And is a slippery track the issue? And if the problem is a sprinkler malfunction then who was responsible for making sure it was working correctly? Because according to Messara these 'retain' tracks are the creme de la creme of NZ racing and much the best run so who is going to put their hand up ESPECIALLY given they, based in your claims, knew this has been a problem for the last few days. Why did they not check that the part of the track was safe early this morning so they could cancel before everyone left home? Who will pay the float fees for all the 150 plus horses carted there today? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally an irrigation system has ONE tap well away from any sprinkler. Was it left on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it left on? no sounds like it drained out from the bottom , as they had been trying to work out what the problem was as i believe very little water was coming from the spinkler that was affected till last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jess Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Please don't talk about leaks and the National Party in the same thread. We know how that scenario plays out ... and it's even less of a happy ending than one abandoned set of trials at Te Aroha .... ?
