craigos1 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I do not have the credentials of some commenting , However I have watched the slipping incident 6 times. Firstly I believed the horse on the inside was touched almost at the same time. My thought is however on the camber that has been constructed turning for home, I don't know , Is it part of the problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buller Rep Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 1 hour ago, BarryB said: Hesi, short answer is No. Guys like RJB know more than I do on the subject obviously. What I can say is NO process was not followed & nothing was skimped, all of that talk is fucking bullshit. I think some are jealous that the upper North Island is where our sport is concentrated & love it when it fails for whatever reason. What they fail to understand is that if ellerslie fails then NZ racing is totally fucked & wont exist in 5 yrs. Either get behind it & support or find an alternate interest as that's where it will fall. Sadly your view is your view which simply follows the line.......give Auckland whatever they want and to hell with everything else... the Pattern of Racing, tradition, the Seasons etc etc. Thank God the 1000 and 2000 Guineas are still being run a Riccarton. Look what they have done to the the Wellington Cup Carnival. I don't need to go on, but racing will go on with or without Ellerslie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the fritters but Buller is right up there as king of the whitebait, at least when I played for the Sub-Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mrs is watching mindless shit on TV, I think it’s Union, maybe the Blues. Anyways I fell asleep just as I was picturing 10 beautiful lasses running to me to be auditioned for Debbie Does Dallas. Fucking typical I never got to see how that ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 I'm happy to accept that Barry is not guessing and has provided the most informed comment on Ellerslie, and I appreciate what he has said and realise he is potentially compromising his own position to say anymore. And, that this track was raced on 6 months too early, so given a rest till October, will race perfectly once nature has done its job. Those wishing to apportion blame, need to ask the question, why was it raced on before it was ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
