My idea is that there should be long distance races for the really old geldings that can't keep up in the 3000m races at Moonee Valley. Mostly run them in the winter months and make the weight scale a lot higher to cater for the heavier jockeys.
Perhaps to satisfy the bloodthirsty punters amongst us they could place a series of obstacles in the way; brick walls, fallen logs that sort of thing. Only a mug would bet on it but it could be good for its comical value.
Oh, sorry, Victoria have already thought of it. I'll have to think of something else equally as inane then.
