Perhaps they didn't want the horses eating the track? The clover would have been put in because the soil on the Coast would have been starved of nutrient. Hence rushes growing instead of grass. Perhaps there were one too many farmers involved in the Omoto renovation who were used to growing pasture to feed cattle. -

I'm not sneering. But what I call renovation and what you call renovation are completely different. The tracks that were "renovated" weren't done properly. Riccarton was "renovated" in the 1990's. Correct? To think that it doesn't need to be done again inside 30 years even if it was done properly is incorrect. As I've said before if Clubs worked together then you could treat the tracks like crop fields/paddocks and have a renewal rotation in place. While one was renovated and rested the others took up the slack. Moonee Valley and Racing Victoria is taking this approach when they reshape and renovate completely The Valley track. As for the "Canterbury grass seed" being sown in the wrong place is probably a narrative of blame that has reach mythical proportions! -

Im no expert so I can't comment about that. But the Coast examples were simply bad practice. There was nothing wrong with either track from a safety perspective. They just looked rough with the rushes and native weed through the surface. But always safe.

The GIII Bob Hope Stakes, which was postponed from last Sunday to Nov. 21, has now been cancelled entirely after attracting just three entrants, according to a report in Daily Racing Form. “It's disappointing, obviously, to not have a stakes race go, which is extremely rare here,” Del Mar's racing secretary David Jerkens told DRF's Brad Free. “It's a dose of reality with 2-year-olds on the dirt right now. It's been a frustrating category all summer.” Ten juveniles were nominated for the Bob Hope, including Bob Baffert trainees Boyd (Violence), Buetane (Tiz the Law)–both 'TDN Rising Stars presented by Hagyard,'–and Desert Gate (Omaha Beach), as well as the Chief Stipe O'Neill-trained Acknowledgemeplz (Bucchero). Southern California's graded races for juveniles drew slim fields all summer. The GIII Best Pal S. in August at Del Mar attracted five runners, the GI Del Mar Futurity in September drew six, and the GI American Pharoah Stakes in October at Santa Anita fielded six. “We're dealing with a very limited pool of 2-year-old winners,” Jerkens told Free.
