I'm not saying it's hard to achieve, however, I think it's easy to surmise from the publicly available information, particularly the betsy article, that any building a new tunnel would have implications on the primary use of Caulfield Racecourse Reserve.

That Betsy article is someone's agenda.

Could not be more full of 💩 if it tried....and it did try hard 😉

It's a fabricated stance.

Glad to see you know more than the rest of us

A problem for one may not be a problem for another, but a problem nevertheless in any negotiation.

Negotiations don’t generally get resolved by simply telling one side to ignore their concerns.

Unless you are a horticultural horse racing track expert, on the effect of tunnels being built under them and all of the possible effects to the structure and composition of the racing track above, maybe your suggestion that there is no problem in the minds of some experts in that specific area is the nonsense.

I say the above with the greatest respect to your technical expertise in the construction of tunnels.

I expect Caulfield to go ahead, but that doesn’t mean there are not genuine concerns of some, that need to be discussed and negotiated.

Over and out for the time being.

Back to celebrating our great win yesterday.

There are and they were built at times that suited racing to lose meeting at Caulfield, like at a time for regrassing the track and with other city tracks available to take the lost race meetings.

Note Moonee Valley is out of action for a while and Sandown is like a country track.

A lot of bad news for this fantastic venture down at the track.

Interest rates, warfare, petroleum pricing, we may certainly flush any estimates down the s bend.

Not taking into account the likely billion dollar cost of the tunnel, that wasn’t even part of the costed works.

Our Prime minister mentioned today that our Government will be clamping down on advertising regarding gambling and alcoholism that are a major part of the “sport”.

Interesting times we live in.

Betsy is a tipping site set up by Matt Welsh after he got the lemonade and sars from his short career at Racing Victoria. Prior to that he'd been a "form analyst" at racing.com.

I suspect they might have an agenda. What they don't have is influence. Very low subscription/ followers base.

Right that makes sense

I was wondering who was behind it
