Ch2 ODDS AND ENDS - not big enough for a thread of their own

I hope the escapee recovers fully Katie. Gums really are bloody dangerous things.

Being pedantic here, I know, but I wonder why Terang today is called a Twilight meet (the last is at 8.36) while yesterday's Melton was called a Night meet (the last was at 8pm)

Anybody know what caused R6 at Mildura today to be abandoned?

I keep seeing massive discrepancies between odds quoted with the fields and 'actual' SP
Just now R2 Shep Tasma Flash listed as $14 - paid $4

I was watching. Leaving the straight with two laps to go a horse racing midfield on the inside appeared (to me) to choke down and ran a horse outside it up the track, locked wheels in the process and tipped the driver out. Another horse appeared to go down. Between them they pretty well blocked the track and stewards immediately called it a no race. No other footage was shown, blink and you miss it kinda stuff.

Thanks for the info Trev

I am not sold on thetrots.com.au offering Goodform Gameplan's on Friday and Saturday nights meetings
I think they need to remember the GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY message and tone them down a bit
Anyone following Blake Redden's plan for tonight at Shep have started their weekend losing at least $280 on my reckoning
This included a $100 bet in one race (and not on the odds on fav)

Our thoughts are with Paul (Toohard) after his promising mare Something Fast broke down in R4 at Cranbourne last night and could not be saved

Yes mate, I know the family is shattered, young Luke was calling the race as well to further the pain. Bloody horses, at times like this you question your sanity.
