Happy Sunrise Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Why is that? I see they emphasize the track is in great order so what is going on? Counter Punch will be beside himself with no workouts. I fear for his well being. Don't tell the Messara report is closing Methven ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 This is weird. Why would they not go ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westview Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Over the winter we did some maintenance on the o'Reilly corner (corner past winning post) to give it as much time as possible to recover, there are no workouts. In saying that a few locals have trained on the track and it is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westview Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 2 weeks of bad weather would be a problem, the long range forecast is bad weather in the middle of this week then fine for the next couple of weeks.id say 99% no problem 1% go to another track if we have too. Happy how about you do a good weather dance and shorten up the odds for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
