Well I guess they had to make a call and the participants want them to make that call early.

Dom To Shoot ran well - ran 3rd. Good each way bet. Paid $5 odd for the place. Super run.

I was there for the Railway and can confirm it was bloody perfect timing to have the race that late. Hopefully it becomes a thing

Must have lost 2 legs heading to the parade ring. And ran according. Another lesson in betting early in the day

There's far too many Group 1 races Australia wide. Full stop. The current Australian racing model (past decade at least) is in my opinion poor.
Then there is these pop up races....these pop up races for example....The Gong....worth $1 million. The Gold Rush. The Golden Eagle. Just on and on and on.
Australian racing seriously needs a major overhaul. One Governing Body to oversee all states/territories. Railway Stakes - a time-honoured race ..lots of history ..but it hasn't been a Group 1 race for years. Sad actually.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg what I've said above. Another issue - Australian racing isn't strong at 1600m+ in terms of depth in numbers for years and years....again that's sad. Australian racing has become obssessed with speed....sprinting. the 1990s for example...great era at 1600m+.....
I've been vocal on social media about Aussie racing for years and of course I get shot down the "Great Defenders of Australian Racing" as I call them...but honestly they are in denial.
Anyway it is what it is.

100%
I was at home but had the sky channel app up on the tv. Good 10-15min coverage leading in to each race, race run, 5 or so mins after then only a 5-10 min lul before on to the next race lead in.
Was perfect.
