So do you think the winter gallopers might race all summer and the summer ones all winter on the poly which is always good?

Turning Turf tracks into hydroponic sand/turf tracks and AWT's. Actually it is noticeable that those who train on the Cambridge AWT perform better at Ellerslie than most. BUT that form doesn't transfer to a Good 4 or 3 OZ turf track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccarton horses can work on it every day and become well- conditioned to the surface....which is excellent at the moment. Now that poly track is your fav…. that nag won well. Mind you, first time it’s been up front so about time you woke up and realised it’s a huge advantage in front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it came from we have no idea. Do you think I enjoy watching him flat as a tack out the back and running home honestly but from too far away? One of his owners was buried today. If you gave any thoughts about that, the wee guy might have had a bit of help. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in every way I can't wait to look in the mirror Cause I get better lookin' each day It found the speed cause it found a reasonable surface to let down. Always had a bit of ability but you've been running it on unsatisfactory turf tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some positive rides today are paying divs, easy punting on those that have good form on track, far better betting proposition than the grass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen , it very good racing today....very competitive ! A mixture of experienced synthetic track runners , first uppers on surface and Northern imports all showing their liking for conditions. It so obvious ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes been a great day, think it’s brilliant for winter racing, as some trainers horses obviously thrive on it, could be pressure to run races on the poly outside winter? Track stats for some of those horses are really getting impressive, no way would you get those stats from grass track, the punters friend track.   Maybe those that didn’t support the trials in April which were cancelled… may be feeling silly. Get those horses out of the gate, train them up, get some speed horses from nth island that have reached their mark….easy, I might take up training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
