No turf racing in Natal and PE till 24 October

10 years 9 months ago - 10 years 9 months ago

We were told the Poly would give trainers more options. They forgot to mention grass would not be one of them.

PE will go over 2 months without a grass meeting !

I would like a few trainers to tell us if their grass horses run to form on Poly generally or are you having to rest them until the grass is used again

I thought PE raced on Grass the other week ?

Not ideal but I'm sure in the wider picture it gives the crap turf tracks the best possible chance to recover?

its last chance saloon for greyville grass track if they don't get it right this time after almost 30 months of fcuking around then its time for the main lads to take a hike ...to have both grass tracks under repair at once is poor planning

Scottsville was looking pretty good without being completely scarified.

Last PE grass meeting was 1 August so its close on 3 months wait. The crap turf track would be fine if Arlington was still open. We going around in circles bemoaning the closure of courses.

I am told that Arlington has not even been sold but maybe some PE folk can elaborate on that.
