VAAL TUESDAY 09 APRIL 2024

How's the weather looking? Going is soft with pen 28 earlier today, and rain is forecast

Forecast
Cloudy with 80% chance of showers, 15-23 degs, 19-39 km/h North Easterly Cross/Tail wind. Sunset @ 17h58

Also hearing some trainers have missed plenty work

After Saturday Results don't think too many will be running to take 4/10 on Buffalo Storm Cody in the 1st , Cymric run to Mount Pinatubo looks very decent and this is Def the value in the race 

The betting in the second is also upside down , Golden Chandelier 17/10 beats Valieva 11/2 by 1.5 lengths at level weights now Valieva gets 5kg , at the price I'm with Valieva

Race 7 Kittboys Girl 8/1  , third run locally,  alumites back on over its best trip , merit rating dropping all the time , looks worth a bet 
best of luck to all 

Might wait for weather update 

Pls note : 

Gallops will be taking place shortly on both tracks at the Vaal , thereafter a decision will be made on whether racing goes ahead.

Vaal 9/4/23

Racing today has been moved from the Vaal main track , to the Vaal Classic Track.

This moves takes place after gallops this morning , and it was unanimously agreed , the Classic Track is raceable while the Vaal Main Track was inconsistent.

Unfortunately , it’s currently overcast and there is a possibility of further rainfall which could jeopardise the move, but we are giving the meeting the best possible chance to go ahead and according to our weather app , it should start to clear up from 11am.

Distance Changes as follows :
Races 6,7,8 will now be run over 1450m:
All other distances remain as is.

Voluntary scratchings close at 8:30.

Race times remain as is.

It will be soft (or even heavy) for sure - depending on more rain I don't think the meeting will go ahead; interesting though that some runners have been scratched due to a 'change of track' - would have thought that 1000m on the óld track is the same (down the straight) as 1000m on the Classic track 

Probably more about the going than the track.

Currently not a cloud in the Sky around the Vaal track.
