Vested Interests in WA Harness Racing saw to it that their State's Breeding Industry was destroyed and now their racing relies almost entirely upon a veritable river of high priced ready mades from NZ. Certain persons over there should hang their God damned heads in shame. Gloucester Park should be renamed Alexandra Park West or maybe Cambridge on the Swan.
