Agree , looks like a jump & finish where you land track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard any feedback but looks like it raced pretty nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freda Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 It will be as the others...it will suit some, not others. As do many tracks/surfaces. It is the notion that wet trackers, set for a grass meeting with soft/heavy ground, will happily switch to a track where they will be required to produce 22 sec final sectionals. That is a flawed premise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a flawed premise. That flawed premise in itself shows a lack of foresight around why we have these AWT's. The Cambridge trials being cancelled and traininers heading toward grass surfaces with their charges is a fairly conclusive consensus on the useage and future of these surfaces for racedays and trail meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
