Thats got to be the biggest show of 'Chairs' for years. Does it not ???

Has anybody worked out why, prize money ? etc etc. Nothing to do with national points either, that's great.

this is going to be 1 hell of a Fantastic Meeting that's for sure with some very close and nail biting racing to be seen. Great numbers of Aussie's coming over for it which is Awesome to see.
Lets hope Mother Nature can be on her best behaviour.

Bring it on.
