![]() It is in need of a makeover, but has a certain kind of charm to it. For my first time fooling with standardbreds I enjoyed it.

![]() Interesting to see this post re-surface. Still good to read about everyone's track experiences (some I never had the chance to visit). As some of you might know my list is rather extensive, so I won't re-post, but those interested in having a look can refer back to latest thread on this topic:http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...scanman&page=4 . My posts are #79 and #80.
I have added the following tracks since: United States Elko County Fair Great Falls High Hope Canada Desert Park Australia Ararat Park Cranbourne Dederang Drouin Echuca Gawler Geelong Hanging Rock Horsham Kyneton Park Mansfield Mornington Morphetteville Penola Sale Seymour Stony Creek Strathalbyn Terang Woolamai Wangaratta Yarra Valley If interested here's a couple of links about my journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmh...eature=youtu.be http://www.racingvictoria.net.au/ne...ng_odyssey.aspx http://www.osoyoostimes.com/florida...-his-done-list/ What's next this year - Santa Rosa, Ferndale, and the Ely County Fair. Unless, I can find something to do over the July 4th weekend. |

![]() 1. Your list is astounding but I'm wondering why none of the tracks in NZ are on it (yet?). 2. I can't access any of the links you posted! 3. Would love to hear about the tracks in Belgium some day! |

2- I must have copied the links incorrectly. I doubled checked them this time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmh8...ature=youtu.be https://www.racingvictoria.net.au/ne...g_odyssey.aspx http://www.osoyoostimes.com/florida-...his-done-list/ 3 - Belgium racing appears to be trying to make a bit of a resurgence with the re-opening of Oostende this year.. Groenendaal (very nice) and Sterrebeek (just okay) are now closed. Oostende is their nicest venue. The other is Ghlin. Apart from those two, Waregem gets one day a year when they run the Grand Steeple-Chase des Flandres. Last edited by scanman : 06-05-2014 at 02:18 PM. |

LOVED the video and enjoyed reading the links....am so happy to hear you'll be doing a book (I hope you will be kind enough to sign a copy!), You have a nice, easy going and likeable manner on camera... maybe after the book is completed you should think about pitching an idea (documentary) or raising funds and doing it yourself. Just a thought! Lastly whenever you do decide to go to NZ ed is the nicest guy... he's an owner and just got a job with The informant... I'm sure he'd be more than happy to answer any questions, etc. (You don't mind if I volunteer you, do you ed? ![]() Thank you again. ![]() |

![]() For some reason, the links won't post as I typed them. However, they did work the second time I posted them. If you still have trouble, let me know and I'll PM them to you.
