I'm not saying that at all. The tighter the radius of the bend the more camber you need. BUT the radius of the bend at Ellerslie is very large and so little or no camber is required. But the camber ISN'T the issue it is the surface. It is slippery even if you were galloping straight. The horses hooves are sliding on the grass and top layer. Which should be the RIB's prime responsibilty. Why Karaka Millions night wasn't called off for safety reasons should be questioned. Why didn't they inspect after each race at the last meeting when they knew there had been problems? Consensus from that group of disparate interests and skills would be impossible. The simple factor to get right is to provide a safe and fair track. It shouldn't be up to one Jockey to say "my horse slipped, sir", and then they all rush out and stand around looking for skid marks. -
Yes a total blight on the harness industry to try and nail many members of the harness racing fraternity and for WHAt. From the hearsay evidence I have heard, it was making a mountain out of a molehill, and has left a black mark and bad taste in the mouth of harness participants that the general public have seen! The RIU, should take a serious look at the very poor exhibition of their talents or lack of talent! The amount of money drained from the accused having to defend themselves is quite abhorrent and also the loss of dignity while the accused had to continue with the charges against them for many years! Most probably have an opinion on Operation Inca, but from my point of view it shouldve been changed to OPERATION STINKA! Are the accused going to have their costs reimbursed to them by HRNZ? -

Yes I am aware, and the Manawatu meeting slated for two days later (on the 21st) will also be moved to Otaki giving them a two-day meeting to themselves. BUT, they will also still run the dual code day on Jan 6 at a smaller level, probably four or five races as has been the case recently, even though it doesn't currently say either of those things in the calendar. You can also expect a couple of meetings at Thames to be announced sooner rather than later, too. -

What Oaks & Sangster Day 2024 Where Morphettville Racecourse – 79 Morphett Rd, Morphettville, SA 5043 When Saturday, April 27, 2024 First Race 12:02pm ACST Visit Dabble The Adelaide Racing Carnival for 2024 gets underway at Morphettville Racecourse on Saturday afternoon with a stacked nine-race meeting awaiting punters. The Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) and Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) headlines proceedings, with black-type racing littered throughout the day. Perfect conditions will greet punters and runners alike with the track a Good 4 and the rail in its true position. A Group 1 day of racing is set to commence at 12:02pm ACST. Race 1: 0-68 Handicap (1100m) Aviatress is set to return from a 24-week spell on Saturday and if the three-year-old filly produces anything close to what she did in her initial campaign, she should prove too classy for her rivals. The Smart Missile progeny was last seen finishing fourth in the Group 3 Red Roses Stakes (1100m) down the Flemington straight when racing in restricted room in the concluding stages. Jake Toeroek will need a touch of luck in the home straight from barrier two, but if the gaps come, Aviatress has a slick turn of foot and she should prove too hard to hold out. Selections: 12 AVIATRESS 5 MEETMEINMELBOURNE 11 WALLY WEST 2 DECLARED Best Bet Race 1 – #12 Aviatress (2) 3yo Filly | T: Richard & Chantelle Jolly | J: Jake Toeroek (56kg) +120 with Dabble Race 2: Group 3 Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) In the juvenile feature of the day, the Richard & Chantelle Jolly-trained Karavas looks poised to strike second-up from a spell. The two-year-old filly was hitting the line strongly over 1000m when unable to run down Lincolnshire who gained the perfect run in transit. As the Alabama Express filly steps up to the 1200m for the first time, she has show signs that this trip will suit her perfectly considering the way she finishes off her races. With a strong finishing burst, Karavas can claim her second Group success at just start four. Selections: 7 KARAVAS 1 GROWING EMPIRE 8 PURE AQUA 11 KAHDIME Breeders’ Stakes Race 2 – #7 Karavas (7) 2yo Filly | T: Richard & Chantelle Jolly | J: Jake Toeroek (55.5kg) +400 with Neds Race 3: Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes (2000m) Warmonger produced a thunderous finish over 1800m when going down to Air Assault by the barest of margins when the pair clashed on April 13. The three-year-old gelding looks set to turn the tables on his rival as they step up to 2000m in the Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes. Damian Lane hops back on board after riding him in four of his six career starts, for two successes. The son of War Decree will be in the second-half of the field, but on the back of a genuinely run affair, Warmonger has