I only had three bets yesterday;
High Opinion (I got $6.50) was my best of the day R3 in Brisbane, 2nd, beaten by a lip
My old mate Vengeur Masque ($101) in the Sydney Cup, looked home only to get nutted, 2nd again
Finally I backed Dreamed ($101) R7 at Morphettville, flew hope beaten a nose...2nd
Good return the last 2 as I backed then e/way but could’ve been a massive day.

I didn't even see any of the Oakbank races.Booney wrote:How disappointing was the crowd at Oakbank yesterday? Under 5,000 on Monday, around 20,000 on Saturday meaning under 25,000 for the weekend. I popped into the local to watch a few races yesterday and on the inside of the track near the finish post there was about 5 people, I remember being there and it was 5 deep!
In 2003 over 100,000 people attended over the 4 day weekend.

I was asked to go, bus trip there and back, all the piss I could drink for the day, breakfast and lunch, all for $120, I don't support jumps races so I declined.

A bit the same here, I'm of the opinion jumps racing should come to an end.

Crap fields would have a big impact.
Splitting the carnival over weeks and not 2 days means less campers onsite. Im not sure on the numbers in past years of how many used to camp up there but it would be almost non existent now??
People have moved on, found other activities to do.

Check it out today and he's in race 3, barrier 1 with Kayla Crowther on board, 7.5kg lighter than the toppy
Is she still allowed to ride after the efforts at Caulfield? Lol
Na, she's not too bad. I was just bitched about the ride on Music Bay
