Vaal Sand Thursday

Good to see the unsung heroes of the game getting a last hurrah ..

Discus below

Work riders -Should therefore be all fair and every jock trying.

Brisk look at the card and

Race 1- Le Clos -should win .
race 4 -Rain in Africa .

Odds are very skinny though.

Was sound cloud not heavily backed before it was scratched at the gates a couple weeks back?

Confirmed. 7/2 a very good price in a pretty poor field. Ziggy's boy the only other horse worth a mention outside of the first timer.

R1- The Badge 5/2 Will finish the 6/10 favorite by a nose.
Hewitson Rides well.

R3- Rock On 5/1 e/w value , Maleka 1 top ride for day!

R4- Rain In Africa 1/1 can get beaten again .danger 25/1 Arrive at 5. And Angie The Rebel 6/1 .

R5- Angel of Mercy 5/10 put it in the frame , Ndlovu is a strong rider

R7- Cervantes 1/1 Tarry and Hewitson that the dbl for them

R8- Seattle Spice 7/2 Ndlovu wil go for his dbl.

Interesting that Sound Cloud is making his debut in a Workriders sand race, (TWITTERS full brother and cost a fortune if i remember correctly )

For once I can not agree, how the 'people in power' can close a track without a viable alternative even in the budget - boggles the mind - and where will all those sand specialists go - very sad state of affairs imo

will there be any point in keeping the Vaal turf track open ? Has to be the most biased track in the country and boring to watch them run up that straight

I am not mad about the Vaal 'outside' track either - and we can debate the 'bias', but if I'm correct the Newmarket track in England is also a straight track - does not seem to be too many complaints about racing on that

Point is imo closing a track is always bad news, especially for owners - just another nail in the coffin for the 'small' owner
