Trojan Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago So Riccarton Turf gets transferred to Riccarton Poly due to heavy rain and a heavy 10. Some Owners and Trainers moan. Fair enough. Rotorua heavy rain and a heavy 10 today. Fields have good numbers and scratchings minimal yet some people are complaining that the track will be stuffed.

supporter61 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Do you think it may have more to do with the amount of scheduled racing on each track over the winter months? And the ability to repair in time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ability to repair in time? How much "repair time" does a track need? At the end of the day as long as the track is safe who cares we race?!

Seriously! Obviously you don't own thoroughbreds, or more correctly them in training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supporter61 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I feel that is a bit of a short sighted reply. There is a lot to consider. The track condition prior to racing and the expected damage and time to repair. The time until the next meeting and the quality of racing you have programed for a track in coming months. I can remember a few years ago the conversations around why do we race on these bogs , better to turn most of the horses out , trainers will go broke if winter racing stops . It seems we just find different things to complain about and its easier to do if you have a short memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If mine, please note that I am now off to watch the trots at Alexandra Park so won't be responding tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
