WEST ARRESTS FOR BIKIES GANG
■ Detectives from the Echo Taskforce arrested a patched member of the Coffin Cheaters Outlaw Motorcycle Gang and seized drugs and weapons following a series of warrants on Thursday, November 2, targeting the Coffin Cheaters OMCG. With assistance from the Special Operations Group, the VIPER Taskforce, the Dog Squad and the Hobsons Bay, Latrobe and Baw Baw Crime Investigation Units, early morning searches were conducted at four clubhouses in Dandenong, Braeside, Morwell and Warragul. During the searches, investigators seized a quantity of what appears to be cannabis and a pair of knuckle dusters. Three men were previously charged in relation to the investigation, including: ■ A 36-year-old Truganina man, who is a patched member of the OMCG, was charged with extortion, false imprisonment, assault, assault with a weapon and threats to injure. He was previously bailed from court to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on February 2. ■ A 31-year-old man from Armstrong Creek and a 27-year-old Cairnlea man were both charged with threat and assault related offences. The 31-year-old remains on remand, and the 27-year-old-man was bailed by Melbourne Magistrates’ Court. Both will appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on February 2. The charges follow several incidents in Laverton and Altona North last month. The first incident allegedly occurred on September 27 at a business premises in Laverton where a man was threatened and assaulted. The second incident allegedly occurred at the man’s business premises in Altona North on October 2 where an employee was threatened and assaulted following a minor traffic incident involving a company vehicle. The third incident allegedly occurred later that day on October 2 at the same Altona North premises where it’s believed a number of men were involved in an affray at the property. Two men were hospitalised as a result of this incident, with one sustaining life altering physical impediments.
■ The community is being encouraged to have its say on the future of the Footscray Hospital site and how it could be used when services move to the new state-of-the-art hospital in 2025. State Minister for Precincts Colin Brooks is seeking feedback before Wednesday, February 29.

The investigation into the incidents by Echo Taskforce and Hobsons Bay Crime Investigation Unit remains ongoing. A 68-year-old Dandenong man, a patched member of the Coffin Cheaters, was cautioned for drug possession. Detective Inspector Mick Daly, Echo Taskforce, said: “This kind of unacceptable violent behaviour from OMCGs is cowardly and it will not be tolerated. We will not allow our communities to be intimidated by these people. “If you are involved in organised criminal activity of any nature, rest assured, you will be held to account no matter where you are. It is as simple as that. “Organised crime entities living in rural parts of the state who think their distance from the city affords them anonymity or impunity – you are sadly mistaken. “It’s important for members of the community to understand that when incidents like these occur, Victoria Police will thoroughly investigate and hold those involved to account.”

■ There are to be reduced counter hours at a number of local Police stations. A Victoria Police statement describes the change as “temporary”, and insists that as many officers as possible will be diverted to frontline duties. Most of the changes will be at night when counters are rarely attended by the public. “As a result of these changes, officers formerly rostered on reception shifts will instead by used for frontline policing duties such as community patrols,” said a Police represenative. Avondale Heights, Flemington, Keilor Downs, Williamstown and Wyndham Vale counter hours reduce from 24 hours to 8 hours per day. Brunswick (Sun.-Wed.), Bacchus Marsh and Sunbury counter hours change from 24 hours to 16 hours. There will be no reception service at Clayton. Deputy Commissioner Neil Paterson said: “Make no mistake Victoria Police is not closing any police stations. “Reception counter hour reductions will occur predominantly during the evening or overnight when we know they are rarely attended. “Even when reception counters are unstaffed, police continue to patrol the local community and often, still work within the station.”
● Melissa Horne The State Government’s redevelopment of a stunning new pier in Altona is rapidly taking shape ahead of opening this summer. Melissa Horne, Minister for Ports and Freight, this month visited the site where construction on the 310-metre long structure is well advanced, with all piles in place from The Esplanade foreshore into Port Phillip Bay and decking installation underway. The $11.9 million redevelopment will deliver improved accessibility and safety features including lighting, handrails and an emergency vehicle turning bay. The pier’s precast concrete headstocks are almost all installed, with hardwood timber decking laid along much of the pier. Works are also progressing to demolish and safely remove the old pier suitable timber is being salvaged for reuse in the Altona Foreshore Redevelopment and other public projects.

■ New bigger, better trains have started taking passengers on the Sunbury Line ahead of schedule - in preparation for the opening of the Metro Tunnel. Two high cpacity Metro Trains have been introduced early on the Sunbury line after months of testing, to ensure services run smoothly and the new trains can operate seamlessly on the corridor when the Tunnel opens in 2025. The new trains will run on two morning peak services from Sunbury to Flinders Street Station every weekday, providing passengers with more space, improved safety and accessibility and real time information about their journey. Each new train is one carriage longer than the older models, with more accessibility features, equipped with 510 seat and capable of comfortably carrying 1100 passengers - 20 per cent more than any other train on the network. Sunbury MLA Josh Bull said: “We continue to deliver for the Sunbury community, and this is yet another step towards the Metro Tunnel opening a year ahead of schedule in 2025, running more trains more often on the Sunbury Line.”
■ Two teenagers have been charged after an extended follow in Point Cook. Police allege the pair were travelling in a stolen vehicle on Grassbird Drive about 12.20pm on Tuesday, October 31.

A 14-year-old Tarneit boy has been charged with theft of motor-vehicle and deal property suspected proceeds of crime. He will face a children’s court at a later date. A 19-year-old Wyndham Vale man has been charged with theft of motor-vehicle, fail to stop, driving unsupervised, knowingly deal with proceeds of crime and fail to answer bail. He will appear at Werribee Magistrates’ Court on November 28.
Nod to schools
Greens MP pushes 30kmh limit ■ Brunswick MLA Dr Tim Read (Greens) is pushing for more general use of a 30-kmh speed limit. This month in State Parliament, Dr Read urged the slower limit: “My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. “Research from Victoria and overseas shows that a local speed limit of 30 kilometres an hour allows motorists to get where they are going while keeping vulnerable road users safe. “Both the councils and the constituents in my electorate, supported by the TAC, Victoria Police and the World Health Organisation, all support lowering local road speed limits to 30 kilometres an hour where appropriate. “But Victoria’s speed zoning policy classifies 30
Local Briefs Point Cook follow
■ Essendon MLA Danny Pearson spoke in State Parliament this month to recognise students at local schools: “I rise to give a shoutout to all the year 12 students at Strathmore Secondary College, Lowther Hall, St Columba’s and Mount Alexander College, who are working tirelessly as we speak, working their way through their year 12 exams. “I want to particularly give a shout-out to Mount Alexander College, which is incredibly well led by Dani Angelico. “Mount Alexander College had a year 7 cohort intake of 27 students in 2015, and the school is going gangbusters thanks to a $26 million investment by the Andrews–Allan Labor Government. “Why this is important is that this school services the Flemington public housing estate. I spoke with the architect, and the architect wanted to make sure that there was a multi-level building and that the year 12 floor was at the top level so students could gaze out over the city and aspire to work in the city and have a job. “It is about making sure that children from a wide range of backgrounds can get to learn together and have a quality education at Mount Alexander College. “This builds on the investment the government is making when it comes to the Flemington community hub, when it comes to employment programs. “We have got new public housing that is being built down at Flemington, opposed by the Greens political party. We are going to rebuild the towers – again, opposed by the Greens political party, these frauds, cons, charlatans. They are a disgrace.”

