Caulfield Cup, 20,000 at the
Cox Plate and 60,000 to each of the four days of the
Melbourne Cup carnival.
Moonee Valley chief Michael Browell and the
VRC’s boss Steve Rosich told Michael Felgate on RSN’s Racing Pulse this morning that they believe appropriate procedures to safeguard the public from COVID can be implemented to achieve their goals.

As yet there has been no individual or collective reaction from shell-shocked
Victoria to the latest and most galling attack from
New South Wales.
Mike Symons is right. Maybe Victorian racing administrators are afraid of
Peter V’landys; afraid of what he will do next because with V’landys there are no boundaries, no respect for the greater good, no rules of engagement.
As former
RSN927 yesterday, there is nothing V’landys
WON’T DO to hijack the
Melbourne spring carnival.
Maybe the polite powerbrokers of Victoria fear that by responding with vitriol and condemnation, the
