i see in the heat at wentworth park there is grade 5 dogs aloud to race , that would not happen here in vic,
shows the differents with vic and nsw racing
nsw racing is for all vic racing for a elite few. in the big prize money races, look at this two dog garbage we have down here in vic,
takes away trainers right to compete, is nsw racing for all because of a liberal goverment , is vic racing for the select few because it a labour state,
or is it beacause nsw has a top guy who looks after all

That's just factually wrong.
25 of the 47 runners in the Geelong Cup heats were grade 5s. 23 of the 37 runners in the Australian Cup Prelims were grade 5. 32 of the 71 runners in the final round of Melbourne Cup Preludes were grade 5s.
If you want to have a crack at the big prize money races in Victoria, nominate for them.

how many at the meadows group races , most are invitation, and these two dog races take away the chance of six trainers to compete. the melbourne cup preludes give every boby a chance to nom for, so you come up with geelong cup , wow

Credit where its due from a Victorian. The thunderbolt series heats, semis, final and million $ races have the right format. Thunderbolt heat winners include multi track record holder ( 14 wins from 24 starts) never been over 500 metres. Generates enthusiasm dont you think? Group races in vic over 500 metres with starters selected ( spots not competed for) may well be losing their relevance, if in fact they had any for the masses and the standard 500 metres including the carnage at the first turn may well lose its appeal. Well done nsw. jmo
