You are quite correct, just a shame some Sheffield fans can't let this vindictiveness against KL go, nothing to be jealous of Im sure, yes they are making a go of it, but thats not something to be jealous of, any promotion can do the same if they have the passion.

alan_boon 1 Posted September 2, 2007 Am I the only one surprised that today's riders can't ride a track with dirt on it? Only Adams seemed really at home in the early stages, perhaps because he's old enough to have ridden grippy tracks when racing wasn't about speed (although you'd expect Louis to do alright by that reasoning...)

Reading 1992 gold cup final you want to see it, ankle deep in muck!, and they raced on it as well on screen sport! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olympic Park is on the Mighty Murray River Floodplain, occasionally the river likes to go to the Races! http://www.pictures.libraries.vic.gov.au/s...vent/10151.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the difference between an Australian zoo and an English zoo? An Australian zoo has a description of the animal on the front of the cage along with a recipe.
