INTERS FINAL LOOKS LIKELY TO BE SCHEDULED FOR 6.30pm

Rumours around that the Inter-Dominion Grand Finals is scheduled to be run at  6.30pm (Queensland summer time) on the 16^th December has led to some criticism, however let’s look at it from another angle first of all that will be 7.30pm Eastern Summer Time,  it also will coincides with the final day of the Ascot WA Carnival which has a $1.5million dollar race, hopefully that will encourage of course punters to bet on the Inters Final and finally stats tell us that turnover on early races is much greater than later races.
