Well done Broome for jumping about 1 minute early

Yes I was confused as I had done a back to lay on 3 horses including 'Strike Force'. I saw that the market was suspended about a minute before the off and thought maybe one of the horses was being withdrawn. As it remained suspended for some time after the advertised off I was wondering if the meeting had been abandoned.

I thought the same

What happened with the graphs, did a bot go crazy, betfair graphs looked like a richter scale early on

Heavy 8 at Randwick, non-runners galore.

Heavy 8 at Randwick, non-runners galore.

And hours and hours of rain on the way. Maybe this is the best weekend to be locked up inside (even if it appears it is for the foreseeable immediate future ).

And now Randwick abandoned

I think Randwick's heading out of the doldrums.

Possibly lockdown influence, Melbourne has just started its 5 day lockdown. Syndey's started three weeks ago. So Australia's two biggest cities have nothing else to do on a Saturday than sit at home and gamble (or read forum pages and watch Harry's Garage). I'm sure it is a factor in increaed volume.

Chalk and cheese between the Melbourne tracks (Flemington, Caulfield, Moonee Valley) and Sydney tracks in terms of track conditions. Despite much better weather, Sydney tracks are always heavy in winter.

What goes on in Sydney?? Does Randwick every get better than a soft 7 in winter?

Interesting Q on Monday's University Challenge....

Name the state of Australia that contains none of the following cities:
Gold Coast
Hobart
Bunbury
Adelaide
Bendigo
Perth
Ballarat
Melbourne
Brisbane

I wouldn't have known it from geography, but the names on that list are mighty familiar and I definately know what state I don't trade!
Buzz, guess, boom, quiz king of the sofa regains his crown.

Haha. I am glad V'landy's was of use to someone!

There is no racing in South Australia (Gawler) today. This is because of Covid lockdowns. It's fine to race in NSW and Victoria but not in SA?
