    Country Cups for 2023

    As well as Bendigo on Saturday (see separate thread)
    we have Cobram on Sunday
    I wonder why they limit their's to a max of 105 NR?

    The Trotting Cup has only attracted 6 but it still looks a good field

    I reckon Jason Grimson is also a good thing to Quinella the Pacing Cup today

    Curly James wins the Cup - his dam is a ¾ sister to Ladies In Red and bred by Anne

    Hamilton would be very happy with the quality of the fields for both their Cups on Sunday

    Interesting to see Plymouth Chubb now a 4yo, taking on some quality trotters

    I am still not sure how I feel about the Pacing Cup being over a short/middle distance
    It really makes it a handicap for the better rated horses in this PBD

    Trainers would not appear to have supported Shep very well tonight
    Half the races only have 5 or 6 runners

    What a contrast - last week to this week
    Last week's Lead Time was 1.52 pace for the Shep Cup the Lead Time was nearly 2.05 pace

    Trotters had better watch out or else they will lose Stand Starts too
    All 3 favourites blew the start in the Hamilton Trotting Cup today

    It is the St Arnaud cup on Monday

    Correction - it is no their Cup but rather the $25k Central Vic Pacing Championship and the $25k Central Vic Trotting Championship
    I am going to leave this post here for now

    Maybe if I can get myself healthy
    It is over 100km away But it is in the same Shire as me (we are The Big Country)

    It's good to see that the time honoured Central Vic Championships run as a co-operative between Charlton, Boort, Wedderburn, Maryborough and St Arnaud Clubs, has reverted to its original formaat of heats (two of them) and a final.

    The first was won at Echuca in 1960 by Miracle Echo, trained by Ken Wills and driven by former chief steward Rod Osborne.

    The trotting version followed 20 years later:
