Off and running -- conscripted media hype for the 'no star mile' 2021
...................... the 'independent' racing media men -- the racing media corp is 'only men' -- have started to hype up the 2021 running of the 'no star mile' ......... on 13 March ..........at the Vale of Tears ........ god help us!
........ recently touted starters include Behmouth, Mugatoo ............... just wait for more teasers.
This is disgraceful manipulation of punters emotions.
This is 'dare to be great racing' writ large ...... and written stupidly .............
The All-Star Mile will remain the world’s richest mile race with Racing Victoria (RV) today confirming it will again offer total prize money of $5 million.
................ Since its inception in 2019, The All-Star Mile has provided a unique and entertaining way to engage racing fans and the wider community, while delivering plenty of great story lines.
This is nuts -- eligibility influenced by 'punters votes':
Over the first two years of The All-Star Mile, more than 275,000 fans have helped shape the field with the most popular pick in 2020, Queensland’s cult hero Alligator Blood, attracting over 18,500 votes.
............... RVL has come to understand the stupidity of 'acceptance elections' ....tightened the rules to preclude 'Trumps' ......... but the concept remains an illustration of the mindlessness that has become characteristic of RVL ............. in this case, a stupid attempt to confront the Sydney autumn carnival ............ mirroring (mocking) the Everest so successfully promoted by RNSW.
.............. Australian racing needs a 'whole of Australia' perspective ........ as is, RNSW, by default, will soon be the national racing industry.
