      I am not totally opposed to the meeting being transferred to the AWT. It may have been a sensible decision.  The question really is how much consultation was done with the trainers and how many options were considered?  There were probably 4 or 5 options: -Abandon the meeting altogether. -Transfer it to Monday at Riccarton. -Transfer it to Timaru. -Transfer it to the AWT. Possibly even consider reopening noms for an AWT meeting on Saturday to fill the gap. Afterall there were three full fields of horses from Thurs totally neglected in all these discussions. And transfer the grass meeting to Monday or Tues. Remember we recently saw a massive Sydney Saturday meeting transferred to the Tues, quite successfully to.

      End of Allstars dominance confirmed

      Well Blair lost about 6 lengths with Chase A Dream in the Roy Purdon Memorial Chief. drove it a bit hard though , in a quality field.  only a shadow of When Mark ran 2nd to Leap To Fame with him.  Young Carter now with the Best horse in NZ as Republican Party takes AKLD Cup, Messenger and Roy Purdon Memorial group 1's . well done to the Dalgety Family .  Great to see BET N WIN take the Rowe Cup for the Whites. Thought Muscle Mountain would bolt that in , but only 4th. The 'Queen' went very nicely for Chris ALford into 3rd spot. She's a real treasure and always gives her best.  Bad Luck for Blair Orange . Had 5 Allstars drives for didley squat tonight.  No wins again for the starry team . Mark back in the bike soon ?

      No chance. Track staff would have, then there would have been a zoom meeting. Did he then quote the people who inspected the track word for word, or embellish. The big thing from my perspective is why not race a day later. There is a bit of contrariness' coming through here from Entain who put emphasis on Saturdays being the money days yet wanting to get much more racing on Sundays in the wetter months.

      That is an amazing article. I'm growing to like Tyler. He sounds like an intelligent trainer. He suggested the meeting could have been transferred to Timaru. Balcombe basically just said "fuck of, what would a trainer know."

      Did Balcombe walk the track before he made those claims?
