Boxie Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I heard through the grapevine that the sudden deterioration in the surface at Te Rapa was a management cock up. Anyone else heard that? Quote
hesi Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I've heard a quite different story but unless the source posts details I am not at liberty to divulge Quote
Poisoned Dwarf Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 they put a lot more sand on than was ordered and doh nobody checked when the delivery man arrived Quote

Seems all nz gallops tracks are hit and miss, everyone does what they like. On a positive, watched a couple of races from Oamaru yesterday, looked ok compared to some tracks recently. Quote

Great question - either answer is damning - but if it wasn't a mistake - well do we have some serious base issues - incredible that this plays our a week before The Report - you have to wonder at the timing - or do you?
