Chief Stipe Posted November 4, 2024 Author Share Posted November 4, 2024 How can a track be a Good 4 with a moisture reading of 30.9% yet on raceday a Soft 5 with a moisture reading of 30.6%? According to the moisture meter data the track got drier yet the rating is softer? Did the grass grow two inches or something? No penetromer numbers either.

Thomass Posted November 6, 2024 Share Posted November 6, 2024 The moisture readings are a crock of shit When the 'ratings' are related to the actual penotrometer readings why don't they give the pen readings? Oz give you, shear, moisture and pen. Under the new Oz rating system an H10 can have a difference of over 80 lengths and punter's are required to guess how much rain has fallen to differentiate between an H 10 that's 'Holding" and/or Loose 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
