c'mon Matamata made the right call. They do it in Australia all the time. When a track is extremely heavy racing on it does alot of damage and at this time of the year the tracks don't recover. Race on Matamata Friday and you don't see it again for 3-4 months. Postponing til sunday,its still going to be a heavy 10 but the track won't be slaughtered and unraceable,was the correct/smart decision. At Flemington in Victoria the grass galloping tracks get closed when it's to heavy so they don't get destroyed. Well done to Matamata for a sensible decision. We always bang on about how unprofessional Nz Racing is but abandonments happen just as frequently in Aus and regularly for tracks being to heavy. Follow Victorian racing over winter and you'll see.

Ok Huey here's the challenge Tell the world they are lieing Then when they do you for slander you will see the video and exactly what happened. Put your money where you mouth is

Stop with the conspiracy theories.The Cameras don't lie. What they said happened is exactly what happened. People get distracted and make mistakes unfortuantley It was all there on camera. There is no conspiracy this time.

Have to pass on the Ale. I'll give you some advice though. In this day and age all you young kids crave attention. Social media is proof of that. Everyone wants to stand out and be a "someone". Sometimes the best thing to be is yourself. You don't need the attention of the masses. Success in life isn't how many "likes" you get on social media or how much dribble you post. Its being comfortable in your own skin and happy doing whatever your doing and becoming a better human being. I am unsure why you young kids of today feel the need to hide behind a computer screen and take shots at people who are doing something in their life.Is it a jealousy thing? does it make you feel like a Mr Big? i don't understand it. It appears to me people need to get out from behind the computer screens where they can pretend to be someone they are not. Get outside and be yourself and find a hobby or something to do that you enjoy and live your own life. Instead we have an entitled generation that crave attention,want $20 an hour minimum wage but don't want to earn it,want a 4 day working week,want to spend all they earn but complain they can't afford house,want to legalise cannabis and have a generation of unproductive "stoners" on $20 an hour? Can't see what could possibly go wrong their. Yes i can see a great future coming up. Please get yourself a productive hobby that isn't bagging "do-ers". Leave the Myers,Mcilroys,Wenns,Parkes etc alone. They are out there living and giving life a go. Sure they might make mistakes (1st 1 in over a year for Wenn and McIlroy according to the report) but we all do. No matter how good your going your next 1 is just around the corner. And thats a good thing as you learn from mistakes. Giving people a serve on social media may make you feel good for a bit but its like a high from a drug mate. It will go away and you'll still be in your own unhappy life looking for the next high. Get off the computer,go find something productive to do that makes you feel happy and good about your life and keep at it. True happiness comes from solving your own problems and bettering yourself,not from trying to bring other people down. Hard work (dont BLUDGE) sacrafice,making mistakes,self improvement and not feeling the need to hide behind a screen and take cheap shots at people trying their best is what you should be aiming at in life to find TRUE HAPPINESS. Life is to short to be a dickhead rapt up worrying about everyone else and their mistakes and neglecting yours. Mistakes are the greatest tool for learning/self improvement. Turn off the computer and go grab life by the balls. I retire from this website now,i probably have a few good years left in me to continue to enjoy my passions and help people where i can(never have a cheap shot)

Who is this geezer who posts all this rubbish. I only just came across this site today and have to say anyone who reads this mans crap will be dumber for it. The smallest dog barks the loudest and this guy is clearly an attention seeker. Just look at all the rubbish topics he brings up. And leave the Amateur riders alone. They don't get training and are risking their necks riding for free. They will learn from their mistakes,as we all do. Pull your head in