Local Theatre Prisoner At The World’s End
■ La Mama presents Prisoner at the World’s End by R. Johns from November 15-26 at La Mama HQ, 203 Faraday St, Carlton. Prisoner at the World’s End is a Kafkaesque imagining arising out of the grim and grotesque circumstances of Julian Assange’s imprisonment. The play explores Assange’s predicament through the eyes of three very different women who work in a volunteer café at His Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh. Over the course of their day, as they work in a small room making sandwiches for inmates and visitors, they argue if Assange, the Australian in the High Security Unit is like the man in the parable, set upon by thieves, and left abandoned on a roadside until a Good Samaritan finds and helps him. Beneath their feet runs a Neolithic pathway. Does violent primitive justice and magical thinking still permeate the walls within England’s most notorious prison and justice system? Prisoner at the World’s End was inspired by playwright R. Johns hearing Assange’s lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, speak at La Mama Courthouse 2022 at the ‘Day of the Imprisoned Writer’ hosted by PEN (worldwide association of Poets, Playwrights, Editors, Novelists), where she was interviewed by Barrie Cassidy, talking about Julian Assange’s plight and the terrible physical conditions of Belmarsh Prison. Johns says: “Imprisoned in solitary, at the behest of a foreign government, while they wait for Assange’s extradition for truth telling makes his contemporary situation Kafkaesque having already spent seven years inside the Ecuadorian embassy. “I read in an interview, Assange’s favourite part of Anna Karenina was when the dogs talk, revealing the irrationality of their owners .This guided the incorporation of a scene in this play where cats talk, revealing the irrationality of political decision making.” Johns is known for creating political work that isn’t afraid to take risks: 2017’s Black Box 149, State Theatre of Nuremberg, where she was their first produced Australian playwright. She was also nominated for an AWGIE in 2016 with World War One story As Told By The Boys Who Fed Me Apples. Prisoner at the World’s End will also be livestreamed on Friday, November at 7.30pm.The livestream playback will be available for 72 hours after the show.

What’s On Tarantella Festival
■ The Segmento Tarantella Festival for this year got off to a wonderful start at its official launch at the CO.AS.IT centre in Carlton. Only the second such festival to be held, with the inaugural one held last year, it has been expanded to include a range of different activities and events through November to early December and at various venues around the state. The launch started with a presentation by Dr Giovanni Butera, representing the Segmento Foundation, who explained some of the history of Tarantella music and its roots in ancient Southern Italy, modern day Calabria in particular, but also other parts of Italy and indeed Greece also. The presentation was a fascinating insight into this style of traditional music, full of interesting information delivered with panache and wit. The presentation included an introduction to several of the instruments used in tarantella: tambourine; Calabrian lyra; zampogna, a double chantered bagpipe; and organetto, a small diatonic button accordion. Giovanni first gave some history and background to each instrument, talking to and often translating for the virtuoso whose instrument was being discussed; then the musician played their instrument live to the audience. Several of the musicians had almost literally stepped off the plane from Italy, so bravo to what were some sterling passionate performances. There was even a lively dance performance demonstrating traditional Tarantella dancing. The fantastic musicians who had recently arrived in Melbourne included: Ciccio Nucera on organetto; Davis Muccari on zampogna; Gabriele Gnawa Macri on Calabrian lyra; and Maddalena Grosso, Ciccio’s dance partner. Aiming to be a “project for unity, inclusivity and mutual respect” if the captivating and entertaining launch is anything to go by then there’s no doubt that this year’s festival is destined to be a marvellous success. Highly recommended. Opening night for the Tarantella Festival will be November 17 at Darebin Arts Centre. Free Entry. Chantered bagpipe A Tarantella Festival Free Event will also be held in Shepparton on November 19 at Shepparton Showground. https:// www.segmentotarantellafestival.com.au/ events/festival-shepparton The Tarantella Festival Free Event in Reservoir is on November 25 at Edwardes Lake Park, Reservoir. www.segmentotarantellafestival.com.au/ events/festival-reservoir - Review by Peter Murphy
THE WAITING ROOM AT BUTTERFLY CLUB
■ As part of the Butterfly Club’s bold initiative, Monologue Festival, The Waiting Room saw five women, with the end of the world nigh, arguing the toss with the Grim Reaper as to who may enter through the pearly gates as opposed to facing a life of eternal damnation in the pits of hell. The five monologues were written mostly by the performers themselves with the one exception being a monologue written by the dramaturg Tuia Suter: so the credited writers, apart from Suter, were Elyse Batson, Fiona Crombie, Amelia Dunn and Laura Knaggs. Overall the writing was impressive. A monologue by its very nature is quite a difficult act to pull off as there is no to-and-fro between separate individual characters. Therefore the dramatic tension is mostly an internal one, albeit projected externally which, in this case, was onto the Grim Reaper. These internal dialogues showed great power and craft in the writing, convincingly portraying each individual as they grappled with their inner demons in attempting to avoid a fate of eternal damnation. Performances of the five monologues were done by Batson, Crombie, Dunn, Knaggs and Delaram Ahmadi, with Rory Harman being the sole male who played the Grim Reaper. Apart from the opening monologue, which was a little too repetitive and monotonous, each performer showed great skill in bringing nuance and a dynamic telling of their individual character’s narrative. Directed by Ellen O’Connor, with Tuia Suter acting as dramaturg, the shape and pitch of each of the five monologues was impressive, with transitions between the five performers achieved smoothly. Any reservations about each monologue was mainly to do with the script itself rather than the direction or the performance. Overall then, it was a great pity that this particular show had such a short season and it is to be hoped that more can be seen of The Waiting Room at some time in the not-too-distant future. - Review by Peter Murphy

Audiences will bear witness to raw expression of vulnerability and strength as they each take turns to commandeer the spotlight. The individual acts will be woven together with projection, live-feeds of backstage, and audio overlay of students sharing glimpses of their lives beyond the spotlight. James Brown, Head of Circus Studies, NICA, said: “These students have sold-out shows throughout their time at NICA, repeatedly demonstrating the versatility of their talents across theatrical comedy, dance sophistication and contemporary circus.

