St Arnaud Cup Sunday

[The Form Student]

Penrith - 130 metres

Devonport is a deadset bowl, I'd even doubt it was 100m.
All this makes me think of Casino greyhound track.....straight = 0metres

I think Devenport might be the winner = 110m

I hope we end up getting the replays for the last 5 at St Arnaud - I saw the Pacers cup but would like to see the Trotters Cup

The winner of the trotters was less like a trotter & more like a jet!!

Time to get out the road maps again for your ONCE A YEAR opportunity to see racing at St Arnaud tomorrow

The cup is not until 4.57 so you have plenty of time to get there. It is an interesting little town so if you cannot make it this year - book in for the weekend next year

Their only home meeting for the year but with a most respectable $14.5k for both the pacers and trotters cups

With a home straight of only 150m - is there a track (still in use) with a shorter straight?

Can you believe this:
BOTH THE ST ARNAUD PACING CUP AND THE DONALD JOCKEY CLUB CUPS ARE ON THE SAME AFTERNOON?

For those not sure of their geography, St Arnaud ( population 2600) and Donald ( population 1600 ) are approx 38Kms apart on the Sunraysia Highway west of Bendigo and north of Ballarat.

What a disaster for race-goers, townspeople, sponsors and volunteer workers. How did this happen????

The codes do not seem to care about each other.
I got completely stitched up Noel as feeling a bit off, I thought it would be easier to stay home and watch both on TV but Ch68/78/Sky522/racing.com have made the lesser Geelong their feature meet so no interviews, the things I enjoy, from Donald
ps only 4 pacing races at StA did not enthuse me either

And the first two races at St Arnaud, both trots were very ordinary.
The winners earned their share easily with breakers, locked wheels and small fields. Not a good look.

I think the Trotters Cup was an even worse look Noel

Now that is what harness racing is about - check out the Pacing cup people - good race & great finish
