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:

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.

Three things...

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!

1 - New Zealand is at the top of my short list of countries that I haven't visited yet, but it's just not cost effective at this time. Primarily because it's difficult to put a lot of tracks together in the 3-4 week period of time that I would visit. During my last trip to Australia, I was able to visit 22 tracks in 27 days. Not so easy traveling throughout New Zealand because they bounce back an forth between the North and South Island.

2- I must have copied the links incorrectly. I doubled checked them this time.

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.

First off thanks so much for the rundown on the tracks in Belgium! I really appreciate it.

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.