● Cover of the book No Country for Idealists: The Making of a Family of Subversives by Boris Frankel. ■ The publication No Country for Idealists: The Making of a Family of Subversives by Boris Frankel will be launched on Tuesday, November 28 at 6pm for a 6.30pm start at Readings in Acland St, St Kilda. The book to be launched by Jeff Sparrow, with an introduction by Carmel Shute, is a dramatic account of the making of a family of ‘subversives’ who went from Australia to the USSR during the Cold War and struggled for seven years to return to Melbourne. The book could be regarded as a chronicle of love and courage in the face of concerted opposition by both the Menzies Government and the Soviet dictatorship. This story of idealism, illusions and resistance covers from political activism in Australia to interrogation, isolation and arrest in Russia. Boris Frankel is the author of many books on Australian and global politics, culture, economics and environment. Also regarded as a 'social critic', his articles and commentary have appeared in leading Australian print and electronic media, and his work has been translated into many languages.

Observations Ringside
● Rod Willis ■ Famed Australian bands Cold Chisel, The Angels and Icehouse are household names, but what about the people behind their success, whose names are unknown but without whom these bands would not have achieved their fame? Enter Rod Willis, music manager to some of the greatest forces in Australian music history, who has just published a memoir of his life called Ringside. Rod’s story charts his journey from an 18year-old surfer from the northern beaches to a life-long career in the international music industry. Rod has travelled all across the world in search of ground-breaking music, and he remembers all the crazy experiences he has had along the way. At 18, Rod Willis jumped on a boat for London, the Mecca for music and fashion in the 1960s. Fast forward 10 years, and after working in the US and Europe with bands like Fleetwood Mac, he returned to Australia. A burning desire to find an act he could take to the top led him to an unknown band called Cold Chisel, who were in need of a manager. That led to a 30-year long relationship establishing Cold Chisel as one of the most iconic and unique Australian talents. Rod also founded the trailblazing Dirty Pool Management Agency, which represented Cold Chisel, the Angels and Icehouse. Ringside takes you behind the doors of the studios and beer barns that were the breeding grounds for bands like Cold Chisel, revealing how Cold Chisel became the biggest band in Australia. During Rod’s 50-year wild ride, he encountered everything from the Beatles, notorious groupies and mobsters to music industry legends, and the creation of music legends who have become an integral part of the great Australian song book. So if you want to find out the story behind the big names, Ringside is the book for you. For more details on Ringside by Rod Willis, head to allenandunwin.com - Julie Houghton

More capacity for local rail ■ Pascoe Vale MLA Anthony Cianflone spoke in State Parliament this month about local transport projects. “Some highlight projects I would like to draw the house’s attention to include the construction of the game-changing Metro rail tunnel, which will provide for increased capacity on the Upfield and Craigieburn rail lines; the removal of the four dangerous level crossings along the Upfield line via Coburg at Moreland Rd, Reynard St , Munro St and Bell St, which have been accompanied by a world-class active transport, cycling, walking and openspace corridor; the construction of two new landmark train stations at Moreland and Coburg stations, which when combined with the level crossings are the catalyst for the revitalisation of central Coburg and the Upfield and Sydney Rd corridors; improved tram services along route 1 on Nicholson St, route 19 on Sydney Rd and route 58 on Melville Rd, including through the introduction of lowfloor and accessible trams; as well as the recent new and improved timetabling for tram routes 1 and 58, with services to be boosted on Friday nights with a tram every 15 minutes until 10 pm to make it easier for residents and workers to access the CBD. “The release of the Victorian Government’s new Melbourne’s Tram Plan will also help pro-

Local Briefs Roxy United nod
■ Greenvale MLA Iwan Walters this month spoke in State Parliament about a local soccer club. “Congratulations to all players, coaches, volunteers and generous sponsors of Roxburgh Park United Soccer Club. “It was wonderful to be with the club community last Friday to celebrate another successful season. “I want to particularly acknowledge the outstanding service and leadership of Ayad and Dunia Botres, who work tirelessly to provide opportunities for young people at Roxy United. “This was deservedly recognised with Hume City Council’s 2023 sport and recreation community achievement award at a special ceremony I was delighted to attend.”
Multi-cultural area
■ Broadmeadows MLA Kathleen Matthews-Ward says some people are using the Middle East conflict to amplify hate speech. “This will not be tolerated. I am proud to live in a country where such hateful displays are prohibited and where every person has the same rights and can accept to be treated fairly and with dignity and respect,” Ms Matthews-Ward said. “I am so proud to live in the electorate of Broadmeadows, where I am reminded every day that multiculturalism is worth protecting and worth fighting for, where people from all over the world celebrated together at the Fawkner Festival on Sunday and at least 20 different ethnic groups were sharing barbecues and playgrounds peacefully at Jack Roper Reserve. “At the Hume Central Secondary College year 12 graduation you could hear both the haka and the zalget as the students’ achievements were celebrated. “I am so grateful to all of the community leaders who work hard every day to celebrate our diverse city and safeguard our communities from division and hate,” Ms MatthewsWard said.

The artwork was commissioned as part of the broader public realm works at the Boathouse apartments, in partnership with Maribyrnong City Council. Maribyrnong Mayor Cr Sarah Carter said the stunning large-scale permanent sculpture stands as a dynamic gateway marker to the City. ● The North-West Edition covers Brimbank, Hobsons Bay, Hume, Maribyrnong, Melton, Merri-bek, Moonee Ponds, Moorabool and Wyndham municipalities.

