I am going all jingoistic and barracking for the only All Aussie bred (immediate family anyway)

Great to see the first 2 pacing heats were interesting keenly contested affairs

Great work to see the jog track at Ballarat being put to good use to provide some camera angles we don’t usually see. Pat on the back for whoever came up with that!!

A drive like that would have got Tiger Tara over the line in most races he has been in over the past 6 months. I think Todd will learn from that drive though leading into races like the Interdominion.

18months on and the next Interdomion on and Todd hasn't learnt. 26.6 3rd quarter was not needed tonight. If goes 27 or 27.5 3rd quarter we would be looking at Tiger Tara being favourite next week.

And sure I might be armchair driving and couldn't judge the pace myself, but C Alford, G Lang, L McCarthy, N Jack, G Sugars etc seem to be able to do it.

The Cranbourne heats got progressively quicker but the last half of each one were nearly all the same

54.8 54.8 55.0

A pity ID19 won't be in Vic, would be looking forward to Shepparton defending the pacing title next year.
Massive run San Carlo, I reckon his prep has included the possibility of a run like last night's. Might have to take what's on offer before the barrier draw falls in his favour

They surely would be giving the wooden spoon to you rather than the last placegetter

Draw for the final is out.

So Galactic Star leads (surely Mach Doro and Maximan understand there place?), and should hand up. Who gets to him first, Pats Delight or Spankem? Pats Delight was only fair out when he drew #2 in heat 2 but wasnt pushed, Spankem wasn't bustled out when he drew the front in one heat either. Who of those two will cross first? Gav did show aggression night one so hoping he does here too.

Tiger Tara should go across to the death and the way he went in the Vic Cup and NZ Cup the $7.50 available absolutely astounds me. If Cruz Bromac comes knocking keep him posted.

San Carlo only hope is if Galactic Star holds the lead and then he is a big hope but I dont think that will happen.

Cruz Bromac is every bit as good as the 4yos and Tiger Tara but I think will be found out a bit from this draw.

1. Tiger Tara
2. Pats Delight
3. Galactic Star
4. Spankem
5. San Carlo
6. Cruz Bromac
