I am guessing the covid lockdown has produced all the scratchings at Menangle tonight?

[Yabbie]

yes, any horse outside 'restrictions' area was to be scratched

What a massive night of racing at Menangle with the first of the $150k biggies kicking off at 7.40
then it is five of the best until just after 10.03

Racing at their main/metro track means something in NSW

From the first race meeting in January 2022 the base prizemoney for mid-week races run by Club Menangle will increase to $9,800.

Prizemoney for these races will be advertised at $9,996, as NSW pays 102 per cent of base prizemoney to ensure all starters receive a minimum of two per cent.

It would have been great if they had increased it by $4 more - $10,000 has a much better ring to it

Ultimate Baxter has not raced that much at Menangle but he improved seconds to beat his stablemate Ultimate Byron again, it must not have been a surprise to the stable as he was kept pretty safe as 2nd fav

From the same race, I was thinking it might be time to try driving Smaltese as a sit and sprinter