SIBELIUS AND PROKOFIEV ■ In an enjoyable evening of music, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s Hamer Hall concert Sibelius and Prokofiev: Love and Resistance had some stirring solo performances, but the program of works overall felt a little light on in terms of satisfaction level. The evening consisted of three main works: Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony; Elena Kats-Chernin’s Sarenka Concerto: for Solo Violin and Solo Violoncello (a premiere, commissioned by the Weis Family in memory of Sara Weis); and Sibelius’ Symphony No.1. Taking each in turn, the Prokofiev symphony was the charming divertissement the composer intended. Written in the midst of the Russian revolution, Prokofiev deliberately went against the prevailing mood of the time for emotionally charged symphonies, choosing instead to provide an experience more light-hearted and less angst ridden. However, while achieving this intention, as a consequence the piece felt slight and easily forgotten. The second work, the world premiere of the Sarenka Concerto, was a mixed blessing. While it sought to honour and commemorate the life of Sara Weis, it was an uneven piece. Fragmentary in nature, it was only intermittently successful in giving a sense of an extraordinarily courageous woman’s life and her achievements. However, both soloists, Dale Barltrop on violin and Rachael Tobin on cello, gave passionate and spirited performances. The final work of the evening, Sibelius’ Symphony No.1, came after the interval and was the highlight of the evening. Here the potential power of the orchestra to illuminate and portray strong feelings was given full rein, with the symphony’s stirring melodies and grand themes representing a protest at Finland’s (then) Russian masters. Under the assured guidance of the visiting French conductor Chloé van Soeterstède performances of the three works were hard to fault. Throughout the night the orchestra gave its usual strong showing, while the two concerto soloists stood out. Finally then, a somewhat odd collection of works which unfortunately never fully satisfied. - Review by Peter Murphy
BBC Earth Experience
■ Surrounded by images projected onto colossal screens and accompanied by the mellifluous tones of Sir David Attenborough, the BBC Earth Experience carries its audience away to the far-off lands of all seven continents. We swoop through deserts, tundra, rainforests, and more, coming faceto-giant face with incredible wildlife.
A raised viewing platform and a massive, angled screen produce a feeling of vertigo as I soar high above European forests and snowfields. Encircled by gargantuan Thorny Devils and Blue-Tongue Lizards, it’s easy to think I’ve fallen into the weird and wonderful set of the 1959 version of Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Interactive screens prove a great success with the littlies. In an underwater reef, waving your arms will direct fish, even causing schools to disappear into hiding spots when the small waving arms become too vigorous. Around 1500 crew working on 92 shoots in 41 countries created the spectacular scenes on show. I came away having gleaned some amazing facts. For example, Peru’s Humboldt penguin builds its nest exclusively from guano. Did you know that Asia has the greatest density of active volcanoes worldwide? Or that the Andes mountains rise almost vertically on their southern tip. Or that the prediction is that next century, Africa will have warmed twice as fast as this century, making it virtually uninhabitable for humans, animals, and plant life. As the crowd files through the last exhibit to the gift shop, with a beautiful, spinning Earth set among twinkling stars, Attenborough, the world’s premier environmental activist, implores us to heed his warning that “if we damage the natural world, we damage ourselves” and do as much as we can to save this wonderful planet “for us all”.

Zone of Interest
■ Classic, Lido and Ritz Cinemas and the Jewish International Film Festival are presenting the Australian
premiere of master director Jonathan Glazer's acclaimed The Zone of Interest for special centrepiece screenings at the festival. This provocative and unflinching new drama, which won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, follows an Auschwitz commander, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, as they strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the concentration camp. JIFF's Artistic Director, Eddie Tamir said, “The Holocaust has become a recognised film genre, and while some might wonder about the continued focus on this era, both Jewish and non-Jewish filmmakers see it as an avenue to explore deep, universal human themes. These films serve as reminders of history, resonate with contemporary global events, and tap into universal human experiences.” Variety called The Zone of Interest "a remarkable film — chilling and profound, meditative and immersive, a movie that holds human darkness up to the light and examines it as if under a microscope." The Zone of Interest screens on Sunday, November 19, 3pm arrivals for a 3:15pm screening. All tickets include a glass of wine on arrival.

Rourke’s Reviews Killers of the Flower Moon
■ (MA). 206 minutes. Now showing in cinemas. Legendary director Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull, Mean Streets, Goodfellas) returns to the big screen with this epic adaptation of David Grann’s best-selling novel, and proves once again why he is regarded as one of the greatest film-makers of the post-WWII era. Set in the early 1920s, Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Ernest Burkhart, who returns from the war to work for his successful uncle, William Hale (Robert De Niro), in the town of Gray Horse, Oklahoma. The oil rich area is owned by the Osage, native Americans who were pushed out of their homelands to this seemingly barren area, only to strike it lucky, discovering the huge deposits of black gold. With white settlers wanting a piece of the action, including the ruthless Hale, the Osage community suddenly start to see their numbers dwindle, murdered for the riches they own. No-one seems to know this more than Mollie (Lily Gladstone), whose sisters and mother pass away in unnatural fashion, and slowly seems to think that some close to her are putting her life at risk, possibly even her husband Ernest. The film is long, but totally worthwhile, and is richly rewarding for those who want to immerse themselves in a tragic, shameful time in American history. The screenplay by Eric Roth and Scorsese gives the subject plenty of scope, while allowing audiences to see the unfurling horror through individual eyes (the Tulsa massacre and the KKK are eerily mentioned too). Scorsese then gifts his cast the chance to fully bring their characters to life, making the material all-the-more compelling. Given the production’s massive budget (a reported $200 million), I can understand why the bankable stars had to be put front-and-centre, but, my one quibble is that I wish the Osage characters were as prominent in the early sections of the film as the white characters, so when they begin to be systematically exterminated, audiences can see them openly disappearing from view as the story plays out (it is still unsettling seeing them slowly vanish from the frame). Typically for a Scorsese film, the production is a technical marvel, with outstanding cinematography, scoring, sound and editing, while costume and production design is meticulous. Killers Of The Flower Moon reminded me of Michael Cimino’s unfairly maligned Heaven’s Gate, with its in-
credible period detail, and a look at the oppressive greed of whites in power, willing to kill an entire race of people to get what they want. Expect this to garner many nominations at next year’s Oscars. RATING - ****½
Five Nights At Freddy’s
■ (M). 110 minutes. Now playing in cinemas. A dull, overlong film adaptation of the hugely popular video game, this unfortunately approaches the material in a way to expertly optimise maximum youthful ticket sales rather than create something that best utilises its simple but potentially fun plot, where a troubled security guard (Josh Hutcherson) gets more than he bargained for when he has to work at the run-down Freddy’s Fazbear’s Pizza, a once popular haunt for families. Weirdly takes almost 45 minutes before the first set-piece involving the killer robots occurs. Up until then, it is a routine, poorly realised custody drama, which is not what audiences have come to see. Highly reminiscent of the 2021 horror/comedy Willy’s Wonderland, starring Nicolas Cage (which admittedly, was obviously inspired by the Freddy’s game), with location and interior production design looking strikingly similar. Unfortunately, Hutcherson is no Cage, delivering a one-note performance. The deliberately jokey casting of a certain role also makes the identity of the villain very easy to pick. Lacks energy and genuine imagination, and deserved a more outrageous presentation, along with a tighter edit. RATING - **
Quiz Lady
■ (M). 100 minutes. Now available on Disney+. A potentially fun and breezy comedy instead becomes a viewing chore, wallowing in contrivances and cliches that sees two talented actors unable to rise above a substandard script. The first half, seeing two sisters (Sandra Oh and Awkwafina) trying to mend old wounds while on a road trip to a quiz show audition, is okay, allowing Oh and Awkwafina to create some kind of chemistry, but the second half is awful, as the story is stuffed with every formulaic plot turn you can think of. Jason Schwartzman is completely wasted as the current quiz champion. Whatever enjoyment you get from Quiz Lady, is due to the fine, comedic talents of its two stars. RATING - ** - Aaron Rourke

