He prepared the fucking thing. Of course he would say it is fine and they are too lazy to check before risking the health and safety of horses and riders. Another case of the crash test dummy approach.

How do you test it...

How about you trial a couple of horses before meeting starts.

They usually do now....the jockeys don't mind doing it

Yesterday there appeared to be a very small piece of ground around the turn that had inconsistent footing...according to the Stipe

I noticed the grass was very long on the troublesome bend, forgive my ignorance, but would this not hide troublesome spots such as holes or inconsistent patches. I realise a bit of growth is good if only to keep moisture in the soil, but the grass was up to the top of the jocks boots. Also would long grass contribute to slipping. Just the observations of a layman when it comes to prepping a TB track.
