Just took the first lap video drive, I am surprised the bends do not have more camber. They would have to have good drainage along the home straight fence, I imagine.
It is all looking very impressive. Well done to all concerned.

Its actually a bit decieving looking at the pics , in person it seemed like you were a lot higher above the track
Looks brilliant, as a Victorian Im jealous! The facilities looks to be very well planned. I can't wait to see the finish result on Sky Racing!!

Bathurst Set For Grand Opening
Greg Sugars was a Champion harness racing person
Should be a big day for all enthusiasts over the hill, hoping to get a run if his forms still good enough i think there will be a lot nominating for the Sunday meeting
Looks like a very good program for the first meeting for the new track, good to see. Prizemoney is first class; It would be good to see the prizemoney level stay somewhere around the $10,000 mark. I wonder if they got any snow the other day, hope the weather is sunny for all concerned.
Thought the racing there last night was very competitive, a very different look for the Bathurst of old with most horses getting their chance now. Only one horse, Zirconia, in Race 6 took any real advantage of the sprint lane but came up short. What troubles me though is the finish line. In the same race, Artistic Reba to the naked eye clearly wins the race in the middle. Uh uh uh. Tictoctuck gets the nod (and pretty quickly too from the judge) in a finish where even Kevin got it wrong. Shades of Melton...we might have to send Toohard and his lad out to Bathurst with set square in hand to clarify the finish line angle.

Just at the finish if you pause the video you can see the finish post marker on the outside fence and yes the camera is not in line with the winning post yet again.I hope they aren't going to use them shitty looking black marker pegs in the video in back straight you can't see them properly. Also in stewards report Amy Day has had a sex change reprimanded for whip use he applied to horse over concluding stages.
Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