■ I have no hesitation in saying that I am a huge fan of the films of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. They starred together in film operettas and over the years their love for each other was the subject of many articles in the press. Jeanette MacDonald was born in Philadelphia in 1903. She was the youngest of three daughters. Her eldest sister Edith became an actress also and was known as Blossom Rock - she is well known for her role as ‘Grandmama’ in The Addams Family. Jeanette learnt to sing and dance at an early age. In 1919 she began working in Broadway shows and over the next 10 years gradually worked her way up to lead roles in musicals and plays. Jeanette was cast in her first leading role in the film The Love Parade in 1929 and her co-star was Maurice Chevalier. The two songs she sang in the film, Dream Lover and March Of The Grenadiers, were recorded by His Masters Voice and became very popular throughout the world. Jeanette was a very busy film star in the early 1930s and made another three films opposite Maurice Chevalier. Nelson Eddy was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1901 and was two years older than Jeanette. Nelson Eddy was an established opera singer before the young baritone was cast opposite
Whatever Happened To ... Jeanette McDonald& NelsonEddy By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM Jeanette MacDonald in their first film Naughty Marietta in 1935. I have heard a radio interview with Nelson where he described the first time they met and her beauty "took his breath away". Together they introduced songs such as Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life, I'm Falling In Love With Someone, Neath The Southern Moon and Tramp, Tramp, Tramp. Naughty Marietta won an Oscar for sound recording and received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. The next film for Jeanette was San Francisco with Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy but the public wanted more of the new singing team and in 1936 Jeanette and Nelson reunited
for Rose Marie. The film was based on the stage musical but their interpretation of the characters and the song Indian Love Call, which hit one million sales in 1959, was just amazing. They made another six films together Maytime, Sweethearts, Girl Of The Golden West, New Moon, Bittersweet and I MarriedAn Angel. Jeanette married the famous actor and composer, Gene Raymond in 1937. In 1939, Nelson married Ann Denitz Franklin and they established a home in Brentwood, California. Jeanette left films in 1949 and concentrated on concert tours, radio appearances and recordings. Nelson and Jeanette both went their separate ways but did reunite for television shows including the This Is Your Life surprise show for Jeanette. Nelson Eddy toured with the singer Gale Sherwood and came to Australia for four tours. In their first Australian show in 1962 the season at Chequers Nightclub in Sydney was a sell out and extended by two weeks. Nelson Eddy also appeared at the Tivoli Theatre in Melbourne. Jeanette had a weak heart and finally died in 1965. On her deathbed Jeanette was half con-
scious and asked her husband Gene Raymond to rub her feet. Gene knew that Nelson was the only one she would ask to rub her feet and as she whispered her final words "I love you", he knew that she thought it was Nelson in the room with her. Gene whispered back, "I love you too" she smiled and passed on at that moment. When Gene told Nelson what had happened he was inconsolable. Such was the love they shared but for some reason they never married. Nelson Eddy died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1967 during his night club act at the Sans Souci Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. There is a Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy Appreciation Society in Melbourne and I had the great pleasure of being invited to a past meeting. Most of the members have fond memories of meeting Nelson when he toured Australia and spoke of his kindness and attention to his fans. Thank goodness we can still enjoy their films and recordings from the golden days of Hollywood.

At Heide
■ Heide Museum of Modern Art has unveiled a major survey exhibition of ground-breaking 20th century American photographic artist Lee Miller (1907–1977), presented to February 25. Curated by Miller’s son Antony Penrose, the exhibition Surrealist Lee Miller brings 100 photographs from across the artist’s remarkable oeuvre to Australia. A Surrealist before the movement had a name, Lee Miller was one of the most original photographic artists of the twentieth century. Defying the expectations placed on her as a woman and an artist, she was as unconventional in her life as in her work. The exhibition Surrealist Lee Miller reveals how Miller captured the intensity of her experiences in unforgettable images spanning a remarkably broad oeuvre: from portrait, fashion and surrealist photography in New York and Paris, to landscape and architecture, coverage of the horrors of the Second World War, and the extraordinary world of her creative circle.

MELBOURNE FAREWELLS RON BARASSI ■ Hi everyone, from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites comes this week's news.
Out and About
Vale Ron Barassi
$70 mil. restoration
■ Footy greats and fans flocked to the MCG last Fridaty (Nov. 10) to farewell Ron Barassi, the single biggest figure in post-war Australian Football history who died on September 16 aged 87 from complications after a fall. He was remembered as the "ultimate competitor" but also a kind, caring and gentle man by football identities, politicians, family, friends and supporters. Among a crowd of about 5000 were football figures Leigh Matthews, Kevin Sheedy, Alastair Clarkson, David Parkin, Max Gawn, Nathan Jones, Dillon and predecessor Gillon McLachlan. Barassi made an impact away from the footy field, too. On New Year's Day in 2009, he went to the aid of a woman being attacked in the street by a group of men who then turned on the football legend, leaving him with serious head injuries. He received a bravery award for his heroics in 2012. Ron also met up with international politicians and actors.
Studios reach deal
■ Actors can return to work while union members move to ratify SAG-AFTRA has reached a tentative deal with Hollywood studios and streamers, officially bringing an end to a strike that lasted 118 days. Representatives of the union and of the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) spent the week in marathon sessions, concluding the negotiations and officially ending the strike. "In a contract valued at over $1 billion, we have achieved a deal of extraordinary scope that includes 'above-pattern' minimum compensation increases, unprecedented provisions for consent and compensation that will protect members from the threat of AI and for the first time establishes a streaming participation bonus." Other benefits include a raise in pension and health caps and compensation increases for background performers, as well as "critical contract provisions protecting diverse communities." On Nov. 6, SAG-AFTRA told members that it was reviewing the studios' "last, best, and final" offer. It added that deliberations would continue well into Monday and they'd "keep you members updated." The latest offer was said to include offers on artificial intelligence, wage increases, and a success-based streaming bonus, deviating from the revenue share the union initially wanted. A month earlier, negotiations looked grim. In the wake of the writer’s strike's end on Sep. 27, the two parties returned to the table on Oct. 2 for the first time in two and a half months. However, despite the WGA's recent compromise, no one went in "overly confident or assuming it’s going to be easier because the writers have made their deal,” The two parties went to the table again on Oct. 11, only to encounter more complications: the latest stretch of negotiations was put on pause, with both being far from agreeing on issues. “It is clear that the gap between the AMPTP and SAGAFTRA is too great, and conversations are no longer moving us in a productive direction,” an AMPTP statement said at the time. After the expiration of their contract on June 30 and elongating negotiations by two weeks, the 160,000-member union agreed to strike on July 14. The decision notably came during a peak promotion timeline for both of the summer's biggest hits, Greta Gerwig's Barbie and Christopher Nolan Oppenheimer. During a film premiere for the latter, cast members Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh and Matt Damon, among others, abruptly left to "go and write their picket signs,” Nolan said. Members across the pond had already beat them to it, joining the WGA on the picket lines who, at the time, had been picketing for two months. Since then, sidewalks outside of studio gates and headquarters have been peppered with protestors, demanding a fair contract. The issues in question included wages, health care coverage, and, of course, artificial intelligence. The new agreement addresses their concerns, most pressingly the use of AI in future creative endeavors. The AMPTP modified its language concerning artificial intelligence. SAG-AFTRA shared on social media that a 10-hour deliberation followed with the aim of meeting again. Members of SAG-AFTRA still need to ratify the deal but actors can return to work.

