Do you agree with the jocks...

Let's compare apples to apple's . We don't have the same weather conditions as the U K .
Tracks there are built to suit their racing conditions and the jocks are used to riding in those conditions. We are so quick to criticise
But would we put our lives in danger. I DON'T THINK SO
NO BODY WANTS TO LOSE OUT ON MONEY BUT SAFETY COMES FIRST BOTH FOR THE JOCKS AND THE HORSE
AS A OWNER TO DON'T WANT YOUR HORSE TO GET INJURED CAUSE IT WILL COST U AND AS A JOCK INJURY IS LOSE OF INCOME

This sounds weird and I can't understand why, but there is a story that this could have been a premeditated action by the jocks , titch you heard anything ?

Definitely not Smanga, had he been aware he would definitely have "missed" his plane and Muzi was on pain killers hoping to ride the winner in the 8th so the they were both unaware of any plan if there was one in place...

I know. I was being facetious.

I'm pissed off they never side any thing about the grass before the race that there were problems with it,I lost my money in cold blood ,with a track that was not fit to race on.

Irrespective of the track condition, the fact that the key principles in the industry cannot reach consensus on such a basic issue is disturbing, to say the least.
Abandonment of a sporting event due to adverse weather conditions is not uncommon. I think racing needs a system to make such decisions. This is no small matter; the lives of the jockeys, horses and the punter's money are at stake here.

Titch still toiling to see any bad ground or false steps

those pics dont show it but with the new sprinkler system fitted there are very visible marks across the track and the main problem area is at the 700m mark....

Thanks Pirates and yes you have been highlighting this for many moons
