Did he not have something in at Snake Gully, Betoota etc ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty, the Betoota you mention is not the Betoota Lakes with the strange shaped sand outlines seen from satellite is it ? And do you know if they do a penetrometer reading on the dust track ? Or merely the old fashion going stick ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty 575 Report post Posted August 4, 2018 I went to the Betoota races twice in the early 90's and I'm pretty sure the "strange shapes" you're referring to (in the google satellite image) are actually the racecourse with adjacent mounting yard/birdcage and parade ring. And there's no way in the world they use a penetrometer instrument or any other bit of newfangled nonsense for that matter. No point. Horses don't travel for days just to get there to be scratched due to the "changing track conditions". One thing for sure is that the horses, and more importantly their connections, are all trying to win. You're not going to travel here just to give the nag a run. Punters love it. I thoroughly recommend a visit there. Red Rum 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
