The sand meets are midweek and are normally restricted to the lesser (or more suited) horses - I think the time has come to say VCR is dead and move to DVD as there way more options if we grass this course and have the Poly as our all-weather track - Remember too in Summer the storms at the Vaal are lethal while we could still race on poly at Turffs - Maybe have the Poly as the Winter course and Vaal Grass to complement it and give Turffs grass a rest until Spring

Agree, Mr H.
Neigh, whatever the lab finds, we have to implement it. The more scientific the lab is, the more scientific we must become. How do we measure that science ? Take into account the weather , the temp and the wind factor... How do we apply the science ?

and those tests cost to implement for relatively few horses(they may find Poly suites them too?)
