Chief Stipe Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Lockdown causes us all to do weird and wonderful things. Today I thought I would do a tour of the Thoroughbred Racing Tracks of the Australian state of Victoria on Google Earth. I plotted each of the tracks and you can see from the image they are in serious trouble. They have far too many tracks. Ok you might be saying that some of these tracks are worse than Kumara.....well with Google Earth you can zoom in and have a bit of a close up look. Everyone had a grandstand and stables. Every turf track was green. Some of them were extremely picturesque. Many had very small towns not much bigger than Hokitika. Seems every town had a race track or was close to one and had an Aussie Rules/Cricket ground and a Golf Course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a thought though after looking at all those tracks. What is the closest track to Auckland that holds race meetings AND is a training track? Most of the Metrop tracks in OZ are training tracks as well as premier race tracks. Perhaps NZ is onto something..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
