Well the first 3 races all run in 40°
The winner/fav for R2 was certainly in a lather of sweat (unless he is a roan)
Interesting to note that the gallops abandoned tonight's Moonee Valley meet yesterday
While it has now dropped to 37 feels like 37 at 8.30pm in Mildura, it is only 26 feels like 25 in Melbourne
Bloody ridiculous 10.30pm Mildura = 38° and feels like temp also 38°
(last of the weather reports - sorry but it is another interest of mine)
I would not be surprised if Boort's 11.03 start is to beat the heat
One cannot be sure how hot it is expected to get there today with Vic districts so big and the massive gap in the forecasts map between Warracknabeal and Echuca

It is too hot to be racing at Mildura even tonight
The expected max for today is 39° and it will get there at it is already 36.5° at midday
There is no drop in temp until 8.30pm so more than half the meet will be run in stifling heat
