Will be the best track in Australia once it settles down, And nearly the quickest as well. Looks Fair for all runners and can come from nearly anywhere in the run. Thank god moonee valley nearly finished bcos racing there was too biased.
People called for them to build 1400m track like menangle, but its not as good as they hoped and people aren't happy with the way its racing.
HRV have got it right!!!!!!!!!!

Track looks to be pretty good, except for the sprint lane starting a sulkies length from the finish post.

I initially agreed with the comments about the sprint lane starting too late BUT upon studying the facts re-length etc, I think its fair and the track is top shelf :lol: :lol:
- Just how long do you give the bludgers to use the sprint lane anyway ;)

I like the track but am not a fan of a sprint lane anywhere.

I like the Sprint lanes and they should begin at the TOP of the straight to give ALL horses as much chance as possible, NOT just the horse leaders back but also horses 2 back, 3 back the pegs etc. If i'm on a leader and get knocked off by the sprint lane, so be it - NOT good enough, simple as that, remembering that the leader has the option of handing up any time during the race and using the sprint lane themselves.
