That cold dead hand Charlton Heston mantra may well be put to the test
Nah, you're not alone in that boat. I've no doubt heaps of people think/consider that they are one and the same.
To that end I can understand any concerns a Club such as Penrith might have by way of moving to a shared facility Eastern Creek.

[VVV] Ahuh. Some none too subtle leading questions there from Mick. Dale's been writing his material again. Mick even asks the question and as Emma begins to answer he nods his head to give her the signal to agree with what he just said. No way either of them ever get to frame the language for a Referendum.
Oh you old cynic you. Do you think any of the interviews hit the cutting room floor?
Micks favourite out takes?
(There you go Triple, a couple of mares fighting out the first today in the trot)
Plenty. Dale keeps getting Mick to ask the same question of various people until they get the answer they want and that's the one they go with.
...and might I say, a good result in the Trot too.
The Pearl Of Paris, trained and driven by L. Dawson for his Mum. Now 2 starts in Oz, 2 wins.
She's as tough as old goats knees, just keeps coming and Moyabamba heard the footsteps.
Laurence has her eating right, looking right & shod right & he drove her beautifully. They'd be thrilled.
I was being facetious Brad.
Sorry Glen, some of us are a bit slow up this way.
Put aside the likes/dislikes of the Flying? and ponder this.
The brains trust put together something different and from a marketing view it has some things to sell to the punters.Short,sharp,different tactics,money for the next bet quicker,less time between races, etc.etc.
So from a marketing perspective what did we see,apart from a puff piece or two in the Industry Press?
Nothing,not a bloody thing.Obviously they do not care about driving interest in the wider punting public.
QUESTION,DOES THE INDUSTRY HAVE A PUBLICITY/MEDIA officer? If yes,what does he/she do to earn their money.SFA I would suggest.
Not sure I can back you up there 2minuteman. Two prodomenently thoroughbred forums had members mention the Flying K. In one forum it was in a non-harness thread by somebody who I had never seen post anything about harness racing. I don't have Sky on at home but seen stuff on Sky at the pub on Saturday night.
Obviously not perfect marketing if you didn't see it, but they did do a bit.
