www.metservice.com/towns-cities/auckland/manukau only had 13mm of rain prior aswell, and this track is supposedly an all weather track

It's been raining solidly and quite heavily for at least 24 hours. The track was never going to be usable tonight. 13mm? Really is that all?

All weather track, they should have prepared better. Thats just slack.

Its really quite laughable to be honest. ...one would think that at probably around midday today when the track staff worked out that they couldnt even drive a machine on the track without the fear of it sinking up to its axles that it was quite likely they couldnt prepare the track in time for the race's...yes or no? So what time did the stipe turn up and decide that dogs cant run on a bowl of sand soup? Surely to god there must be one indian out of a whole pile of chiefs who can make the call and say "hey this track is beyond repair within the given time so lets call it quits" surely there must be? The stipes cant make the call cause they actually have no idea what a safe, unsafe or down right unraceable surface looks like and thats been proven time and time again.....who gives a toss about the trainers anyway aye.....wont be long and you will be able to buy an apartment there and reminisce about the dog track that was once right under your back porch.

Yes Slim, it should have been obvious by mid to late morning that racing was not going to happen, especially as the rain isn't going to ease until tomorrow. Not the curator's fault, he's not a magician, but wasn't a hard call to be made by someone, surely.

Because they thought it would be easier to tell all the participants personally at the track

Maybe a few hours earlier when trainers were pre race feeding and sorting all the other non racers at Home would if been lovely. YEAH RITE!!

IMO the problem lies with the track and the club . Surely it must need some remedial work ( I.e drainage etc) done to it . This is not the first or second or probably third time in the last year that the track has been really bad after a days rain. Are other tracks in the country as bad as this with just a days rain on it ? Just my opinion .
