JJ Flash 2,115 Report post Posted November 26, 2019 Seems to be not a lot of interest on this forum about them or has Cup week overshadowed the event. Heats coming soon and fewer entries than expected by some. Ozzies may well hold sway early doors given how they like to lead at all costs but im surprised at the heats being run for only 30K AG's White Socks been sent to Barry Purdon for the series and is RTM's only drive on Friday night Anyone have any strong thoughts on likely interest or race outcomes Greg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie 325 Report post Posted November 26, 2019 Hi Greg I agree that there just doesn't seem to be the hype usually associated with the Inter Dominions I think that possibly being so close to Cup Week might have stifled interest and publicity as you alluded to Again I agree with you, the Heats at $30,000 seem to me to be a little light as the 3rd Heat, if it was ever a goer, has been replaced by a $15,000 event. Given that $20,000 races were to be the norm at the Park I just think $30,000 for an Inter Dominion Heat is a bit on the low side There is at least some decent Australian participation, particularly if you still count Cruz Bromac as an Aussie, so that's good AG's White Socks just doesn't seem to be the horse he was at times last season. I'll stick my neck out and say an Aussie will win the Final, so long as you let me claim Cruz Bromac as an "Aussie" I'll be watching and hope that the Club does have a successful Series Mikie JJ Flash 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Flash 2,115 Report post Posted November 27, 2019 I'm gonna suggest that the Ozzie drivers will incur the wrath of the RIU over the series. Historically they don't seem to have any respect for our whip rules. Greg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay 1,711 Report post Posted November 27, 2019 They usually up the penalty for the group ones so interesting to see what happens. Sure to be one Aussie cops it. I see that the "Head" Stipe is Nick Ydgren and no doubt Nigel Mc will be up too so the RIU packing the series with the South Island heavies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amati Nidol 38 Report post Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) McLovin Scratched. Damn shame. I thought he was the most versatile horse in trotters series. Hope for a quick recoveryMichael Guerin @GuerinSports 42m42 minutes ago McLovin didn’t eat up last night and woke up with temp this morning so out of first night of Inters but if he improves Andy Gath is still keen to contest 2nd and 3rd nights. But really on back foot to make final now. Edited November 27, 2019 by Amati Nidol New information Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
