From a trainer
"Pathetic!
We can't even feed our grooms or get a drink on track at the Vaal today.. They had 4 hours to arrange food and beverages"

Warning to punters
" Message from a trainer
They have only cut one side of the tracks grass, it's shorter on one side than the other"
They basically saying it's like racing on two different underfoot conditions

They once cancelled racing in Bloemfontein for the grass being too long.
Something similar happened might have happened at the Vaal before.
Well, at Cheltenham they watered the course on Tuesday....
And you know what happened yesterday

Years ago the track manager was warned off for cutting and rolling one side of the vaal track to benefit a particular horse drawn on that side... I can't recall the trainer but it could have been a danie burger trained horse

It has good form at the Vaal. It may win too. Zilzaal has won from the Mks Pride formline.
