The equine flu has meant the indefinite end of harness racing (all pacing) at Harold Park Raceway, with unforeseen consequences. One being the return of the big crowds of old to watch... CAMEL RACING. http://www.haroldpark.com.au/paceway/camelresults.html Will I be tempted?... watch this space. Another consequence is that culture called in the form of the Sidney Nolan retrospective (accompanying Pat and Sandy Troy).
Here I was moved to reinterpret (as one is allowed to do of course) a familiar painting as representing an early form of monte racing on a very dry and wide track. N Kelly is carrying a lot of overweight and his style is outdated but his horse is still showing the rest a clean pair of heels. Next: Sculpture by the Sea!
