Lots of big words in ATR release so I got AI to summarise - Summary: Issue: Auckland Thoroughbred Racing (ATR) and New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) address safety concerns after the abandonment of a race meeting at Ellerslie Racecourse. Action Plan: Immediate steps include vertidraining, coring the track, and removing grass tufs to improve the track surface. Future Plans: Trials on April 15 will determine if racing can resume on April 20. A heavy renovation post-season will prevent similar issues. Commitment: ATR emphasizes safety and excellence, aiming to optimize racing conditions for all participants and enthusiasts. I then asked AÍ if they thought track will be safe after thiscrort - Yes, the immediate plan of action includes removing root mass, utilizing sand to dust the surface, and ongoing maintenance measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the racing surface at Ellerslie Racecourse. The steps taken, such as coring, breaking up cores, and ongoing renovations, aim to stabilize and optimize the track for impeccable racing conditions. Trials are scheduled to ensure the track's readiness for racing to resume as scheduled on Easter Handicap Day. the ATR announcement https://www.aucklandracing.co.nz/media-release-plan-of-action-formulated-following-investigation-into-ellerslie-racecourse-meeting-abandonment/

Well done Rough Habit in ensuring our demise ……go forward and win the plate. to my fellow Mr Tiz team mates I’m sorry I let you down today.

Maybe I’m just an old fuddy duddy not used to change

Ave to say the ‘viewing experience’ is rather diminished ……the new graphics are pretty awful …in some unreadable

If only the Tancred was included in todays races …I would have cleaned up big time great win for Lib Petanga and team

1. Ellerslie R6. 7/8 2. Rosehill R2. 5/10 3. Rosehill R3. 4/7 4. Rosehill R4. 4/8 5. Rosehill R5. 4/9 6. Rosehill R6. 1 7. Rosehill R7. 1/7 8. Rosehill R9. 1/17 9. Flemington R4. 4/11 BB 10. Flemington R7. 2/13 11. Flemington R8. 5/7 12. Flemington R9. 6/13 BB

Great effort Mufasa, you smashed our Mr Tiz today …and Sayer was a genius ….we both had Antrim Coast but you had the foresight to make it you sole pick and best bet as well. Avantage probably looking forward to meeting us next week, gleefully saying the draw has fallen their way to cement their top 6 position. I might be top of the individual table but heck it’s only a 50% win rate on head to head basis …not that flash eh and haven’t really helped my team. This is a team event after all So Pak Star need not fret too much in our head to head next week even though I might be the ‘champ’ but you never know team Avantage might fall over in last round of round robin and tumble out of the top 6

Toby Morris likes drawing people Heres some at Derby Day …any if you captured?

That Veandercross team really on fire …having a great day ….926 in 5 races is heading to that 2400

Here goes ….hoping to help the team score as going head to head with the inimitable Say No More seems to be a mountain too high to climb …….and considering the great work he does in running and scoring this comp it just wouldn’t be on to beat him. my picks 1. Trentham R5. 1/10 2. Trentham R6. 6. BB 3. Trentham R7. 3/9 4. Trentham R8. 2/15 5. Caulfield R8. 8/10 6. Caulfield R9. 6/8 7. Rosehill R3. 5/10 8. Rosehill R4. 9 9. Rosehill R6. 4/5 10. Rosehill R7. 5/8 BB 11. Rosehill R8. 1/2 12. Rosehill R9. 2/5 and I reckon I’ll tempt fate and end up happy at the end of the day after a decent punt on and make a Makarena

The Ray Casey abusive language to track curator is a good read …no love lost between them at least what Ray submitted in his defence was still printed in full …….he said “A post submitted on the LP Facebook page by Elizabeth Whelan informing trainers that the RTR venues across the country are running at or nearing full capacity and as a trainer this is worrying to hear and makes me more careful with track conditions especially after the alleged falsified readings were an issue prior to this date.” hmmm

I got through the 107 paragraph report on Sean McCaffrey not supplying a sample when requested
