I was thinking along the lines of extending and elevating the rabbit-proof fence and electrify with 66,000 volts to keep the eastern hordes out.Quote:

55/95 WA trained horses with NZ suffix.
58% of the starters on opening night of an Inter Dominion Championship were bred about 6,000 kms away from Gloucester Park. On the other hand, last year's "NZ" Inter winner was Wangaratta-bred.Quote:

Twilight heats tonight

East coast workers can watch them and still be in bed by 10pm :)
I am glad I heard Sky1 mention the exclusive Inter coverage on Sky2 after the 2nd heat.
I cannot find any mention of it anywhere - even on the WA site
Did they do this for the first round of heats last week?
The extended coverage gives you a look at the crowd (outside at least) - it looks pretty average, Tuesday twilight or not.
ps Can't we ban horse nose strips - as if we need more gear on harness horses
Tiger Tara has taken 1.5 secs off the Tk Rec and Lazarus has gone super
With the 2 WA hopes looking good, we just need them all to hold it together for 2 more races for what shapes to be a fantastic final
Tiger tara went brilliantly and may be capable of an upset in the final if it gets a draw. Been performing very well at the top level for some time now. The buy of the century for the Pizzuto clan.
Mark Purdon is quietly playing them all off a break, he hasn't asked any more of Lazarus than absolutely necessary so far and will have the horse 110% on final night. Only bad luck will beat him in the final and i haven't seen him in the heats.

No, it was because there wasn't much international racing till later in the night and the heats were scheduled earlier than last Friday - you may have noticed that after the third heat last night, all the international gallops meetings started. Shame they did not advertise the all night coverage earlier - I only happened on it on twitter as I was leaving work at 6.30pm Melb time. I would not expect to see it for the final heats on Friday nor for the final. It was fantastic coverage though - see what they can do when they try and give our sport the coverage it deserves and needs :)
