Daveski 13 Report post Posted March 27, 2021 I did notice that after the letter there was an apology for "Parliamentary intelligence". Surely that term is one of the great oxymorons of our time! meomy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, need 50 percent of the card to be run or if a rider had an unbeatable lead at the time the meeting was abandoned Eastwood Jaunty 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People invested in the meeting might like some answers. If it was a rabbit hole then fill the f---cker in and carry on racing! Surely?

mikenz 1,070 Report post Posted March 28, 2021 I've asked the question before,do they irrigate the track,last time I saw a race a while back from there the track looked pretty dry and that would mean it would be pretty hard too ,just a observation.
