fradds comment regarding scotsville

after winning the 2nd race he commented that even frankel would battle to run a place at scotsville <

Better get use to it, will be the flag ship of KZN racing in the years to come...

Did not hear Robbies comments.

I love Scottsville ! I can walk from the members bar straight into the casino and I don't need to worry about the going . But in all honesty why is Scottsville deemed to be so bad? Is it cause some racing managers and some jocks don't win there or what. If it's that bad how come they keep going back? If its so crap don't go there and don't risk your horses or your life ? Lots of talk yet they all come back . Also never heard what he said but it seems the Vaal sand is a much better surface hmmmm?

Imo - from watching on TV only (and I really couldn't care one way or the other) Scotsville has improved earlier in the year, but on the Sprint day the going looked diabolical and I have heard from one of jocks that the course was full of holes; one of the juv fillies in 'our' stable (who hasn't been to Scotsville for 5 or 6 years) got back with a knee chip - which could have happened at another track as well, but still .......don't think I will let a horse of mine go there if I have anything to say about it.

But to be fair, Gauteng courses can also get pretty bad - especially during winter and early spring (before the rains) - problem is unless one falls into the multi-millionaire category, horses have to earn their keep - so they need to race; imo more effort (money) should be spent to keep the tracks as horse-friendly as possible

Frodo with you on this one bud ! Clearly we have problems with some of the surfaces but as an owner of a horse or the guy who has to ride its your choice . We have heard comments from the trainers the racing managers and the jocks. And after hearing about horses not able to be looked after at the start yesterday the incompetence continues in an industry that needs some help. I am cynical but I think that an oval track covered with a large tent could save a lot of meetings especially as the clowns in control would keep us all amused in between races. Sorry I'm just tired!

Be carefull with that large tent,it might just invite some hardened punters to become vagrants:D
On the other hand we may have full racecourses?:S

Your horses always come back with joints after racing there

why have a track that only runs on one side.....if you can't get to the inside you are doomed. they should have sold this one an kept clwd.
