Interdominion 2015

[HaroldParker]

Harold I believe that the final was moved to a Sunday afternoon to enable participation by the other states and NZ to make it a true inter dominion. Having it on a Friday night at 9:00pm would be optimum for WA but would be 12:00am in ES and 2:00am in NZ hardly conducive to their participation.

No true harness racing enthusiast (who can't make it to WA) will miss the ID because they turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight.

WA should schedule an ID carnival for WA. It's by far #1 for Harness Racing in Australasia, the industry is thriving over there and I've no idea why'd they give a toss about the Eastern States or NZ. The best race I've seen in a long time was the recent Pacing Cup, worth 400K, not one entrant from outside WA.

As for the lure of the race going live to free to air TV on a Sunday afternoon, how's that worked for Menangle and at what cost ? The last 3 meetings I've been to there, free entry, if there was a 1000 people in attendance, whoever counted them has double / triple vision : )
