eljay 1,711 Report post Posted August 19, 2019 All races this week over 1609 at Alexandra Park. Programme for 13th September the same! What reason??? Surely they not trying to steal the Jewels off Cambridge by proving such programmes viable at Auckland? Will it be a regular (monthly) feature?

And perhaps that also applies to some of the drivers too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelli 426 Report post Posted August 20, 2019 Certainly would like to see a few more hcp 3200m races. Something other that the usual mobile sprint-crawl- sprint races, gives horses good from a stand but not fast from a mobile a better chance of winning (and prolonging career) and would mean pacers would get standing start practice.
