Honestly I was hoping for a local victory, you guys down there race for pretty ordinary prize money year round and to have most of your cups and this one head back north more often than not cannot be good for Tassie racing!! 75k is great prizemoney for the race but to only have won 1 out of the last 5 hurts! The Juvenile set up is great for young dogs and connections but how the hell a mixed grade 4/5 can only be worth and extra $15 to win has got me stuffed and a Invitation an extra $245!!!! Thats the top race of the night against sometimes first starters!!!!
My point being that it would have been great for that 75 grand to have been retained in Tassie(or atleast 2nd or 3rd $$), however the best dog won on the night and from what I saw most had no excuses!!