■ Netflix has revived the Ancient Egyptian Theatre. “This is how I always imagined it," says Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos while showing off the glamorous "rewind rehab" that cost the streamer $70 million. Netflix cracked open the ancient environs of the Egyptian Theatre for a preview tour that highlighted their $70 million restoration of the Hollywood landmark. This “rewind rehab” attempts to bring the movie palace closer to its original appearance than the 1998 renovation by the American Cinematheque. Gone are the Clinton-era balcony, interior screen baffles, and lobby mini cinema. The new layout, which will be programmed by both the Cinematheque and Netflix, optimises the venue for parties and receptions. The lobby is vastly expanded, and a row of previously unused courtyard shops now houses restrooms, back of house space, and a new Netflix store filled with merch from cult favorite shows Squid Game and Stranger Things. Restoration architect Peyton Hall, who also worked on the original Cinematheque renovations, had a much bigger budget to work with under Netflix and was able to address structural and functional issues that the non-profit could not afford the first time around. A ton of new infrastructure is hidden inside the 101-yearold walls, which had started to leak a quarter century after their last renovation. The restoration is top notch and every surface inside has the heft and luxury you would see in a private studio screening room. Sumptuous seating with ample legroom abounds, capacity was reduced to 516, about 100 less than the previous configuration and the projection was as sharp and powerful as the best theaters in the city. Plus, the popcorn was pretty good. The American Cinematheque, which is also at the Los Feliz 3 and the Aero in Santa Monica, will program weekends, starting with My Fair Lady and other big screen epics in the Ultra 70mm Fest, and Netflix films will be shown on weekdays, as the streamer does at the Bay Theatre in Pacific Palisades and the Paris in New York. Bradley Cooper’s The Maestro runs Nov. 22 to Dec. 7 and Wes Anderson's short The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar will screen with additional shorts chosen by the director.
Work at a bar
■ A US writer records: “Three lessons I learned from working at and owning a college bar that helped me become a successful television writer.” “All the awesome things that are happening to me right now are because I worked in a bar. I was a bartender in Syracuse, New York. Now I’m a TV-movie comedy writer and published author in Hollywood, California. No joke. And if I can do it, you can too. “Yes, I’m talking to you the person who lives in a studio apartment on, maybe Cochran, with no money, car or comfort of any kind. Worst of all no hope AC is a close second. “Your hopelessness is about to change. And just like a bartender working a packed bar, I’m going to move superfast! I needed a job when I was a student at Syracuse University. I got one. As a barback in a college bar. In Hollywoodtalk, that’s like a bartender’s PA. It’s not what I wanted, but I was grateful to be let in the door. Lesson #1: Be grateful. I was always early, never complained, and I worked harder than anybody. As some movie directors advise, “Sand the underside of the drawers.” That means that even the parts of the proverbial drawer that people don’t see need to be perfect. Lesson #2: Work harder than anybody. When the hot-shot head bartender let his ego get in the way and got the owner of the bar mad one night, you want to guess who had every drink recipe memorized and was ready to fill in? Lesson #3: Be prepared. Success = opportunity + The lessons that I learned as a bartender, helped me buy that very college bar while I was still a student. And I bought a second bar in my senior year of college! It was a much bigger establishment. Which came with bigger and bigger problems aka lessons. And more and more money. And do you know what having some money (fancy house with AC, car and comfort) at around 21 years old taught me? Money didn’t make me happy.”

TUSSLE FOR ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS
■ The unbeaten filly Sky Bird, prepared by young Ballarat trainer, is the one that punters have come for to win the last of the top fillies races to be run. Sky Bird at her last start beat a good field to winning running away at Moonee Valley back on Cox Plate Day. The daughter of Exosphere has shown she is the goods at all of her three wins, and shouldn’t have any trouble in getting the 1600 metres of the One Thousand Guineas come Saturday (Nov. 18). The Oaks put paid to everything else coming up, the way Zardozi, the brilliant James Cummings filly won the Oaks. She would win this race too like she won the Oaks. The way she accelerated blew every one away. Look out big races come the new year, here she comes. Another smart filly is the Mike Moroney trained Coeur Volante, made it three wins from her five starts with a good win over 1400 metres. She is by the top sprinting entire, Proisir, but should get the 1600 metres trip without any worries. On the next line is another smart type being by I Am Invincible, Commemorative, and the stable has a big opinion of her. In my opinion her run on Cup Day was ordinary. Another filly that is excepted to fire here is Arctic Glamour, although disappointing at her last outing when she missed the placing as the favourite in the Invitation event at Randwick over this distance. She is much better than that. I would give her another chance. A situation that tricks me a bit concerns a top filly in Tiz Invincible, smart , who is one the best fillies racing in Sydney, at one stage had won three races on end. Prepared by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, admittedly over sprint distances, but now moving up to the 1600 metres. But for mine, there is plenty of petrol in the tank, forget the run in the Coolmore, they were just too quick and too fast for her. One that I really like is the Gai WaterhouseAdrian Bott trained filly, Tropical Squall who is well suited here over the 1600 metre trip. She ran a good second to Autumn Angel in the Ethereal Stakes on Caulfield Cup over 2000 metres, maybe better suited coming back to 1600 metres. The one to beat is Zardozi, who ran a great second to Amazion Lass in the Wakeful Stakes over 2000 metres on Derby Day. She went around in the Oaks, and then possibly in the One Thousand Guineas here.
● James Cummings.Racing Photos. metres, as was a star field of sprinters at Flemington. The smart mare, Chain of Lightning, is good on her day, and has been tackling the best. At Flemington on Derby Day she contested the Rising Fast Stakes up the straight six-track, but had no luck in the run, being squeezed up in the final stages when trying to get a run. Go on her form before that, when she ran a terrific third behind the flying mare, Asfoora, one of the fastest horses racing. One you have to follow,she has plenty of talent. Another good mare is Ruthless Dame, prepared by the Ciaron Maher-David Eustace combination. She is a classic winner, and has been racing well, it would pay to forget that unplaced run in the Golden Eagle it was one of the best fields to go around this year.

