Queensland racing doesn’t do it for me. Neither does SA. Vic rules for me, by the length of the Flemington straight.
Australian racing
I've been keeping a close eye on volumes as we enter this period where there was no racing on last year in the UK.
There has been quite a drop on the average Aussie race, which seems to imply that people switched from UK to Aussie racing. But it's still a little higher than the same period in 2019.
I'm not completely sure what to make of it as this year we appear to be seeing a drop in UK volumes this week so it could be related to that. But the difference between Aus races in April this yer and last are definitely showing a sharp decline.

Makes sense that as uk racing stopped there was a switch to Australia.
In addition lots of people in Australia withdrew money from their super and a bit of that found its way into gaming and some to betfair. And others were just at home, bored and gambling.
What will be very interesting is the warnabool jumps carnival. That was huge last year with everyone at home. I’ll bet it struggles to even reach half of the volume of last year.
I think they usually have a break at this time of year, maybe to rest the turf. I was thinking of giving tonight a miss but Hawkesbury seems to have taken their place.
Hawkesbury is the feature today in nsw.
They do have a break now. Autumn carnivals have ended.
Winter is coming ......

Any plans to bulldoze it and replace it with shitty apartments?
Whats happened at Kempsey .. Betfair show suspended
