We are probably all meaning well, but to a large extent we are not experts
I dug this up from the NZ Herald, 21 Dec 2016, you would have thought this guy would know, was there ever any recommendations that came out of this.
Last Saturday's abandonment of Awapuni's $100,000 Manawatu Cup day, later reinstated as a postponement until Sunday, has cranked up awareness of repeating problems and at 10am today a meeting has been called to examine the causative factors leading to the problem. At that meeting will be trainers, jockeys, club representatives, Integrity Unit representatives, racing stewards and the special guest will be one of the world experts on track maintenance, John Jeffs. He was the longtime track curator at Sydney's Rosehill course before moving to the same position in Hong Kong.
