Menangle

[Harold Parker]

Before heading overseas I was a frequent visitor to Harold Park for 20+ years. I owned a place right next to the Hotel.

Tomorrow night will be my first visit to Menangle. I can get to Newcastle quicker than Menangle.

Other than bogans, with mullets wearing flannies, what can I expect out there. What's the food like ?

Go there with an open mind , not clouded by opinions of others and report back here with your findings on Sunday :-)

(P.S. I love the place!!)

Perhaps you should pass on that advice to someone visiting Melton as well. If in fact you have been there.

LCL - Not as though I need to explain myself to you , but I have been to Melton three times. First time , just after it opened "wide eyed" and excited. That did not last long. The other two times early last year was dragged along by others despite a little bit of a protest . Now all of us choose to watch Melton from home. Does that satisfy your curiosity??

I have been to Menangle 3 times and loved it. Tried to get to Melton once and could find no one who knew how I could get there. However, I have been since and while the racing was great the rest could of been any other course anywhere.

Watch out Ray. Any slightly negative comment about Melton in the forums and Leigh (LCL) may follow you around the forums waiting to put you down , no matter what the topic.

BTW, on my three visits to Melton the racing was great but I won't encourage LCL into jumping up and down by making any further comment about the track and facilities than I have previously expressed elsewhere.

So what makes a good Track? I have been to many in NSW, QLD and Vic. I find that from an owner perspective, I like easy access to stables and my horses, from a punter and viewer, I like easy access to the sidelines, the betting facilities and the food. and COMFY seats. (they always seem to forget that part!)

SO HP, whats it like??

If it takes longer to get to Menangle than Newcastle from Paddington he is going the wrong way 70ks versus 160k
