Not sure what the official crowd was but considering the weather,I reckon theyd be happy enough. Car park was full so thats a good guide.
Was in the members so its a bit hard to tell.
Biggest night is this week so theyd be hoping for more this Sat.

6/10 faves but a $12 winner to start & a $50 winner to finish.

Personally I had a winning night,not much in it at the end though.
LPW went fantastic again,thought the 3yo fillies gold final was a bit average.

You going this week?

Barrier draw seems to have sorted the race out.
BAF looks an automatic leader from 1 the way he began in the Truer.
Flashing Red straight to the death from 2 & that really looks the race as the death wont be up for grabs.He is low flying FR but I doubt he could win working the whole trip.BGJ to trail through & be the knockout chance.

Only possible chink might be if BAF gets crossed then leader hands up.

Yeah it does look a bit predictable after the draw. I haven't been watching much harness racing of late so I don't really know what I'm talking about, but you don't need to be an expert to see that BAF looks a very good thing.

Would love to see Toe Taper run a big race, and will probably be leader's back all the way, but will struggle to get past the two in front of him.

I'm looking forward to the trot- it's always exciting to see the best square gaiters going around. I hope Delft can find some form back at the Valley for the first time since the Inter Dom trot.

I think BGJ is only danger, but as you say the trot will be great race.

He's short enough at $1.80 though.
Has had a few problems this time in,MM run was good but honestly,his Truer run proved nothing,only had to sprint the last quarter.
FR will be pouring it on,staying test is his only winning chance.Because of that they should all get a crack if theyre good enough.
Should be a great race.

I couldnt back him at those odds when he was $2.75 at newcastle against a far inferior field.

3yo race is also a cracker.
