aquaman Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Really, did anybody seriously miss racing in NZ yesterday. Who would want to bet on a synthetic surface or a mud fest where ever the other meeting was. They did us all a favour by canning those meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did enjoy watching ALL the OZ racing. I also enjoyed the informed build-ups and post race interviews and comments. Their presenters leave Tracksides for dead when it come to knowledge and colour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like synthetic tracks at all. Just looks all wrong. Prefer the Organic version of racing rather than the Artificial version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your desperate head down to the track and go for a run on it , your allowed to exercise . If anybody questions you about running on the gold plated surface just tell them you are feeling fragile and it is for your mental well being . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
