What any Good rating? A G4 or a G3 or a G2? OK you're probably right there isn't a mandate but I thought there was some policy. Feel free to add to the list or correct it. You won't get moderated for disagreeing. -
Where is that mandate? Is it new? I thought it was that the track be prepared to provide a good rating for the majority of the meeting. -

There have been a number of threads and posts on this Topic over the last few months. It is clearly evident that: On many (All?) tracks that the pre-raceday gallops as per the NZTR protocol is not done; That a penetrometer or any other device other than a moisture meter is used on the tracks leading up to and including raceday. Ellerslie have openly said they only test for moisture and DON'T use a penetrometer. Other StrathAyr tracks use a Going Stick. Ellerslie seem to have special dispensation to treat their track as an AWT; The moisture meters used are probably not calibrated regularly hence readings that don't correlate with the official track ratings; The track rating an hour before race 1 is often not the actual rating for the track - how can it be when no horses have galloped nor has any testing occurred. A morning of sunshine can quickly turn a doubtful S5 into a G3!; It would appear that the S5 readings are often G4. This is probably to get around the NZTR mandate that on race morning the track should be no better than a G4; Some trainers have been misled by the official ratings leading to scratchings that may not have occurred if the rating had been accurate e.g. Crocetti being scratched at Trentham when the track was reported as Soft yet raced as a Good 4 and better; Jockeys have openly said after race that the official rating is wrong. In at least one instance the Jockeys told the Stewards who refused to upgrade; There are rumours that one track alters the readings taken by track staff before presenting to NZTR; It is apparent that there is no QUALITY CONTROL checking by the RIB Stewards that all the protocols and measurements have been undertaken as prescribed; The worst offenders are Ellerslie, Trentham and Riccarton. This list could go on.... With regard to there being a conspiracy - well the choice is either between a conspiracy and a cockup. I would go with the latter i.e. a cockup laced with some collusion.
