19mm in a half hour could have been enough to damage the track, probably rutted or washed out part of it.

In two weeks we are commencing a series of 1200 mtre races at Pinjarra, about 4 per meeting every two weeks. I would be interested in any comments about the recent Victorian experience especially with regards to participation numbers, room for improvement, impact on horses etc.
I watched a few replays from Melton and my immediate impression was that they don’t seem like a good look for the sport re quite a few drivers vigorously harassing horses to go faster/keep up a long way from home. Is this a good way to increase interest/revenue with the wider population or are we further damaging our social license of racing horses for sport?
