Hi Oz ,,not completely off the wall ...you'd have to know the trainers facilities though,,most still work in the rain and alot have all weather training tracks..but i like your thinking..

in regards Mentality and Sparky i think you're being to hard on yourself ,,,Mentality was always going to backed late,, smart punters would have been hoping the Media tip Murty would be short enough to give them better odds...I wasnt there but heard Mentality looked impressive in the yard.. Sparky the same ,,apparently he looked better than he ever has and there was good money (some of it mine) around for the unreliable Written Tycoon..
