Flamingo Park 3 Dec 2012

This meeting has been abandoned.

What an Absolute disgrace . The trainers had a meeting earlier whereby the majority said to try and keep the meeting rather make a decision early tomorrow am. Jaap Visser, Tienie Prinsloo and Stef Miller staff were helping drain the track. The course manager was on his way with staff to keep turning the track during the evening when the decision was made.

There is a 50/50 chance that it may rain again and they wouldn't be able to race but if there was no more rain then racing would be able to go ahead.

Why make the decision 12 hours too early ?

what is the procedure for this decision?

How come i see them racing in the mud in the US of A, yet our sandtracks can't handle some water?

Southwell has been closed for a month due to flooding..

but i can Gtee this if racing was 50/50 they would have tried their fucking hardest to get the show on the road in the UK..

People who just work there think of themselves ,get a day of dats why decision is made so early, what about the owners who need to pay bills not interested, the owner is not treated fairly. I would like to know what happens to the stakes that was to be distributed for race day as dat race doesn't happened.

Mentor - spot on!!!

Good question about the stakes - can anyone please explain what happens to the stakes for todays cancelled meeting?

i would think nothing? as there would be no revenue being received during the meeting, thus no stakes payouts

Did anyone get an update from anyone in the Kimb area,if the track would have been raceable today?
