Victoria - VRI gives green light to Saturday morning trots

[arlington]

Any new product would pretty well be all about turnover. Even a product change like making our last race of a night no later than 10 pm. Doesn't really impact turnover but looks after participants.

Saturday mornings were brought up pre COVID19 during Dayle Brown's CEO roadshows. Again brought up, I think, when Dayle was at the Boort Cup early March. Can't quite remember but the idea might be a Twenty20 type set up for Sat mornings. In and out quick, 10:40 am start, 6 races twenty minutes apart.

You have to be joking

This industry often curses administrators for lack of innovation. Good on them for trying this out

Got me out of bed early!

Fantastic call by Dan. Obviously heavily aimed at the US.

It would seem so Brendan
(I didn't think Americans were big punters)

First race won by a fully American bred filly ! She is a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. Offered for sale as a yearling and didn’t meet her reserve. Half sister to Our Little General and full to Kasbah Kid.

What happens if a horse with a Bicarb enforced early arrival is in Rc1! Early start haha

Bit strange to have the morning meeting on the same day as a night meeting there . Two meetings in the same region on the same day is also strange, trainers and drivers have to go home and come back a few hours later !
