Chief Stipe Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 I wonder when was Riccarton's penetrometer last recalibrated? Quote

As I said in regard to that were the Jockey's asked? With regard to the penetometer calibration I'm questioning the G3 on the 3rd of October. Perhaps it should have been upgraded that day! Quote

Chief Stipe Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 If you have been following my posts on tracks over the last few years you will acknowledge that I've given Te Rapa a few serves. In my opinion same problem on Saturday different location. At least Te Rapa upgraded from D4 to G3. However Te Rapa on Saturday was a different class of horse to those running at Riccarton on 3rd of October - maidens were running faster times at Riccarton! Also we didn't see clouds of dust at Te Rapa that we saw at Riccarton. I think the issue is we have set a target of G3 and everything has be "re-aligned" to achieve that target. Riccarton on 3rd October wasn't a G3 it was a G2 - Te Rapa on Saturday wasn't a D4 it was a G3. That leads me to believe that the measurement system is all out of whack. When was the last time that the measurement tools were re-calibrated? Quote
