Total bullshit I have no resentment to Ellerslie at all...I just have a resentment for accepting a shit job..something you dont seem to have an issue with...anyway I will move on...cheers ...

Well good on you...if you are someone who can accept $55 million for this piece of shyte good luck to you...lets see how long the wait will be..I wont waste anymore time here...and its not because they raced on it too early its because it was not done correctly...but hey lets see who is right in the long run shall we. I was not guessing either...for your info..and all I and the rest of the industry wants is a proper track .....it's imperative we get that.

Did they spend 55 million on their track????

Well it looks pretty Donald ducked...and no I am not from the lower North Island and I want nothing more than those who stuffed this up to come clean as you are 100% right if this is not the Mecca showpiece then NZ racing is done..Entain will walk away. Anyway I just feel the general public deserve answers and all they are coming out with is spin.

Come on it's apples and oranges...this is a shambles sorry for 55 million they never followed the correct way to do things..so nobody to blame but themselves...how can you defend the indefensible ??? Ellerslie are a law unto themselves untouchable and they now everything...well now it seems not.

So now what will the excuse be...these tracks are meant to be built for rain...this has been a botched job from day one if only they had just followed the full plan for the Strathayr that had been done elsewhere...lets see what excuses they come up with now for the bedding in process...this is fast becoming a unmitigated stuff up and a waste of 55Mill of industry money. Not being negative just being real.

It was never a wet issue it was the track without rain was too hard many horses have been injured and jarred up on previous days, this is exactly what it was meant to do but they need to fix the hardness on non wet days as the water was going through way to fast from what I was told. Good to see it doing what its meant to in the wet...50% of the job done, now lets hope the hardness issue is fixed too.We need it to be the best, not a white elephant.

That is 100% correct...twisting and turning like worms to save their own skins.

I thought we were not going to get soft tracks..so what's changed...??

And why cant it be forced out...the truth I mean...only way is to make noise so it gets forced out...otherwise nobody will ever be held accountable.

The question is why did they diverge...when all the rest of the international tracks had a tried and true formula...???Should that not be answered as they spent 55 million of industry money.

Thats terrible if that is correct...great racing guy.

So you seem to be like many oh it's ok to spend a few more million after they have basically misspent 55 already....see thats why they keep doing what they do...people accept mediocrity...and with that we will never improve. Muppets running the show only protecting themselves and their own survival.

55 million and we are stilling living on hopes and dreams...what a joke a complete joke.

I would only assume its a mess...look at Caulfield they did a new track there recently and everyone is raving about it...so new tracks dont all need time to bed in...its all bollocks...I hope it gets sorted for the sake of the industry, but I can see it having to be closed and redone...and that would be a disaster.
