Greyville Wednesday

Hearing it will be moved , but with rain predicted in Greyville area will it be poly or Grass ?

Been moved

Following the abandonment of the last two races at Scottsville yesterday and the jockeys’ concerns with the going on the turn between the 800 and 600 metre marks, Gold Circle has decided to move Wednesday’s (23 December 2015) race meeting to Greyville with all races remaining on the turf.

In addition the two races not run at Scottsville on Sunday will be moved, as carded, to the Greyville turf track this coming Saturday, 26 December 2015.

Why should I have expected anything less? International visitor yesterday, hugely disappointed with the abandonment of the last two especially with some potentially decent accies going into both and now my plans for Wednesday completely scuppered. Thanks SA racing, should be very proud of yourselves and the product you dish up. Not. Definitely Not. Pull your farking fingers out and start doing a professional job. Inexcusable imo.

I said it on this forum 3 years AGO that the day clairwood was sold was the beginning of the end for natal racing and sadly I have been proved correct with several fcukups in the last few years been done by the gc board..nobody gets fired nobody takes responsibility they just carry on ...THE CARPET JUST GETS BIGGER AND THE FCUKING MEDIOCRITY CONTINUES

Everyone at the highest levels in GC now know that there should not have been racing around the turn at Scottsville yesterday. Some very annoyed people up there.

Well if that is the case will the NHRA take serious action against GC? If it is proven that the Jocks were correct and that horses and riders were at risk then the NHRA has a duty to sanction. Let's see what happens.

has to be accountability craig surely the turn should have checked out by stipes jockeys gc officials long before the meeting ?these drainage lines as per the official stipes reports didn't appear over night...

What should have happened is that 2/4 horses should have galloped there around the turn on Thursday and feedback from the jockeys taken into account then.

This is so logical yet the illogical was applied. Why? I say again - this cavalier attitude by operators would not be present if there was no Foreign Racing to boost turnover and the local product needed to be sustained to keep them in jobs.

nothing different
amazing how much talent we have in our country and we always end up looking silly