Vale Terry Finger
■ Former top lightweight rider Terry Finger has left us. In his riding days he rode many a good horse especially for the Eric Broadhurst team. One horse that automatically comes to mind is the quick Scotch and Whisky. His brother Peter also rode at a out the same time booting home a winner or along with brother Terry. Our sympathy to the family.
Looking for a Professional to run the show?
Clarke Stakes
■ The Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes always attracts a good field and judging by early nominations for the big race on November 18, nothing has changed. Neds Bookmakers have put the New South Wales mare, Magic Time, on top for the Graeme Begg team, after her good win in the Nivision race over 1200 metres back on October 7. That was her second run after a spell and she did it in fine style.
The James Cummings trained Golden Mile has been racing against the best, and its run in the Golden Eagle over 1500 metres at Rosehill was terrific. He has been racing among the best for sometime and always gives of his best. The Nick Ryan trained Munhamek ran a good race when he finished hard to run third behind Cause for Concern in the Damien Oliver event. However, I feel the class here may be against him, but he tries his heart out. Buenos Notches has been competing against the best, but is finding it tough going. He ran into possibly the best sprinter in the world in Imperatriz, in the Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate. The consistent Airman, with the powerful Hawkes stables, won in the fine style when beat the smart sprinter, Wategos, at Randwick on September 30, but up in class here. The barrier beat Ayrton, prepared by Mick Fox and Michael Kent Junior on Derby Day. He got the visitor’s draw no. 17, the outside of all the runners, and was never in it. He showed form at his previous outing, winning at Caulfield. The consistent galloper, Cause for Concern, won the race well, and always puts in. The consistent Buffalo River, came back to his best in the Moonga Stakes on Caulfield Cup Day, but they still may have his measure here. I like Magic Time, Chain of Lightning, Steparty and Golden Mile.
On the second line is the smart colt, Steparty, who was down to run in the Coolmore Stakes up the straight over 1200 metres, but was a late scratching. He will be better suited here over the 1400

Driven by 24Y0 son Blake who has chalked up over 280 winners to date, Rock The Nation (gate five) after trailing pacemaker the fellow NSW hope Dressed In Gold (gate three), used the sprint lane to register a head margin over Shaq from a mile back, with Dressed In Gold holding third .8 metres back. The mile rate 154.4. ■ Nanneella trainer Col Goddeen only recently back from a Queensland campaign, landed the Pat Barrett Motors Pace over 2170 metres with more than handy 7Y0 McArdle-Elegant Outlook mare Ajay Breezy Rose who had won 17 races from 120 starts going into the race. Driven by Josh Duggan, Ajay Breezy Rose was always handy from outside the front line one/one and when taken four wide on the final bend, ran home strongly to blouse a death-seating Mongiana by a neck in 1-57.7. Chubby Chequer flashed home late out wide from last on the markers for third a half neck away. ■ At Terang, Peter Manning and Jason Ainsworth had the honors of winning the first race on the program – the Welcome Back To Terang Pace over 1680 metres when $31.00 outsider Kidd Altro scored. Settling a mile back from gate three on the second line after polemarker Bayside Victory held the front, Kidd Altro coming off a three wide double trail in the last lap made the home turn five and six wide before motoring to the wire to prevail by 7.7 metres from Icanmotor along the sprint lane off the back of the leader with Bayside Victory holding third a neck way. The mile rate 1-56.6. A three year old gelding by Sunshine Beach from Elvira Bromac bred and raced by the Charantoss Racing Syndicate was making his fifth race appearance having won at Charlton on October 9. ■ Popular Stawell part-owner/trainer Ray Harvey was successful with 4Y0 Sebastian KSecret Message gelding Sebastians Secret in the Morsbearings 3Y0 & Older Maiden Trotters Mobile over 2180 metres.

with Len Baker trailing first start leader Castles In The Sky (gate two) before using the sprint lane to blouse Arabella Showdown (three pegs – three wide home turn) by 3.2 metres in a rate of 2-02.1. Castles In The Sky just failed to see out the journey finishing a half head away third. ■ Ecklin South based trainer/driver Amy Day (partner of Mattie Craven) returned to the sulky with a winner after guiding 3Y0 Vincent-So Random filly Chrissy Eve to land the Mt Noorat Freighters Maiden Pace over 1680 metres. Given a cosy passage from gate five following Caledonian Ranger (one/one) ahead of her, Chrissy Eve after trailing him forward three wide in the last lap was able to overpower him in the run to the wire, scoring by 1.7 metres. Polemarker La Mesh after following the pacemaker Keayang Yogi (gate three) was third 12.7 metres back. The mile rate 1-57.3. ■ Locals Marg Lee and sons Jason and Paddy enjoyed a great night after winning with Jilliby Luminate (Terang Co-Op Rural Store 2Y0 Pace), Keayang Cedric VHRC / GBL Properties 2 Lifetime Wins Pace), Jilliby Jetpack (Terang Super IGA Co-Op Trotters) and Rocknallovertheworld (trained by Paddy) the Terang Co-Op Mitre 10 Pace all driven by Jason who chalked up four winners on the night.
Cup Day at YV
■ Yarra Valley is always a big meeting on Melbourne Cup Day and Tuesday was no exception with the usual bumper crowd in attendance. One noteworthy winner was Brent Lilley’s Wishing Stone-Exit 4Y0 gelding Tripod who scored in the Betavet Natural Solutions Trotters Handicap over 2650 metres. Driven by Kilmore’s Aussie Mifsud for wife Julie, Tripod supposedly backed from $22.00 to start a $3.00 favourite stepped cleanly from barrier four and after an unsuccessful bid to head off old timer Kheiron ($71) inside him, eased to trail for the entire race. Angling away from the markers on the home turn to challenge, Tripod raced clear halfway up the running to register an easy 8 metre victory (his first since March), with Wish Upon A Dream (barrier two) easing to three pegs after a dig for the lead finishing third 9.9 metres away. The mile rate 2-04.8. ■ Promising Guaranteed-Whateveruwant gelding Haveyoumetted brought up his second victory in seven starts by taking the Eastern Generator Hire Pace in 1-59.6.

