Jason goes solo while George heads to Syndey for tonight’s game. But it’s not Grey Areas without G Farrugia so he joins on the phone for the first half of the show.

James Van de Maat called the action from Healesville today and joined Jason Adams on Grey Areas in-between races to chat all things, Emerald. Jase and James also talked about the significance of the wind at Healesville.

The Emerald is a series unlike anything else. It starts with eight heats, but just because you win a heat doesn't mean you make it through to the final. The fastest eight runners make up the field.

Heat winners and kennel mates Short Straw Trev and Hijack won their heats but didn't proceed to the final because they were beaten on time by Cheap Red Wine and Mile A Minute who finished second.

Horsham Cup tonight, Jason gets the opinion of James and George following the news of both Tim Zoo and Hotel Whisky One scratching.

George's set at The Meadows:

Race 10, Milton Cranberry (3)
"Showed his best in a terrific win last week."

Race 11, Cruising Jamie (2)
"Really keen on and drawn where he wants to be."

George's Obscure Outlay:

Multi – South Sydney Rabbitohs to beat the Dolphins into the Manly Sea Eagles to beat North Queensland. Shopping around the $2.70 to $2.80 mark.
