When asked on Racing.com’s Tuesdays with Terry whether night racing would have a place at the track, the Warrnambool-based horseman noted that much of Victoria’s night racing is focused to the east of Melbourne at Southside Racing’s Cranbourne and Pakenham tracks, in addition to Moonee Valley.
“The whole Western District caters for a reasonable amount of horses,” Dabernig said.
“Geelong is very accessible from Melbourne.
“I’m not sure of the costs involved in it, or whether it’s something that Racing Victoria would want to do, or the race club.
“Certainly, from our point of view, it does seem a little bit one-sided, geared around the other side of Melbourne.
“I think (that) certainly the product of it would work and Geelong’s got a great facility and would probably be a good location.”
