I think more than anything in Sydney the problem is the dominance of Waterhouse and Hawkes. I don't know if it so much scares people away from the place but I think they would rather go either to a county meeting or to Melbourne or Brisbane than to go into a race which is made up of 50% Hawkes and Waterhouse.

I myself find iut hard to sit there and try and work the form out for a race when one trainer has 4 runners in it all with a very good chance of winning it you usually find that there is one of those horses there to set it up for one of there others.

Plus I guess I have alot against Gai cannot stand the woman and am happy pretty much every year come melbourne carnival time cause she rarely comes away with anything which really makes you wonder what goes on in Sydney where she dominates.
