Victorian Country Cups circuit 2016

This is the first of the "restricted" cup races. No faster than M2 gives some of the lower assessed pacers a run at bigger money.

A big chance one of these horses will win the $25,000 bonus too.

Donald and St Arnaud are 38 kms apart and run their Cup on the same day.

Remarkable.

Abandoned is a surprise - we have had heaps of rain at the Gap but Stawell and Charlton very little but maybe they copped what Bendigo got but 10mm between 10am and 3pm is no flood

St Arnaud to be rescheduled. I wonder if the main problem was the mobile barrier? Do they have a 4 wheel drive vehicle?

St Arnaud , this is very good , don't think it happens in many places. Well done HRV.

HRV will also pay all drivers’ fees from Sunday and make a ‘meeting abandonment payment’ to each trainer that had a runner or runners engaged to offset travel costs.”
Trainers will receive compensation of $100 for every two horses they had at the meeting, meaning trainers who had 1-2 horses will get $100, trainers with 3-4 horses will receive $200 and trainers that had 5-6 horses will get $300

It is a pretty good field for the Geelong Cup in just over 2hrs time.
A bit of a surprise to only see 6 in the Trotters Cup

Full brothers from running years won running races at Geelong tonight
They both did it tough in the death with Major Secret taking out the Cup and Vanderley the race before.
Vanderley who has always shown ability is the older of the two but has had TWO 17mth spells in his career.
Their half sister is Beauty Secret
