    • All good I'll "indirectly" reprimand someone.  I've already given Mikey a warning about language.
    • The starters are doing this because unfortunately it's something they are measured on race starts on time  along with the club , yip the club I'm not sure how the club can influence a start from the stand but by default the clubs pay the starter. If you want standing starts that are standing starts give the starter the time to set one unfortunately horse's are horse's not robots.
    • By Brigette Solomon The Graeme Rogerson stable has three runners at tonight’s meeting at Cambridge Raceway that stable foreman and driver James Stormont all considers good each way chances. First up for the stable is the first starter Big Wheels who contests the MVS Equine Hospital Mobile Pace over 2200 metres. The three-year-old gelding is a full brother to the 9-race winner Chimichurri and he starts tonight’s race from barrier 10. Big Wheels has had two educational workouts in preparation for his debut and in his most recent he finished 0.75 lengths behind the lightly-raced Crumsy, who placed in two out of three starts as a two-year-old last year. “He’s a big Bettor’s Delight who is still learning but he’s been improving each run at the trials,” says Stormont, “if he gets the right run, he can run in the money but he’s still very much a work in progress and will be better in six months’ time.” In Race 6, Rogerson and Stormont combine once again with Sharp Image starting in the Off The Track Food & Bev Handicap Trot. The lightly-raced three-year-old has had just seven starts for two placings, including a third placing here when fresh up on March 28. Although 6.5 lengths from race winner Final Approach, Sharp Image trotted solidly and fought on well after sitting three back on the fence throughout. He starts from barrier one on the front line in tonight’s race. “He went a good race when first up but was a little disappointing last start,” says Stormont, “we’ve gone away and changed up his workload plus added the removeable deafeners tonight so I’m hopeful there will be some improvement.” The Rogerson stable’s final runner for the evening is Always Flyin in the Friday Steak Night At The Clubhouse Handicap Pace. Already a four-race winner, including twice at this track and distance both from a mobile and stand, he meets just a five horse field with only one runner, Bet West, starting ahead of him on the front line. He is driven tonight by in-form junior driver Harrison Orange in the hopes of a penalty free win. “His work has been very good and he’s a really honest horse,” says Stormont, “Harrison (Orange) is driving him tonight, he’s a junior driver that’s doing a great job and I’m happy to be putting him on and I think the horse should be right in it tonight.” Racing action gets underway tonight at 4.26pm.
