I decided to read stuff in these posts.. I must confess, there is a lot of knowledge here.. I got giddy so forgive me.
It seems Sky has the rights ( for how long) , their parent is not Foxtel is it. I assume not. If not I saw somewhere that Foxtel were on their knees. Is there any hope Foxtel could take on harness racing. The problem
m to me it seems is not having much larger purses at Melton for say Saturday night quality events . Then again when I went to Moonee Valley ( or was it Melton) just to see if Blacks a Fake could 'do a Makybe Diva' and win 3 inters in a row..in 2008.. I only went to see him for this special event.. I think he was 6 to 4 .. I backed him then went home.. but what amazed me was there was hardly anyone there .. it mattered .. I felt flat .. It was the first time I had gone to the trots since the mid 70s . The atmosphere at the Melb Showgrounds was pretty good.. I think the elevation of the stands and being close to the circuit added excitement.. I actually part owned Padomatic .. a horse that would lose 100 metres at the start in a mobile .. You probably would not have heard of him .. Ray Searby trained and drove him.. he's 78 now. You may have heard of other owners , Ken Brown and my brother John. I suspect not though . So, can we get crowds at the Trots .. fear not ... even if we had another Halwes. ��
oops I just read about Foxtel phone delay omg but do they televise anything now?
