Shame about the track at Randwick for grand final day. Our first late scratching in that one. #9 replaced by #3 (the winner) or #4 the second favourite.
Even start in both matches.
Chris,just in case you forgot.....
It was never a wet issue it was the track without rain was too hard and horses have been injured and many jarred up on previous days. This is exactly what it was meant to do but they need to fix the hardness on non wet days as the water was going through way to fast from what I was told. Good to see it doing what its meant to in the wet...50% of the job done, now lets hope the hardness issue is fixed too.We need it to be the best, not a white elephant and I really hope they can sort it out to be good on all occasions .
Its doing what its designed to do but it has been the hardness thats been the issue to date previously...not its ability to handle rain...it was running straight through it too quickly before...but hey its good its doing well today...horses dont normally pull up sore and jarred up on rain affected tracks.
Hey Rusty,
Funny you mention that. I'm sure #48 would have taken inspiriation from the NZ Pardon My Dust. He is an ex-Kiwi, now Aussie resident, living a fair way north from you. Back in the day as young lads we would frequent most meetings at the Park and quite a few Cambridge meetings too.
Even better that you mentioned Jenner, as that was his favourite trotter for sure!
I hadn't noticed the pairing today until you posted. A Queensland v Queensland matchup , should be a great contest 🙂 Good luck.
Cheers,
Phil
I'm very keen on New Energy in R6 at Randwick today. I reckon $4.20 is good money.
Import who ran on very well for second in first Sydney start, then ran only 14th in the George Ryder (1500m) but was very strong at and through the line - looking for more distance. Steps up to 2000m today and had a very quiet trial a week or so ago to top it off for this.
Couldn't wish for a better jockey.

Wishing the best of luck today to my highly-accomplished Veandercross stable-mates John, Pondy and Kloppite.
Let's hope we can finish this comp off in style, with a win ! 😊
Good luck to you too today, our very worthy opponents in team Bonecrusher. I hope you find a winner or two somewhere in the 12-race card. 🙂
Many thanks again John and Scooby for this highly entertaining comp these past 14 weeks. It's been brilliant, in particular because it's been so well-run and played in such good spirit.
As can be seen from the latest figures, all regions have now gone negative, particularly the North Island where the Betting Revenue is only 63% of the Stakes paid out.
These figures are made worse by the increase in Stakes, curtesy of the increase in funding by Entain, and with no increase in betting resulting from this.
I thought the track was fantastic considering the rain that they have had , ran 1.09.68 , that is a great time .
Hopefully it holds up for the whole day .
