They show alot of international trotting in Aus on the racing channels mainly in the mornings, 3 or 4 tracks from each country, US, France Sweden and sometimes Canada. Most of the card is shown sometimes 10 races from each venue. Fixed odds betting is available on some of the venues about 5 minutes before the start. If your quick you can actually get inflated prices because the money on the tote comes on very late and tote prices drop dramatically due to not much money in the pool. Of course its no good unless you back the winner!.

Races from Sweden are interesting as they often race in the snow, even the track is white. How they maintain grip amazes me. I can only remember one race in NZ in the snow and that was at Methven must be 40 years ago. I think a horse called Angelo Dundee won a race on that program . Also the starts in France are interesting with the horses doing circles off the track and then moving out onto the track and then getting a rolling start.  I think Globe Derby tried a similar start a few years ago but canned it as every second start was a false start. Not so in France. Also you dont seem to see any use of whips or very minimal at least, they run on their natural ability.  Interesting article from BeerWD which explains somewhat how they run so well and are well behaved. 

Shame they are not shown in NZ because it is very enjoyable to watch if not a good betting proposition. That probably explains why they are not show in NZ as of course Aus has a much bigger betting pool of punters who will have a go at anything!

 

More recently, some 6-7 years ago,  the last race at Methven was run in driving snow. I am pretty sure it was Anthony Butt who drove the winner. He summed up the situation very quickly, raced to the front and led thereafter. For rather obvious reasons the order hardly changed at all after the first 200 metres. Looking back now, I am surprised the race was held at all.

Sell A Bit and For The Girls won the other two heats on the night.An ex-kiwi treble ! How good is that ?. I found out that there is 5 weeks of Open Class/FFA racing in the series so will be interesting to see what the finals night going to produce. As well as the mares series , there is a male equivalent series and I heard Wiggle It Giggle It will make his debut in that series this week. His trainer has said he will take it as it comes whether or not he makes the final (only two night of heats left).

Watch and Bet has Yonkers races listed but no betting at the moment, hope TAB fix this . Note Yonkers favours inside draws as is a half mile track. 

Also wonder if They can get Northfield Parks big race today - Battle Of Lake Erie
