Riccarton track today

Recommended Posts

I've not watched the races but does "cutting out" mean kickback?

New Polytrack surfaces are prone to kickback but it does settle after a while - a lot depends on the compound mix, the ambient temperature and the harrowing.

As part of the track information, they should tell you the depth and frequency of harrowing - are NZ using going terms such as Standard or Standard to Slow for the new surface?

It was turf racing - not on the Poly

Apologies - the fact the track has both grass and Polytrack is confusing to an outsider.

Why not re-name the Polytrack to something more familiar like Lingfield, Southwell or Wolverhampton? 😃

Perhaps call it Waimate, or the Mills track; lots of possibilities.
