Scottsville Sunday 21st Aug

45mls already in the area. A trainer was at the circus situated in the middle of the course last night and pouring. Cold day forecast. Can't see them racing at Scottsville IMHO.

Meeting is abandoned. 60mls on course.

Looks like I'm going to pull out the dart board and study for for Kimberley

Gold Circus

I wonder how the clowns performed in the yielding going ? :lol:

At least they got the Circus ON track now :lol:

I think we should blame GC for the rain at the Cricket

I've been asked to ask why no switch to poly ?

not sure if the cricket ball would be effective LOL

They could not have one ball bowled at the cricket because of the outfield being so wet( also GC's fault? :blush: ) The grass has just been scarified and plugs put in the annual spring treatment I think they call it. Can you imagine what the grass would have looked like being so soft and wet and with the tractor dragging the pens on and off it between races. An absolute mess. Impossible to let that happen.

Craig why was a call not made on the Friday to move to the Poly? Every weather site had rain forecast Saturday and Sunday.

Sorry Craig ,but your "Gold Circles fault " quote,in relation to the cricket, is exactly why You guys get no respect ..............its stupid and the act of a "Dummy spitting" tantrum of perceived victims rather than a sensible logical response!
It would seem that it is clearly to deflect from answering the sensible question of "If the weather forecast indicated that racing was in danger on the turf ,and presumably you knew you had done the scarification and plugs!!!!!!!"... then why was a timeous decision not made to race on the Poly?
