Apparently the first meeting for the 2005/06 season for the Geraldton Turf Club was a great success. Big crowd on course and the on course turnover (corresponding meeting last year) was up by over 100%

Must get up there one weekend and check it out!

Lindsay Smith maintaining his planned schedule with Plastered to run in this Saturday's Cathay Pacific Airways (Moonee Valley) Cup over 2500m.

Yep, as per schedule Modem but there's more riding on Plastered's performance next Sat than maybe originally planned.

Greg Childs is to ride (instead of the pontiff) so connections can get an 'independent' opinion of the horse’s fitness and how he's progressing.

If they're not happy after the run Plastered may miss the big one and run in the Sandown Classic (2400m Nov 12).

You should definitely make a point of attending one of their meets Modem. Very laid-back and pleasant atmosphere! And it's not all that far from Perth.

Can't recall if I tipped in this race? I'll have to go back through the posts and check!
