Firstly, can you clarify if Messara will be present, it does not specify if he will Secondly, the contents of the report, may answer many of the questions posed??

A lot of data to digest, but I think eventually it will become standard and as I have said, people will quickly sift through and take note of what is important. Surely these GPS trackers are the way of the future in assessing a horses run, takes out a lot of the guesswork, particularly for wide draws, unlucky runners caught wide and coming very wide on the home turn

Watched it also even though it has been on several times before and is about 10 years old So much great historical footage

That must mean a lot finer grade than specified was used

Just a few figs If they applied 50mm of sand around the entire 1800m course, 12-18m out, then we are talking about 540 cubic meters of sand, about 800 tonnes

Yep you're right, it has got into cover up territory, and quite a while ago

Played and missed, you might say

Suggests no one was project managing

Here's the audio of Ken Rutherford speaking, thanks Curious http://www.nzracing.co.nz/News/25374/Audio-Ken-Rutherford.aspx He probably wishes he was still opening the batting, at least then he had control of his own fate

Good point, it suggests that no one realised it was a mistake, until the problems started occurring, too late then It was only then that it became apparent they had made a mistake. I see Ken Rutherford saying 2 inches of sand was applied over the middle section of the track. That's a lot of sand, and would have partially covered the turf grasses

I don't think the report will recommend closing any tracks. It will be all about money and a sustainable way ahead, and I can't see how closing down tracks will have any impact on either

Agree Hedley, I see over on race cafe, they are bitching about the venue and the date coinciding with a trot meeting. Some just never get it

And that is when you want all the machinations in the Peter's handbook on Racing's side......don't you think

A bit of tit for tat, if you get what I mean

It is usually silt(very fine particulate matter) that blocks drains

I presume it will be, once formally released This site will put up a link to the report if one is available

Hot date?

I think punters and those interested would quickly come to grips with what data was important and to be looked at on a regular basis, and what data was on a need to know basis. I would find it very interesting, say in a 1200m race, looking at what distance each of the runners has actually covered, bearing in mind there are other factors to consider

Yep along the lines of

The more data you have on any sporting contest, the better you are able to analyse the performance of the participants. With cricket, it seems like every time you watch, the presenters have more data available to analyse the performance of a side, batsmen or bowler. As for who pays for it, who funds for Cricinfo, as it is free

Thanks, is it available on desktop Punters Intel Brought to you by Racing NSW, Punter’s Intel provides the ultimate tool to access race data and view dynamic 3D replays of NSW thoroughbred races. Performance data is collected 50 times per second via saddle cloth mounted transmitters and collated in the app to show race times, sectional times, distance travelled, top speed and positioning for every horse in the race. The app also allows users to view a 3D simulated replay of the race and control camera angles as well as select data to be viewed throughout the race.

How is it that Cricinfo can do this and keep on improving it , and Racing stumbles along year after year. I've followed cricket and Cricinfo for many years, and it is impressive the amount of data and presentation that is available through the technology that is being used

Have a look at Cricinfo at the wealth of data available on a test match under stats and hawk eye http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18018/statistics/1119551/england-vs-india-3rd-test-ind-in-eng-2018 Why can't racing get up to speed with related data like this, pretty sure the technology is available via GPS 200m sectionals for each race Therefore the ability to look, at last 600m, first 600m, mid race sectionals etc etc GPS tracker for each horse, showing the track it took in the race Therefore the ability to look at each horse, compare runs by adding in selected horses, get a total distance run. Would take a lot of the guesswork out of how much further a horse runs when it draws wide or comes 8 wide on the turn etc etc
