In particular it will be used as an educational facility for Stewards. The property will also be used as the show piece for the Horse Rehabilitation Program and for a Quarantine Station” Mr Balding said.

they have the biggest races in Autumn (slipper, QE). Like it or not, they have the biggest race in the spring (Everest). Havent even heard about the Melb Cup yet, all the articles online are focusing on the Everest. Goes to show you how big its become just after one running.
Prizemoney is sky high, and continues to rise.
I think every other state would want to be in their shoes right about now.