the finish to blouse his rivals. Selections: 3 WARMONGER 1 AIR ASSAULT 2 BOLD SOUL 4 SHINJUKU Chairman’s Stakes Race 3 – #3 Warmonger (9) 3yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Damian Lane (57.5kg) +240 with PlayUp Race 4: Group 3 John Hawkes Stakes (1200m) Press Down was only beaten 1.4 lengths in Group 3 company on April 13 by Benedetta and Climbing Star, who both go around in the Robert Sangster later in the day as strong market fancies. The four-year-old gelding was forced to travel four and five wide with no cover the trip, yet still had the audacity to grip on to third. With speed drawn to his outside, Callan Murray should gain a nice cart across the field and if he can land Press Down in the one-one, he has the ability to out do these sprinters who have a touch more class. Selections: 13 PRESS DOWN 1 SGHIRRIPA 6 WHAT YOU NEED 4 SANS DOUTE Best Value Race 4 – #14 Press Down (13) 4yo Gelding | T: Peter Hardacre | J: Callan Murray (54kg) +900 with Dabble Race 5: Group 2 Tobin Bronze Stakes (1200m) Skybird caught the eye when making strong ground late in Open company at Bendigo on April 13 when needing to cary 61kg. The Group 1-placed filly was clearly having that run as a warm-up for what she is set to produce during the Adelaide Carnival and looks to have found the right race in to continue her impressive career. The Exosphere filly will gain a perfect tow into the race from barrier five, and if she produces anything close to what she is capable of, Skybird will prove too hard to hold out over 1200m. Selections: 8 SKYBIRD 1 ARKANSAW KID 9 GUMDROPS 5 PIVOT CITY Tobin Bronze Stakes Race 5 – #8 Skybird (5) 3yo Filly | T: Mitchell Freedman | J: Beau Mertens (55.5kg) +550 with Bet365 Race 6: Group 2 Queen Of The South Stakes (1600m) Coming off her first run off a long break, the Symon Wilde-trained Sirileo Miss looks poised to strike in the Group 2 Queen Of The South Stakes. The six-year-old mare was wide throughout over 1400m at Bendigo on March 13, and despite finishing 10th, was only beaten 3.1 lengths. With hardly any early speed in the race, Jordan Childs should have no issue in finding a spot outside the lead and keeping luck out of the equation. With four wins and two runner-up efforts from six second-up runs, the Pride of Dubai clearly takes great benefit from fresh runs. Sirileo Miss presents great value with online bookmakers in the quaddie opener. Selections: 2 SIRILEO MISS 10 LADY JONES 5 SEONEE 1 CAMPIONESSA Queen Of The South Stakes Race 6 – #2 Sirileo Miss (15) 6yo Mare | T: Symon Wilde | J: Jordan Childs (58.5kg) +1100 with Picklebet Race 7: Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) The Group 1 Australasian Oaks has attracted a capacity field of 16 for the staying feature of the day, and with even luck, Pulchritudinous can make her Australian debut a winning one. The last-start Group 1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) winner has since been transferred to the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott stable and if she is anywhere close to her best, she looks capable of blowing this field away. She put 1.8 lengths on her Group 1 rivals in the NZ Oaks and looks to be a serious stayer on the rise. Tim Clark will have her settled midfield from barrier seven and if she replicates anything close to what she did in NZ, Pulchritudinous should prove to be the superior filly. Selections: 1 PULCHRITUDINOUS 2 WINGS OF SONG 11 CONCELLO 6 VIBRANT SUN Australasian Oaks Race 7 – #1 Pulchritudinous (5) 3yo Filly | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Tim Clark (56kg) +850 with Neds Race 8: Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) In what shapes to be one of the better editions of the Robert Sangster Stakes in recent times, a field of 14 fillies and mares will do battle for the $1 million on offer. Will Ciaron Maher’s Estriella continue on her winning ways? Or is there an upset brewing in the 1200m scamper for the girls? Check out HorseBetting’s free preview of the 2024 Robert Sangster Stakes here. Race 9: Open Handicap (1600m) Chicago Storm was a dominant all-the-way victor in Listed company over 1527m at Morphettville on April 13, and in a similar race can string together consecutive victories. Following the win, the son of Trust In A Gust goes up 4kg, but draws to do no work in barrier four. He clearly brings an element of class to an Open Handicap like the one he faces here, and if Carleen Hefel can take a sit just off the speed, Chicago Storm has a turn of foot which prove to be enough to get the job done in the Morphettville finale. Selections: 1 CHICAGO STORM 7 SECOND TO NUN 4 MY KHALIFA 3 MR MAESTRO Next Best Race 9 – #1 Chicago Storm (4) 5yo Gelding | T: David Aldridge | J: Carleen Hefel (58kg) +320 with PlayUp Morphettville free Saturday quaddie tips Morphettville quadrella selections Saturday, April 27, 2024 1-2-3-5-10-18 1-2-6-8-10-11 2-4-12 1-7 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -
