Lots of big words in ATR release so I got AI to summarise -
Summary:
Issue: Auckland Thoroughbred Racing (ATR) and New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) address safety concerns after the abandonment of a race meeting at Ellerslie Racecourse.
Action Plan: Immediate steps include vertidraining, coring the track, and removing grass tufs to improve the track surface.
Future Plans: Trials on April 15 will determine if racing can resume on April 20. A heavy renovation post-season will prevent similar issues.
Commitment: ATR emphasizes safety and excellence, aiming to optimize racing conditions for all participants and enthusiasts.
I then asked AÍ if they thought track will be safe after thiscrort -
Yes, the immediate plan of action includes removing root mass, utilizing sand to dust the surface, and ongoing maintenance measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the racing surface at Ellerslie Racecourse.
