You can't blame this on trainers, jockeys or people of the past. Yes but which Manager. NZTR? RACE? Fat chance.

Special Agent Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 3 minutes ago, Wingman said: We cannot answer the Why? however it is also the reason the track managers cannot be held to blame. Move the rail out and get on with it is not the track managers decision. Why would a Track Manager not decide to move the rail? What is the Track Manager paid to do? Manage the track I would have thought. Management of a racing club and racecourse includes CEO, Committee, Racing Manager and Track Manager. I think the buck stops with one of those.

I gave you a bouquet on a post of yours the other day, now with the degree of naivety you are displaying consider yourself now receiving a brickbat. Smack yourself with it to your hearts content. FACT. There was a problem area 3 metres out around the final bend area so to avoid that the rail went out to 6m. The track manager moves the rail after consultation but it is done at at the high levels of management at RACE and NZTR. The track Manager does not dictate in the final decision as to race or not.

Someone to blame Just like you've found Bryce Mildon at Hastings to blame based on the advice amd misinformation from who knows. So you find these scapegoats and their heads are rolled. Then what? What are you going to do at Hastings? What are you going to do at Awapuni that hasn't already been done? If you are going to employ someone else who are they?
