2022 Castlemaine 120m Men's Gift

A $5,000 prize pool awaits the Men's Gift this week. We have seen quick times recently, and on a fast deck at Camp Reserve there will be plenty of interest here. 72 entries in total, with Leonard King to start as backmarker off 3.25m.

Tim is primed for this one hope the bookie turns up

Camille for me, due for a big win, will be cruising past Timmy at the 80m mark

Camille will go close but still needs another 0.25-0.5m based on his Ballarat run. Paull has this in the bag if he wants it. Lugo is the smoky.

Dear H. Kerr,

Enjoy your win this weekend.

No allowance boyz

Depends who wins/places Bill.

0.1 allowance if from the West or North
Zippo if from the Eastside

I’m concerned for clubs that run on good/downhill tracks if no track allowances are given out. We will unfortunately have to elect to miss those races if they are going to hurt our samples with unrealistic RPM’s that we can’t achieve on normal tracks. It is unfair on those clubs if runners start giving them a miss.

Here’s your final ladies

Ryan Camel
Timmy Raisin

Coming off a 60m win in 6.53 in Toruń it's hard to see Eli Hall losing this one

The Ballarat stable relay was an eye opener.

Glad to see it was Nathan Riali who won!
Well deserved and well over due
Will be a contender at Stawell

Great to watch the Castlemaine stawell gift yesterday. All those times with no track allowance. As Olie would say. "Wow Wee"

I think you’ll find there will be a track allowance of 0.1, but let’s wait for the Chief Stewards report.

It was a super high quality gift, both in terms of the running and the event overall. So many entries, and some very fast times. Massive credit goes to Darryl and the sponsors. To put together $23k of prize money, and so many trophies, prizes, etc for everyone on the podium, it makes it one of the best gifts on the calendar each year imo.

Ollie announced at the end of the day that the stewards had decided to give the 70m and 120m events a 0.1track allowance.

Ok that's good. Riali still to miss out on bonus for quick time thou.

He will receive 0.25m.

Based on his best runs at Castlemaine and Ballarat, his ceiling is 4.269m. Athletes cannot be handicapped in front of their ceiling so the most he can get is 0.25m.
