Aaron Dunn is falling into the Michael Stanley category - trainers who would be better off letting someone else drive

Where is Chris Alford tonight? The stable has one in but Chris is not driving.
He is not suspended so I hope he is giving himself a night off (rather than being crook)

Thanks Stephen, she was impressive

Ben Yole is turning Victoria into Tassie

In R9 at Kilmore he had 5 of the 7 runners and got the First Four
He then had 2 in the next and won that

He seems to be sprecializing in the $4,500 races

Trying to create a bit of interest the SEN team came up with an All Australian Team of Drivers (from the past 18mths)

Talk about an insult to Kate Gath - 2021 National Leading Driver by Stakes won, clear 2nd for Metro Wins (behind GHjnr), 3rd highest % wins to starts

You would think that someone should be doing an interview or one on one article with Julie Douglas
Another 4 winners at Bendigo tonight - she is the 4th leading trainer in the whole of Australia
I don't think I have ever heard from her or seen her in the media

Here is a Harnesslink story from last year, lauding her achievements But where is Julie

I find it a little odd that on the National Top 20 Trainers table

https://www.harness.org.au/ausbreed/...ins?d=28062022

Only 4 are Vics
7 are from NSW
6 are from QLD

Ben Yole at the top of the table is a bit of a joke, it is only because he has already had over 2,000 starters
His winning strike rate is 7.5%
He only has 1 winner per 13 starters
Having whole fields does not help

Ben Yole, might not be a total joke as he is proving pretty bloody successful here in Vic
