    October Derbies illustrate the massive difference between the trots and the gallops

    When Leap Of Fame won the Vic Derby on Oct 8, the gallops would have him as a 4yo

    When Sharp N Smart (or whoever) wins the Vic Derby on Oct 29, the trots would have him as a 2yo

    Here we have a win over the TBreds I reckon.

    While the winners honour roll has managed to stay strong the depth of the gallops Vic Derby is pretty ordinary. Only going to continue to get worse with races like the Slipper, Everest and Golden Eagle. Some chatter of changing their distance to 2000m.

    Last years Pacers Derby alone has already produced the Vic Cup winner, Chariots & Sunshine Sprint winner/Miracle Mile placegetter, Miracle Mile 2nd favourite, Maryborough Cup winner, NSW 4yo Champs Gp1, Tas Easter Cup Gp1 winner while it also had the QLD Derby winner in the field.
