Huge day today at bendigo for charity games. Great turn out, great effort by all who organised and sponsored/donated etc. massive money raised for a great cause.
35 mins between races is too long if we are going encourage people to attend unless we are going to provide some entertainment (preferably harness related) but dragging it out to 40mins for the last three races at Maryborough today is ridiculous - 40mins is bloody big chunk of time.

RACE 5 – SOMERSET MEATS 2YO PACE – 1609 METRES
Pre race blood samples were taken from MOONLIGHT EYRE NZ and LOVE THIS DRAGON.
W Dawson trainer of A GOOD IDEAL NZ was fined $50 under Rule 210 for failing to notify a drive for the colt by the prescribed time.
RETURN ACE (R Morris) which was drawn to start from barrier 8 on the front line broke stride part way through the score up which resulted in the gelding being well out of position when the start was effected. After an inquiry where Stewards took into account the gelding’s recent record in this regard RETURN ACE was excluded from the mobile barrier draw for the immediate future.
GILGUY (R Adams) broke stride at the commencement of the first turn which resulted in the gelding losing valuable ground. After an inquiry where Stewards took into account the gelding’s limited racing history GILGUY was stood down until it can requalify.
WHOS DRIVING (A Day) broke stride on two occasions during the event and as a result the gelding finished well back. After an inquiry where Stewards took into account it was the gelding’s first race start WHOS DRIVING will be required to requalify on one occasion prior to returning to racing.
When I am on one of the forum home pages, I get a little line above the Harnesslink banner that indicates that suggests the page is opened in duplicate - anyone else ever see that?

How good is it that the Victorian Govt will get involved with his farewell.
If only the main stream press could give the sport some good stories like his.
