They are lucky that winter is late and the frost hasn't bitten otherwise it would be as brown as the Kalahari

I have no interest in looking at the track, I listen to my trainer and the jockeys that ride my horses

The jockeys I can maybe understand but the trainer! He has no formal qualifications even in training horses, his/ her trade is learnt from their predecessor. So what qualifies them to comment on the tracks?

Has you trainer ever said "sorry Tigershark I fucked up" when you were told your horse would win and it didn't.

I'm sure the excuses would include some of the following; we had a bad draw, the jockey didn't follow instructions, the track is stuffed, amongst the common reasons

I concede...

diligaf you are being so hurtful im actually in tears :lol: grow up and post your name ,,..how many racecourses have lafferty and rivaland been track manager at and what varsity qualifications have they got that makes them more qualified than ts trainer?im hearing you got your job via nepotism what a surprize

I cant believe Millions of Rands worth of horses run on such below standard track , would you drive your Lamborghini on a dirt road ?

Surely GC can pay an independent Specialist to advise on Track issues ?
Most people are only concerned about the track , and not advising how to fix problem , but highlighting a problem exists , which is not being admitted or rectified
Maybe they can reduce the salaries/money paid to their gravy train passengers
