Racing Victoria, about four years ago, instructed all race clubs to have tracks rated as no firmer than good but not fast.

As it is, two horses that raced last Saturday suffered problems/injuries because of the firm track conditions - Barely A Moment who broke down badly and looks as if it will be retired and Fields Of Omagh who didn't handle the firm track according to his jockey.

Given the weather forecast for today and tomorrow, the track manager has no option but to water so as to comply with the Racing Victoria instructions.


I stand corrected then.

Don't the trainers want it dead to slow though - that's a hell of a lot of water!
