That looks like what is happening Kev.
Will be interesting to see the pool for the last at Flemington & the 1st at Melton.

I still cannot believe that there is no harness meet at Yarra Valley on Cup Day. I have not lived there since Black Saturday but I can't believe it wasn't still pulling a crowd as an alternative to Flemington for picnickers
I wonder where they are all going to go - there does not seem to be much on. There is a picnic gallops at Mansfield and ZERO harness day meets
I guess the old Backyard BBQ will be King

Not only is there no YV on Cup Day, there is no harness meeting at all on Monday - this too could have been a good YV day to maybe catch a few taking a sneaky long weekend

When it comes to time between races, Monday's meeting at Charlton has to be the WORST ever
There are 40 or 41 minutes between every scheduled race time

All attendees deserve a medal

Stawell Cup today

This cannot be right can it? There is 47 minutes between R1 and R2

I’m sure it is. It’s awful. Last night at Melton there were multiple long gaps between races (as it was last week). Only thing I could think of was coverage of WA gallops. But that’s not a possible reason for today at Stawell. Sky Channel at its best!! Not

Yes, there are Fields. Yes, there is a Form Guide
But NO, there is no racing at Melton today - it is simply trials
What is going on here (other than confusing people)
This is not the first time either

There was a good meeting at Melton on Friday but why was it a day meeting?
It could have been run in conjunction with the Mildura night meeting
The first 4 races were Homegrown Finals worth $25k each
The Win pools for these races (tote only) were $1k, $3k, $5k, $5k - sad
The first is because it was a 3 horse race (but a good one to watch)

I would like to see meetings with a greater mix of race classes
If you went to Maryborough today the highest class horse you are going to see is an NR58
and no, you're also not going to see and juveniles racing, ¾ of the races are bloody $4k races

Only 6 races at Stawell tomorrow but don't worry it will feel like 8 !
with 40 minutes between races (5x40=200)
instead of an acceptable 30 minutes you will just about be there as long as a full meeting (7x30=210)
