With the decision made regarding Cranbourne, are we going to see another track built in Victoria? Well, here's just an thought that would work and work very well. A straight track located in Avoca at the backside of the racecourse. 90 minutes form Horsham. 130 minutes from Warrnambool. 50 minutes from Ballarat. 120 minutes from Geelong. Opens up the possibility of straight track racing for the whole West of the state who find Healesville such an arduous trip. Avoca is a popular quality wine area/day trip from Melbourne. The back straight area of the Council owned racecourse has 500m to work with. I know Cranbourne people want Cranbourne back, just like Wangaratta people want Wangaratta back. There was talk about putting a straight track at Horsham but I think Avoca is the location. Just putting that out there.
