jess 1,244 Report post Posted May 22, 2016 Great to see Otaki track holding up well to what I believe has been a series of deluges in the Manawatu-Horowhenua area over the last several days. NZTR site tells us it's a mere Slow 7 on nomination morning - with just 9mm rain overnight. Especially fortuitous given a meteorological site I looked at said nearby Levin had had nearly 20mm of rain overnight......

Jess, readings would have been done this morning for upcoming meetings with who have acceptances later on today . With regard to Otaki who are racing tomorrow and with fields already out, a reading will be taken this afternoon and an update provided, with a final update first thing tomorrow morning.

jess 1,244 Report post Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks Ted. I'd have thought it might have been helpful for trainers to have a reading published this morning but appreciate your explanation of the way tracks are currently updated.

jess 1,244 Report post Posted May 26, 2016 Track manager explained that penetrometer said slow 8 - but a stipe said slow 9. So Slow 9 it became. What say you guys after the first?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartoomuch 1,376 Report post Posted May 26, 2016 Maiden 1200's in 1.1525. Not too bad i would have thought given the weather of late. Shame the 2nd fav was late scratched in race 3 because it really hurts when you get a 17% deductions FO and your on the winner.
