V'landys' pitch comes less than a fortnight before the running of Sydney's $14 million The Everest, the world's richest race on turf.

"If you are really interested in the national racing scene, don't give us diatribe. Look at it and if there is a better pattern, they should act instead of being critical all the time thinking they have a monopoly and attacking the other states."They [VRC] should look at it as a national industry. They shouldn't look at it as a Victorian racing industry. I don't think the way it is at the moment is of benefit to the Victorian racing industry let alone the national industry.

V'landys has aggressively added rich events to Sydney's racing scene - including The Everest and the $7.5 million Golden Eagle to be run on Victoria Derby day for the first time next month - to reinvigorate the NSW industry.

Nah, just a bloke seeking free publicity for the race that everyone forgets.

Stupid why run this race when its warmer think of the horses for heavens sake what next move anzac day

He is from NSW, that alone says it all. No idea, not one iota. Muppet

V'landys - the 'stable' genius

Another publicity stunt to boost an overhyped overpriced sprint race with little interest from the locals let alone people from other states

An annual event with a rich traditional and international interest and some clown wants the date changed? Go away muppet.

What a fool very possibly a publicity stunt to boost the an average over hyped Sydney horse race and I live there

Piss off N.S.W 🖕🏻

Message to NSW: F.R.O. The end.

Why? Do we seriously need to tinker with fucking everything?

why cant NSW move their race?

I'm a New south Welshman and I don't think the Melbourne cup should change .. run everything else should be around it ..

I am important. And insecure. And narcissistic. I need everyone to know who I am. I am important.

Umm. Let me think. No. Get stuffed.

I think it is NSW Racing trying to remain relevant to anyone? Sydney

NO

There you go learn something new everyday. I didn’t know they had horse racing in NSW, I thought they were more of a greyhound racing or ferret racing sort of crowd. Maybe they could run a sour grapes dog cup day.

Tell NSW to ... off!

They should move it to November 31st

Bugger off.

🔧

Oh FFS, just throw it in the bin already.

Nobody cares about the “national party acing scene”. Victorians do care about their long weekend in early November. Late November messes with school terms ending and Christmas events. It will never happen.

Why?

How about we just ban horse racing?

Sorry that won't happen. 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Too close to Christmas 🎄

A push on By whom other than this clown

I'm not sure moving to late November is the answer. It potentially could clash with the cricket season. TI

what about the heat ?

Leave the alone it’s run on the first Tuesday in November for over a hundred years it would be sad it changed

There is NO push to move the Cup, just a bloke who wants to destabilise racing in Victoria to benefit NSW. 🤬🤡

Who the F us NSW’Landy oh wait

Well if the Spring Racing Carnival is crowded then NSW should just move all their races to July. What a dick . One of the biggest races in the world and he wants to move it

If they want to move it, move it to a Saturday and go to work on the Monday and Tuesday. It’s a horse race.

Pretty transperant, why Run this crap let SMH do his bidding.

get stuffed

Newsflash, NSW wants to diminish Vic dominance

This bloke can add ‘comedian’ to his CV. Give yourself an upper cut mate...

I’m tipping there will be an even bigger push for it to remain when it is. NSW trying to insert themselves in our business. 🙄

Who cares it’s a race ...

Another human being selfish

Don’t worry. Most people should be fine with this form of political expression because it doesn’t inconvenience them and is done on their own time. Should make lots of friends that way hey DanielAndrewsMP? John Laws , Australian Radio ..may like the ' Fortress ' sign.. The 'blades' to use against a Truth-Teller, as I so sorely learned , of old ..anyway ! Welcome to Victoria...”The State of Utter Lawlessness”! Don’t even take your dog there!!!
