Made it to Geelong the day after the new years meeting at Hanging Rock in 2014. It was kind of anti-climatic, as racing at the "Rock" was quite an experience.
Had an excellent day out at Geelong. Very quiet mid-week meeting. The staff were wonderful in providing me with an owner's badge for the day allowing me to mix it up with the owner's and trainer's. Even had a nice win punting.
This past March, I went racing at Colac (a very under utilized country racecourse). I'm sure you would have been there. Once again, the hospitality was fantastic. Had the chance to walk the course the following day. Quite a stiff run up the back straight that led to a quick downhill run to the home turn.
You are fortunate to have such an enjoyable array of racing venues in Victoria. I always look forward to returning. I still have all of the Melbourne city tracks to visit. Hopefully, they'll leave Sandown alone until I get there.
