Sure enough Aardies express wins by a length in 1.48.9,after sitting 3 wide then without cover for the last 1000m. Just too good although was asked for the effort to do it. The thing that surprised me was the price. I had thought $2 was great,but it ended up at $2.80 on the tote and $2.70 on the ff for a win. The money came for its stablemate manhattan which was the big shortener. What was a bit of a shame was the mare still seemed to be a bit sore somewhere and jack trainor seemed to steer a wider path in the back straight as she had a tendency to move in on the bends. A very good mare,just hope she handles the racing ok. i though fate awaits went very good gammalite. Ran 3rd. But the couple of 2 year old races i saw were dominated by the clayton tonkin horses. What was interesting was how big a gaps there was between the winner ,then place getters,then the bulk of the field. 7 of the first 9 races were won by horses paying $2.50 or under at melton. The other 2 races the winners paid just over $20,with the red hot favorites running a place. -

Why do most clubs run their main race as the second to last. If its 10 races on the programme then its Race9. By that time most patrons are tired and want to go home. Also by that time the track is in worse condition than say race 5. Lets be logical. Have the main race mid afternoon before Australians get engrossed in their features and not late afternoon. Too many feature races are falling by the wayside unnecessarily. -
I guess the cost of advertising has never been cheaper for some time. Personally i believe its something that entain should do,but it has to be targeted and marketed properly. In that vein,i give you an example of where Entain dropped the ball. Instead of giving $25,000 back to Boys Get Paid last week,they could have spent it on showcasing that nights racing with ads in mainstream media.. $25,000 would have gone a long way. Just imagine them spending that on ads with video clips of the Boys get paid cheering their bets on at the races,winning connections after the races were run,matt cross jumping for joy after he won the $50,000. It was all there,the excitement harness racing and all racing can generate,but no,entain instead of promoting the sport in that way,chose to give a gift to the BGP. The BGP would have been better off getting free exposure on mainstream media in a video clip,than being given money. So much of what happens i can make no sense of,but its not me making the calls. As to montana being owned by the entain man. Yes i had thought that was the case although i wasn't 100% sure of exactly the level of his connection with montana ltd. My points around that bonus scheme and what hrnz and entain said the goals were. The main one was to increase 2 yo numbers starting. surely they must have known that never made any sense. Like its as if they were saying people would race their 2 year olds,knowing their 2 yo still weren't going to have anymore chance of winning than they did the year before,because they still had the same ability,bonus or no bonus. It will only be late in the year when that may be a factor,but not for great numbers. So i'm also making the point that self interest appeared to be significantly behind the decision for those bonuses.Surely its not just me that sees the people who came up with the idea of the bonuses were the ones who are winning the bonuses. Self interest decisions are made in all aspects of peoples lives,but that doesn't make it right. There has to be more depth in the thinking when decisions like that are made,otherwise things will never improve.
