Vaal Today

Racing moved to Vaal today

Thank you Mr H, must say weather was poor again during the night, pity was going to make a trip to the big T, we always have Sunday

Sand or Grass Mr H?

says sand - TAKE ALL YOUR DOUGH AND BACK SHUFFLES IF THAT IS THE CASE!!!!
Racemeeting has been moved to the Vaal Sand racecourse due to a waterlogged track,fields and times will remain the same. Races 6,7 and 8 will be run over 1400m.
(I'm sure it is GRASS but someone on the Coleman Diet working this am!!!)

Grass, as far as I know, but in the usual spirit of slapdash and incompetence the TAB phone service is confusing the daylights out of everyone by saying it's on sand. They probably don't even know that the Vaal now has inner and outer turf courses.

True never know whether I'm coming or going and now it's just got worse, makes a mockery of trying to study form on Friday nights !

Tellytrack now says it's on the turf track at the Vaal.

Why a racing person has not been put in charge of disseminating info always astounds me - They have no knowledge or intrest in the game and the prononciation of the horses names often has me reaching for my book to check if i've called the correct number - Me thinks Mr Att is going to be in for a shock in Aus as they won't accept that type of service there

You're right on that score, Mr H. I'm sorry, but we're too amateurish in too many ways. Worse, no-one who could do something about it seems to give a continental.

Sheesh, go to bed and wake up to a different world... Let's try again... Take 2 ...

FormStar's best bet at the Vaal is Jet Trail in Race 8, but it could start at restrictive odds. Value for money could come from Shuffles (ignore last) in the 5th and Mystic (down 2 divisions) in 7th. Both have been overlooked in the early betting.

Donington Park finally breaks its maiden!

Bernard leaving all his energy for PP? Come on guy...
