I'm not disputing the quality of the facilities or how financial the club is at Cranbourne. HRV has indicated over and over again that only turnover matters, they are not interested in bums on seats so the population of the area is irrelevant in their eyes.
Any club that constantly fail to get full fields should have their meetings reduced.

Trevor that freeway has too many people using it and is constantly blocked, trainers have voted with their feet. Yes even Melton is hard to get to from many parts of the city but the horses are coming from the north and west and it's not to bad for them. I gave up going to Melton on Friday nights due to traffic.
The future of the sport is about people betting from home and pubs and clubs, or watching on their phones. The best thing for horses and trainers is to run the races where the horse population is. And that currently is North, West and central Victoria.
Seems a bit unfair to me to give them extra Sunday meetings and make the horses and trainers travel further , just adds extra costs to owners and drives more away.
If they continue down this path I can't see our industry surviving.
