Curious, for Jenny and my education which is firmer…Cambridge at 72 or Awapuni at 60?
I once had a filly run at Cambridge when it was firm, (Clegg Hammer unheard of) and she ran a beaut 2nd.
Three weeks later she went back there for the Maiden Finial and she very poorly BECAUSE the track was prepared very differently. They fluffed it up so much that it was the equivalent of a heavy track.
At the time I didn’t even know that they could do that!
Anyway believe it or not, she is down to have her first run again on a synthetic surface at Awapuni on Sunday and I am quite confident except now Awapuni is vastly different to Cambridge, (according to the Cleg Hammer) so what is what?
Which one is firm, which one is fluffy, hence deep.
What do the figures pertaining to the Cleg Hammer mean.
Can Chief (or Curious) please delve into this and advise us poor mortal souls?
