I see in the stewards report he was referred to the vet for assessment but also no stand down imposed? Have they been learning a thing or two from the wanganui reports?

Jay4 30 Report post Posted June 23, 2016 I'm guessing Jape it's to finish early to make it easier for races there the next day? Does it have an effect on their turnover at all? I know I can't see at least half the card because of work commitments and therefore don't have a bet. And I'm sure the tab pubs would be pretty quiet until just after 5. tonkatime 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have a guess the tab pushed for an earlier start/finish as for the last couple weeks sandown have been starting an hour earlier as well, creating scheduling problems. Sandown are trialing this over winter with the trainers/handlers the main focus. (The earlier starts mean they avoid peak hour traffic on the way to the track and also an earlier finish on the long cold nights). I have heard only positive feedback from trainers but mixed views from gamblers. however apparently there was no change to turnover for the first week at least. In fact it was probably better off as thick fog rolled in during race 12 and if had been run at normal times the last 3 races may have been called off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh77 88 Report post Posted July 4, 2016 How is it that chch on a Thursday night high grade meeting can't combine C4/5 520 mtr race ? 3 C3 sprints 3 C4 sprints 7 noms received by the club for a straight open class middle distance race yet they are incapable of making up a top grade race !! Seriously what a joke ! JETSUN 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
