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.

Fresh from sending out four winners at Cheltenham's November Meeting, Dan Skelton issued another statement of intent in his quest for a first British trainers' championship when revealed as the new trainer of the two most expensive lots sold during Monday's opening session of the Arqana Autumn Sale. In the space of three lots, the three-year-olds Mets Ta Ceinture (Hunter's Light) (lot 380) and Merci Mam (Karaktar) (lot 378) sold for an aggregate sum of €1,230,000. Both horses went through the ring following the decision to dissolve the partnership between the ownership duo of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede and Haras de Saint Voir. Formerly trained by Anne-Sophie Pacault, Mets Ta Ceinture took top billing at €710,000, having recently won the G3 Prix du Tremblay for APQS-bred horses. She is out of the black-type mare Rien De Plus (Video Rock), from the family of the top-level winners Rendons Grace (Video Rock) and Homme Du Jour (Video Rock). Merci Man, meanwhile, sold for €710,000, having impressed when making a winning hurdling debut at Lyon Parilly last month. He will now depart the Hugo Merienne stable and, along with Mets Ta Ceinture, join the powerful Skelton string in Warwickshire. Anthony Bromley, who acts as racing manager to Munir and Souede, among other roles, signed for both horses under the name of his Highflyer Bloodstock. “They will both be trained by Dan Skelton for Lindy and Mark O'Hare,” Bromley confirmed. “I know both of them very well – I know their potential and I know they have bright futures ahead. We saw them this morning and they passed all the vet checks. They are two quality horses with good pedigrees, which is rare on the market. We're very happy.” National Hunt maestro Willie Mullins, who pipped Skelton to the British trainers' championship in both 2023/24 and 2024/25, also gained a handful of new recruits on Monday, although the most expensive of his purchases, the Oasis Dream colt Columbus (lot 342), is likely to remain on the Flat for the foreseeable future. Consigned by trainer Christophe Ferland, Colombus won last year's G3 Prix Gerald de Geoffre and showed even better form in defeat this year when finishing third in September's G1 Preis von Europa at Cologne. Harold Kirk, standing beside Pierre Boulard, had the final say at €400,000 for the four-year-old, who is from the family of the Group 1 winners Coronet and Aussie Rules. Bloodstock agent Dermot Farrington also featured among the day's leading buyers, having secured a pair of three-year-olds for a total of €530,000. The most expensive of them was this year's G3 Prix Greffulhe winner and Derby also-ran Midak (Footstepsinthesand) (lot 374), who headlined the Aga Khan Studs draft at €300,000, while Farrington also signed for the recent G3 Prix Perth runner-up Chibitty (Zelzal) (lot 355) at €230,000. Of the 228 lots offered, 193 sold (85%) for a total of €8,137,000 and at an average of €42,161. The median was €13,000. Following Monday's productive session, reserved for horses-in-training on the Flat and over jumps, the sale continues at 11am (local time) on Tuesday when it will be the turn of the stores and National Hunt yearlings to go through the ring.
