My opinion is that anyone who treats horses like this does not deserve to have a trainers licence...what he did in front of people was nothing but cruel...if he does this in front of people what does he do to them behind closed doors.

It seems the two main causes/issues are 1 They chose to grow the Strathayr from seeds and not roll in pre grown turf. This had never been done before. And I think this one may be even worse 2 They never fixed the camber on the home turn to preserve the "chracter" of Ellerslie. I believe this is a large contributor to the amount of slipping on the home turn. But hey not being anti Ellerslie or Negative, just would like some answers instead of the waffle they keep putting out to cover their proverbial. I keep saying the industry MUST have this track at its absolute best.

You better ask Leggy he is the know all.

And where has Shamrock been during all this commotion ...???Silence is deafening...or is he too busy with his own personal issues at present...seems very strange he has gone to ground.

why dont you say what you really think LOL...Loved the place rode a few winners there was a great track.

Its owned by them pull the grandstands down not needed these days and you have a damn good racecourse, that I dont remember meetings being called off...

Not a bad trip for finishing where he did 200K more than he got just about for winning the Railway...I would go too if I had one good enough...good on them for having a go.

But at least they are trying different things...right???

They have to keep towing the party line...the truth always comes out.....let's just wait and see...better not discuss it too much or will be seen to resent the track or be seen to be negative...cant have that LOL.Imagine if this had happened at a smaller club??

And FI has been up forever too..seems like going over there was an afterthought.

Well done guys was really hoping you could get home...well done to the Champs in both comps great comp all round thanks John for thinking this up...now back to finding losers LOL.

The problem is from experts who have just walked it...in their opinion... the thatch on the surface is not allowing the water to get through..the thatch is soaked but under the thatch is dry so no water penetrates...rushing to race on it for KM night seems to have caused a ton of issues now...and that is a fact....lets see what happens now and what the spin doctors throw out to cover their arses...

Come on Saynomore and Pondy we need a in house win LOL...

To be fair they are just talking heads to scared to say anything negative.

The track is supposed to be better with rain...Ellerslie is one of the few Strathayrs with rain thats had races abandoned...2x now...you need to ask yourself what did we do wrong...the thing is they didn't follow the advice...they knew better...well now it seems they didn't and heads should roll..but they wont. Just wait mate until it beds in...3 years later.

Haha you think, they spent 55 mill and could not get it done, how much more is it meant to cost to fix up their stuff up???Come on mate time to get real.

And that includes me too...a shambles and self inflicted.

Senior steward saying significant slip marks...come on everyone this is NOT good enough...how can anyone accept it is??? Lets see the excuses now shall we.

No they chose to do it their way not follow the tried and true process...chickens roosting...springs to mind...but it still just needs to bed in...come on nomates...for 55 million surely they can have a few tries to get it right.

Silence is golden ah Chris???

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.

Nah dont you know ANY comment on the track is seen as being negative...we all got to sit back and wait for it to bed in remember...

Fingers crossed for good news on your loved one....Family is the most important thing.

Now come on insider dont be negative...we are not allowed.
