Rosehill (Sydney) and Eagle Farm (Brisbane) will be the top tracks. Townsville and Canberra will be somewhere in the middle. The rest are all bush tracks, which are low on emenities, but great "grass roots" racing fun. It'll be a nice bit of diversity, definitely looking forward to it.

Are you going up north for their summer racing (Gold Coast, e.g.)?

We were trying to make it over to Western Australia. I have a good friend who lives near Freemantle, but we couldn't make it work on this trip. It would be at Ascot (beautiful racecourse) during this time of the year.

Yeah, going up to Queensland. I noticed it did leave one track off, Sunshine Coast in Caloundra. Then there will be Townsville and a bush track about 5 1/2 hours north of there in Mareeba; Eagle Farm and Chinchilla in the Brisbane region.

Maybe I could put together a DT trip to Oz someday. Haven't been to any of the Victoria racecourses yet. There, you could probably go racing every day, different track, over a 2 week period. Last trip to Australia, I was able to do 15 tracks in 15 days in New South Wales.

Headed to FT. Myers for a few and thought, sans a rental car to go to Miami or Tampa...this place might be a way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Hope to see "Harold"with his new name at the Big A before the year is out.
Also the Big A (used to work there), Arlington and Keenland.

Been to the dog track in Tampa pretty fun. They simulcast most horse tracks there as well.
