I agree wholeheartedly with these comments which represent the crux of the problem. A fair and safe track should be provided at each and every race meeting, NO EXCEPTIONS. Why was Karaka Millions night not called off, and why was the track not inspected after each race at the last meeting? Because the Stipendiary Stewards WERE NOT doing their job due to too many outside influences. Likewise with jockeys telling the Stipes their mounts slipped in the running. If the Stipes did what they are paid to do they should be questioning the jockeys before they've weighed in as they would have ALREADY SEEN THE SLIPPING. The only reason trainers are being left out of any discussions on race day is because the Stipes do not want to hear the truth!!!! -

The Roger Varian-trained Al Musmak (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) will bid to defy his outsider status when he lines out in the Qipco 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday week. The colt brings smart form to the table with a Listed win in Haydock's Ascendant S. sandwiched between creditable placed efforts behind Rosallion (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}) at Ascot and then on his final start of the year when second to Ghostwriter (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) in the Royal Lodge. A return to the Rowley Mile for the opening Classic of the season has been on the cards ever since, for which Al Musmak is a 66-1 chance. “It's our intention to run Al Musmak in the 2000 Guineas and he's training nicely at home,” said Varian. “He's got some very solid form from last year, finishing runner-up to Rosallion in the Pat Eddery Stakes and winning a strong Ascendant Stakes where the second, third and fourth all run at Sandown in the Classic Trial and we'll be keen to have a good look at that form. Then he wasn't beaten too far by the Clive Cox horse [Ghostwriter] when second in the Royal Lodge. “He's a 108-rated, strong performer and it's always been our intention to go straight to a Guineas with him and we're looking forward to doing that.” He added, “There are a lot of good horses from those autumn races and he's got solid form. He's 108 not 118, so he needs to improve to bring home a 2000 Guineas. But he's going into the race fresh, he's wintered well and he looks a stronger horse-it's not beyond him to run well.” The post Roger Varian Hoping Al Musmak Can Defy 66-1 Odds In 2,000 Guineas appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

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?