■ Moonlight part-owner/trainer Joanne Franklin’s smart but sometimes unreliable 6Y0 Peak-Yankee Poem gelding My High Peak was on his best behavior to land the Bendigo Ski Boat Centre Trotters Mobile over 1650 metres in a mile rate of 1-58.7. With Michael Bellman in the sulky, My High Peak trotted away safely from gate five to assume control from polemarker Mumstheword and rated to perfection kicked clear on the home turn to blitz his rivals by 12 metres in advance of Frankythefrenchman (gate four) from mid-field, with The Chook third 3.4 metres away after settling ahead of the runner up. ■ Michael Bellman was to make it two for the night after guiding Sebastian trainer Wayne Gretgrix’s Auckland Reactor-Canyopera 3Y0 gelding Bandit Eyes to victory in the Haeuslers Echuca Pace Final for horses which qualified at Bendigo a week earlier. Starting outside the front line, Bandit Eyes followed Final Bow inside him forward three wide which had moved outside the pacemaker Rocknroll Lady (gate four) approaching the bell before surrendering the ’death-seat’ with a circuit to travel. Taking over on turning to open up a handy gap on his rivals, Bandit Eyes was impressive in winning by 7.3 metres from Calypso Mistress which trailed the leader who held third a head back. The mile rate 1-55.9.
Trotters Cup
■ It was United Petroleum Yarra Valley Pacing Cup Day on Thursday supplemented by the De Bortoli Yarra Valley Trotters Cup with both races over 2650 metres. The $30,000 Feature Pacers Cup saw 5Y0 Bettors Delight-Ca Cest Lamore gelding Serge Blanco chalk up two feature cup wins in the space of six days after winning the Swan Hill Cup the previous Friday. Trained at Congupna by Steven Duffy and driven on this occasion by Cody Rochenberger giving the much travelled reinswoman her biggest win in the sport, Serg Blanco came out running from gate four to head off polemarker Arggghhh before surrendering to red hot favourite Captain Ravishing at the judge on the first occasion with two laps to travel. Enjoying a cosy trip from there, Serg Blanco was eased away outside the favourite on straightening and in a couple of strides ran straight past him to record an easy 9.7 metre margin over Captain Ravishing who was most disappointing. Max Delight one/two – three wide to death then one/one afterTango Tara circled the field from the tail to shadow the leader at the bell before being three wide again on the home turn following Kosimo was third a half neck away, with Kosimo fourth six metres back. In quarters of 30.7, 29.8, 29.9 and 26.7 after a lead time of 76.7, Serg Blanco returned a 1-57.7 mile rate which was 2.3 seconds outside Lennytheshark’s 1-55.4 set in 2017. ■ Even though a small eight horse field contested the SS Trotters Cup taken out by Kyvalley Hotspur, it was in all probability the race of the day. ■ There appeared to be only four major chances Kyvalley Hotspur (Fr), Visionary (10m), Harry Stamper (20m) and Ollivici from the backmark of 30 metes, with Hammers Law a remote place chance. As the tapes released Bolinda trainer Brent Lilley’s Kyvalley Hotspur began brilliantly for Chris Alford to lead from barrier two with Visionary also beginning speedily to trail him, Gil Favor three pegs and Easy Pickings in the open being followed by Hammers Law, Ofortuna, Harry Stamper and Ollivici at the tail. The positions remained in the same order until Chris Lang made a lightning move with Ollivici to join the pacemaker racing for the bell pushing all others in the running line back a spot making it hard for those at the rear to get into the race. James Herbertson aboard Harry Stamper was off and running with a half mile to travel zooming up to make a line of three on the home turn, with Visionary poised to use the sprint lane which he did. In a thrilling battle all the way up the running, Kyvally Hotspur kept on giving to
Sulky Snippets This Week
■ Wednesday – Maryborough/Geelong, Thursday – Melton/Shepparton, Friday – Bendigo, Saturday – Melton, Monday – Horsham, Tuesday – Mildura.
Comment
■ What an appalling cover both Sky Channel and the TAB (same organization) have given Victorian Harness Racing over the past few weeks. Sky Channel have shafted numerous races to Sky 2 when our races through no fault of their own have been running late due to the closeness of the gallops ahead of them running behind time (why is there such a short gap programmed ?) Races are being cut off as soon as the winner crosses the line with no run through. As for the TAB, once upon a time fixed odds were available the night before a meeting, however nowadays odds are not being displayed until after 10 or 11am on the race day morning. Are they terrified they are giving overs – most people are aware they only COPY other corporates anyway which are no better nine times out of 10. Add to this the disgraceful place odds given in most races. In days gone by, place odds were similar to a quarter of the win odds, now they are dynamite with 4/1 chances priced at $1.20 or $1.30. (maybe $1.50 or $1.60) if you are lucky, Even eight or ten to one hopes are listed between $2.60 and $2.40, not to mention the 20-25/1 chances which are usually around $3.50 or $3.60. Is it any wonder trots are a failing fast in betting order?
gain the day by a half neck from a game Ollivici and Visionary who momentarily looked the winner finishing a neck away third and Harry Stamper to sustain the run to be fourth a metre back. In quarters of 30.7, 31.4, 30.2 and 27.9 after a lead time of 85.5 seconds, Kyvalley Hotspur recorded a 2-04.9 mile rate well outside Hopeful Beauty’s 2-00.6 set in 2022. A most consistent gelding raced by Jim Connelly’s KPC Racing, Kyvalley Hotspur has fronted the starter on 39 occasion for 11 wins and 11 placings earning stakes in excess of $176,000.
At Ballarat
■ Ballarat raced on Friday with further Breeders Crown heats and as expected, Emma Stewart and Mark Pitt dominated winning three – Major Delight (3Y0 Filles Heat One), Elysian Jay (3Y0 Filles Heat two and Oliver Dan (3Y0 C & G Heat Two). Geoff Webster and Chris Alford took the C & G First Heat with Dougs Platter which sprouted wings from three pegs halfway up the running to blouse the Stewart odds-on chance Perfect Class). Marg Lee and nephew Glen Craven landed the Tribute Show 16/12 Book Now Trotters Mobile over 2200 metres with talented Kiwi bred 3Y0 Imperial Count-Anns Monarch gelding Imperial Monarch in a rate of 2-02.4. Settling midfield in the moving line from gate three on the second line as One Muscle Hill (gate three) led, Imperial Monarch sprinted home with a rush to score by 2 metres from At The Distance (three pegs) and Floating Mountain which trailed the pacemaker from the pole. Veteran Ballarat trainer Vin Mahar training out of the Stewart complex snared the BC Electrical & Air Conditioning 3Y0 & Older Maiden Pace over 2200 metres with 3Y0 Yankee Rockstar-Predict filly Bundle raced by Ballarat doyen Pat Prendergast.
