Robalan Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 There will probably be even more holes in the track for horses to slip on than there was on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodie Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 What about the state of the “Crossing” on the first day? An absolute shocker, they went up and then down! How can course attendants do such an abysmal job of something so simple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robalan Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I don't know how so many owners, and especially trainers, could be so desperate to race a horse on a track like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbury Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I cannot find any double price winners at all.lucky there is 10k first fours every race so I didn't waste my time:).I hope they race in the mud as I looked at weather it's awful wind and rain.light drivers have a advantage.

mikeynz Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) One wonders if the Westport races would go on in the same scenario, bearing in mind there are no gallops there these days. Edited February 5, 2022 by mikeynz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next Gallops meeting at Hawera is not until 27th April 2022. If they had bothered to irrigate Hawera over the summer to keep the grass growing they wouldn't have had a problem. But irrigation costs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
