Ballarat have had similar success of late too with groups, charity nights etc.
As an aside Kyle. Have been going to Moonee Valley and Flemington gallops the last 6 months or so. Take Luke to practice his race calling. World class facilities even in the middle of winter. And guess what? No bugger turns up! Crowd at Moonee Valley other week less than trots 20 year ago on a slow day. Central Melbourne location and no one turns up! Not just harness racing suffering. Guess Melton trying to engage local community and good for them. Will only get bigger I reckon.
