understood .... biggest meeting in the Cape ....but then why not program meetings at Durbanville for the week leading up to the met? Surely there are no horses needing a prep run for Met day a week before the event. Not fair on the punter and Jockeys/Trainers/Owners

Pity mate.. but then other days it pays off again.. I am always one way too conservative for a P^ that is why I stopped playing it atleast getting reward for consistency in the PA if more than 1 qualify in a leg... so I find the PA is more profitable and probable for me

No the just the Saturday before the big race - Drop a feature

Irrespective of the false rail position, Kenilworth new course is probably the fairest course around the turn to horses with wide draws. The wide false rail does change tactics a bit , and unfortunately can cause a bit of bunching on the outside, but miles better than racing at Durbanville. From a punting point of view, the setup is announced in the morning and you just need to recognize that horses from outside draws can win around the turn.

The feature was up the straight....no need to drop anything.....save the course for the big day.plenty features to look after on the day....
