Just browsing the Winning Form and noticed the above. How can this be possible for a new course that just opened last week, or is the stats above for the old sand track.

Surely they could put in the extra effort to rectify and keep seperate stats for the New Turf course.

On another note, I see Strydom is carded to ride again. Welcome back Striker!!

Think it's now time to reunite the inner and outer tracks back to their old glory.The dreaded Berlin Wall must fall #!!! :silly:

Winning form were calling it the sand track last week

Good to see Striker back with a winner


RACE 2 SHEET WEAVER

RACE 4 WINTER BREEZE

RACE 5 TAHINI

RACE 7 ONE YESTERDAY

RACE 9 KANONKOP

Wrong winner Bob

Winter Breeze and Pippi Shortsock are both honest contenders with good form.With Striker taking the ride on WB and with the bettet draw is probably preferred.Hopefully the virus in LouisG's yard is a thing of the past. I will include both horses in all my bets.
In the 2nd I will again take Sheet Weaver. He has been costly to follow but I make him a big runner.
In the 9th the ever reliable Commodore Al is my choice.

I am taking a chance with a Woodruff Yankee today
R1 Dutch East India 9/2
R3 Nilgiri Hills 7/2
R4 Princess Aurora 33/10
R7 Tee Jay Ar 6/1

Was Winter Breeze not the horse Strydom fell from?

Eish what a pro jumping back on

Yip Bob it is the same filly that Piete fell off....The dogs have barked as follows , the talk at track this morning -
S.Ferreira in race 1 has a rocket..... We thought that we will go close with Bonnie Dawn.....small racy filly, lots of speed but only over virus a few weeks ago and may be a bit green still as not much grass during virus.
In race 4, apparently the Woodruff filly has come on many lengths and will be the one to beat.

Have been told that Commodore Al will need the run but still include in exotics.
R5 Crown Of Roses must be included in all bets.

1st one 5/2 into 13/10

Simple if the trainer wants to back a first timer to win teach it to jump
