In my opinion that isn't related to how much irrigation was applied on the Thursday. It is a combination of a number of challenging factors to manage. For example - how much do you apply? 5ml? 10ml? 12ml? You don't seem to disagree that am amount should have been applied. In my opinion the issue goes back before Thursday. We don't have full access to the daily water budget for the track. But if smaller amounts had been applied more regularly then that would negate the need for a large dollop all at once. One of the reasons you need to apply large amounts is when the track is dry you initially get run off and because of disparity in underlying soil and drainage some sections will get wet quicker hence the creation of fast and slow lanes. So ideally you keep the track and moisture level in a narrow soft range and THEN play the weather forecast closer to raceday. Perhaps they did that but because the top layer soil structure is stuffed you don't have much buffer to get it wrong. Well we did have some trainers joining the hundreds of experts. The track managers should be blamed the least for these issues. They are trying to manage tracks that have had no substantial renovation or annual maintenance investment for decades. -
I think we did and fairplay to the track management team there for achieving that in tricky circumstances on a track that is not easy to manage. I hope they put a good dollop of water back on it last night for Wednesday. -

There was for sure a fast strip 3 or 4 off the fence where horses could run times. Unfortunately though it wasnt consistent across the whole track, Which I think is always the case when we put too much water on within 48 hrs of our raceday (18mls on Thursday night) The outside was quite wet and the fence was off to start the day. Have a look at the barrier draws and replays of the first four races. Did it dry out during the day? Of course. The aim is to have a Good 4 for the majority of the raceday that is fair racing for all involved, punters and participants alike. Did we get that? No Yes I think they were a victim of an inaccurate weather report but I also think 18mls is too much to be putting on that close to racing which I have voiced. Hopefully it gets rectified and everyone gets a fair crack at the rest of the carnival Alan and the crew generally get it right. I hate how all of a sudden they get hundreds of "experts" at this time of the year trying to tell them how to manage it. I'm sure if left alone they would get it right again
