It was a goal of the then Racing Victoria CEO a few years ago and it looks like it is happening. No gallops on Mondays and that meeting transferred to give two meetings on Wednesdays. Great idea, now let’s have it in all States. You know sometimes luck does play a part in our Racing life and once again yesterday the SMS had one winner from two but this time the winner was a good price of $2.80 BUT it deadheated. With some agencies and I’m not sure which ones, both runners are paid in full in a deadheat. Similar to a protest payout I guess. So some Members got the full dividend and some didn’t, me for example. Not only that but we had more than the usual number of beaten favourites yesterday and as luck would have it my one Powerplay result occurred while I was picking up my grandaughter from the bus. Oh well, back on the horse today, although if the breeze is good I might skip the races and head out for a sail. It won’t make me any money but the hell with it, I know I will feel good. Six meetings today.
