So far they have - A hole in the track - Golfers on Course - The race that stops Pokeno or maybe it was Mercer - We take your iconic races and never giving them back - Track Staff on the track during a race - False start debacle - Change the dates charades Β But don't worry about a thing, get yourself a horse or two because they are soon going to be running $100k races on a regular basis!

Palliser 713 Report post Posted April 24, 2021 This is mind boggling really, you have idiots like the guy at Trentham .. then next thing you have employees doing whatever they were doing while a race is on ??? .. I'm not sure what was worse. Pretty bloody obvious solution guys around with the track between races. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
