Watch the outside Barrier bias.

When it has been raining at the Valley, they put on a heap of sand. This naturaly affects the race outcomes. You will see great horses today LOOSING unless they are strictly front runners [would you perform well with sand being kicked in your face at race speed?].

This track is a disgrace. See the views of any Jockey or Trainer about it's appalling
and dangerous condt.and outside Barrier bias.

This is one camper that's money wont be visiting the Valley today.

Thanks for the information on the track.

WHY EVEN CONSIDER A SLOW TRACK AT ALL.

wife and i in melbourne for saturday and went to the valley.
had great day although tough on the punt.
magnificent win by yell.

had a lucky cleanup on sciatica/ vicksburg quinella paid all the days costs etc.
some criticisms of the valley many years since i was there.
over staffed to blazes. still in the 19th century management wise.
3 red coats on every gate to ensure undesirables like myself (even though we paid $15 each to get in.) from entering anywhere where the vested interests or the elites might be.
could nt find the gents near the cox plate room. asked 3 attendants (signs were up) but they didnt know either. one young red coated lady said she didnt need to know cause she didnt use that one.

over all i am whinging a bit but really a great and enjoyable day. yell is a super horse. gauci outstanding.

but i think the overheads of the track are far in excess and the track is not egalitarian enough for the clients.

for what its worth.
regards

Hate to disagree but love the valley on a heavy track. Just look for leaders or horses racing handy and you cant lose. Back 3 or 4 in a race. R1 bet 3 got Best Picture $23.10 and went home straight away a very happy camper.
Cheers
