Ch2 ODDS AND ENDS - not big enough for a thread of their own

[Messenger]

I visited Scottsdale today and saw a harness symbol on the Sports ground sign so I pulled in for a look. I found an unusual track which goes around 2 ovals with big bends and short straights. I have a vague memory of having seen it on Sky sometime But my memory is pretty vague nowadays

Scottsdale:
Correct Kev
Classic Famiies has it as Scott under tracks:

El Major drive at Bendigo is the perfect example why N Jack is best in the business - shame about this other stuff. Granted he led on one of the two favourites but to have the ability to judge the early quarters that he did - amazing stuff. Most other drives go 31, 31, 28, 27 and bring Sugars drive into the race. Drive on Brallos Pass in the Wagga Cup last week was 10/10 as well when beaten.

A lot to like about Ellen Tormey's drives for the Mark Watson stable.

All 9 races at Albion Park were over the mile tonight, a bit unusual.

Answer from HRNSW - prior engagement last Saturday night at Young (noms come out last Friday). Preference given to horses with no prior engagement.

Fantastic that Stawell is getting this upgrade but $546,446 is serious money
Sometimes it would be interesting to see the costings

(You would think that they could have at the very most got it down to $545,000 and had $1,446 to do a driveway out at the Gap)
