Gallops Odds and Ends (worth a post but not worth a thread)

I tuned into the Geelong Cup today
I must be a purist/traditionalist for when I saw Bet 365 engraved on the Cup, I was horrified

No doubt I would be happy to accept it as a winning owner however

Looking for a gallops meet near me sometime soon and I see Ballarat has 7 meetings in June!

Derby Day at Flemington sees 40 mins between races.
The gallops crowd does make it feel more like an event (and lunch) but 5½hrs from start to finish is a long day
