PP appears to have been spot on with his article this morning, well done.
But here is the real scandal. The stewards had nothing at all to say after this horse won today but cop a load of the puerile rubbish the put in the stewards' report from 2 May. Kindergarten level stewarding, read race 7:

This is what Trevor is referring to
Don't you love how she does the little kid 2 excuses line just in case they don't believe the first one - pathetic
ps If they do not believe she was trying then they should be questioning the trainer too - in my book stewards should be feared!

Popular Alm won the Italian Cup worth $10k in 1984 and the median house price was $68,200
10/06/2023 the Italian Cup is worth $24k and the median house price is $836,800 (down from $900k in 2022)
Admittedly we are talking about 'more house' but in 1984 the $7k 1st Prize was worth more than 10% of a house
In 2023 the $13,680 1st is worth a bit over 1.5% of a house

HRV programmes run of the mill races and, these days, passes them off as time-honoured feature races. All smoke and mirrors.
House prices unfair indicator though given the very same house despite being 23 years older have gone from around 3x median wage in 2000 to 7-8x median wage in 2023. Using median wage as the indicator:
1984 median wage $25k
2022 median wage $65k
1984 1st prizemoney 28% of median wage
2023 1st prizemoney 21% of median wage
Did anybody know the Truer Memorial was on Monday?
WOW we missed it

I see this was posted on the day (but I did not see it then)

Was once a race we would NEVER EVER forget and it IS still worth $50k (Half what it used to be but still significant and a Gp3)

I haven't looked but let me guess. The Treuer Memorial at Bankstown.
Run on a 7 race card on a public holiday Monday afternoon. Another wonderful marketing and publicity failure.
