Nerula 1,389 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 Had a look at this today. and it seems like the work is finishes. The tracvk has been heavily oversown and there has been a great strike of fine grass. The traansverse drains are at right anmgles and the lighter green shows them up. The fall on the straight is toward the outer rail and I assume the perimeter drain is around there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insider 3,874 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 Looking good. Hopefully though, the main drain is on the inner, because if it is around the perimeter [outside] then that is still were the jockeys will still all be heading, as that will be the driest! Surely they haven't been that stupid Nerula, or have they been? ADM 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leggy 4,005 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 Surely not. I'm hoping that's an optical illusion created by Nerula's camera. If it is they'll be all going to the outside alright because as P4P says they won't be able to balance up and change legs when they straighten. Pop back with your laser Nerula and please report back that the fall to the outside is an illusion. They couldn't have changed the camber on the turn from outside in to inside out could they? Be like riding on a skate park! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trump 2,741 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 That’s why Moonee Valley is so good. Strathayr Track with a camber that allows horses to come 8 wide on the turn and have every chance to win. Battle Heights was one of the best wins! Centrofold 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerula 1,389 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Really not a good pic from the iPhone. Now I go to photos on the Mac and cant find how to level it. I would say the track contour is as original and no Heds in a farming context it isnt patchy. Looks a great take to me. On another note diggers are on the tie up area and profiles set up for building. This will be a great facility!

Insider 3,874 Report post Posted June 1, 2018 Nerula, weekly updates would be greatly appreciated, especially after heavy rain to see if the drains are working, at this very early stage. Also on the new stabling/tie up rebuild. Centrofold 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
