Apparently moving the rail from the classic track

Last race scheduled to go off at 18:20 - might just be able to see something - if it does not cloud over :ohmy:

What a circus - government departments can put up a better show
Seeing that SP cannot give comment (as the powers to be say ) maybe Charl and turftalk can investigate this for us

Sorry wrong message

It's not the false rail it's just the rail, it had been removed and needs to be put back up so we can race

Sorry for wrong info

The fact that we all knew that the course had not knitted properly on the back stretch means nothing. It means so little that we were not requested to gallop the course before today's meeting....

I just went to Emperor's Palace - they told me I could not use the machines as they had not been serviced for weeks - NEVER HAPPEN - that's why Racing is dying - too many people worried about Rands and Cents but lacking in Common Sense - I have stated so many times that it should be MANDATORY for two horses to gallop at 8am before any meeting and nonsense like this would be avoided - losing punters should approach the Gambling Board and ask them to force Phumelela to refund their stakes as the race conditions were not changed by an Act Of God but by the negligence of the men and women that control the venue.
We punters are so forgiving - these types of things happen so regularly and we just accept it ...

The drop in turnovers says punters are no longer prepared to just suck it up Mr H.
