Brodie Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Far better idea running in a Saturday night anyway! Racing at Alexandra Park against Addington on a Friday night can not be advantageous? Does anyone know if the Auckland turnover has increased since going head to head with Addington? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it is on the home bend at Auckland tonight where the camber is steepest they got some. Kilmore had the same problem after a downpour.

Gammalite Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 15 minutes ago, Chief Stipe said: How long does it take to fix it? Usually the heavy Mesh drag can deal with it quickly , and they can often get a smooth surface (to have it not like corrugated iron) even during a meeting after a downpour. but if the ruts go too deep after particularly heavy run off , you need the grader with a big blade that would take several hours. with follow up spreading/ sealing/ compacting and that. Kilmore transferred to another nearby track for that days racing, after the damage in photo. Like Alexandra Park should be ok tomorrow , they were good to go the next day again.

Nowornever Posted 40 minutes ago Share Posted 40 minutes ago Not much point having a bet there now. Bookies will open the odds up again on the closing prices for the horses they had priced wrong. They get a free throw at the stumps. There were some big movers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stand would be appropriate at Alexandra Park or have they recently downsized 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
