The one thing I picked correctly all Satdy Night......shame it didn't help my bank.Quote:

He stated he was concerned about safety and attempted to get APOCALYPSEDREAMA away from other horses. Stewards advised A. Robinson that it was a technical breach of Rule 156(3)(f) however they accepted it was done for safety reasons. Stewards advised that in similar circumstances in future, he should shift APOCALYPSE DREAMA to the inside of marker pegs after the finish line.
And much safer than the stewards suggestion. If he is 4 or 5 wide on the track a slowing horse coming down to inside the pegs could cause a bit of trouble.Quote:

Pity the poor owners hoping to win a C0 in the last at Melton this Friday - have a look at who they have to compete with

Wonder will this new racing channel mean that the trots will get a fair go on normal Sky 1 & 2 and not get cut off or crossed to part way through a race? We can but dream.
It sounds like a rebadged TVN to me which involved no extra cost to Foxtel subscribers as it had become part of the basic package, so I am not sure what VL is on about when he says unprecedented.Quote:

Toni, I suspect they will still do it the TVN way in that you will see the main gallops on both Sky 1 and Sky Racing World
We are always going to be intermixed with the dogs - *%#@ I hate the dogs
