Mildura

Just to emphasize it a bit more.

Deep Court ran in three Inter Dominion finals.
1970 Showgrounds (2 heat wins), 1971 Addington & 1972 Albion Park (2 heat wins).

Reichman ran in two Inter Dominion finals.
1972 Albion Park (1 heat win, 3rd in the final) & 1973 Harold Park (1 heat win).

Adios Court ran in the 1969 Inter Dominion final at Wayville (1 heat win & 2nd in the final).

My Gal Sal ran in the 1972 Inter Dominion final at Albion Park.

[Showgrounds]

Adios Court also ran in the 1971 final in Melbourne as favourite. Deep Court beat Reichman at the Showgrounds in the 1972 Race of the Century, a special 5 horse invitational mile. First prize was the choice of cash - or a new Mercedes Benz!

At his 54th start a fortnight ago Eddee finally won his first race for new trainer Aaron Bain at 10/1
What do the punters do today - they send him out as virtual equal favourite at $2.60
He ran last

You would think it is another $20k benefit race for Bernie tomorrow
He has won 4 of his last 5 starts, the opposition have won 1 of their last 35 starts

Why isn't any new blood coming to take him on especially when it's a $20k race?????

And another Bernie Winkle $12k benefit today
La Puddie was fancied by some but we were talking about a NR 78 V a NR 120

Having to move the meet to Swan Hill has decimated the meet with 32 scratchings
only 1 of the 12 races will be paying 3 place dividends
there are 3 races with 4 starters and 2 races with 5 starters

(I know which is the bigger priority but you have to wonder whether there weren't alternative covid testing sites)

ps I notice that 3 trainers account for half those scratchings

One of our knowledgeable posters has pointed out to me that it would have to do with things like floating and industry part-time/Mildura locals finding Swan Hill a stretch

Why you don't want 3 of the 5 runners from the same stable in a $12k up to 120 NR race
