Won and paid $2.30 - the two class horses simply had to fight this one out

Emma Stewart had 4 in at Mildura today - not something that happens very often.
All were Odds On (3 very much so) but only 2 were winners

We might just about need the Heat Policy for Mildura on Friday - it is expecting 29° (lucky they are not racing on Thursday as they are expecting 32°)
You have to be a Victorian from further south, to appreciate how unfathomable these predictions are

Here you can see why Mildura seems very appealing
This is 1pm not 1am

Tuesday is not their usual day but you can see why tonight's meeting is not as big as we expect at Mildura

With all but one race for $4k who other than locals are going to go all that way

At least they have 7 races, we are starting to see more and more 6 race meetings

IMO .......No one should have to race for 4 grand.
It is embarrassing.

We raced for 4 grand at Newcastle in 2006!!!!

Yes and the median Melbourne house price has gone from $352k to $850k in that time

At least harness racing hasn't contributed to inflation!!

HRV to trial trotting races at Mildura from August

https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/art...a-from-august/

If these races are for $4k who is going to go all that way
Maybe some trotters will be sent to Mildura trainers?
Are there many Mildura trainers experienced enough with trotters?

I am going to take a look back and see if Mildura has been struggling for numbers, I know some tracks have NOPE

Unless they are paying $7k prizemoney, I have my doubts that this will be a successful trial
