Gees. They really are starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel today.

5 Class 3 on a Saturday Metropolitan race day.

Is it just me who thinks these **** night/twilight meetings are degrading the sport.

Cheers.

Gday darky...

just something to mull over.... normally when I do my ratings for a Saturday, there are between 1000 -1200 runners from all around the country.. but today there are 700 odd.. must be trainers winding up for tomorrow... tho Monday has a stack of runners...

G,day XPT.

What truly amazes me though with these W A N K night /twilight meetings is the race clubs are supposedly trying to win back the public to attending the track.

I ask .Who has the time to attend with juggling children or winding down after work at these type of meetings .

The money squandered in promoting this rubbish would be better spent on the punting CONSUMER elsewhere.

Cheers.

Darcy, the Moonee Valley night meetings have been one of the few successes the racing industry have had over the last few months. While the turnover and crowds are down elsehwhere, at the Valley the crowds and the turnover are both up susbstantially since they switched to Friday nights.

I personally love the moonee valley friday night meets im from the younger generation though.

Do you attend the track itself?.

Cheers.
