    Surprised Wild Waves didn’t go down.
    Looks like they are working on the bend now so looks like they will at least run the next.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    The bend is having sand put on it and will then be inspected.

    It is not looking good. Imagine the headlines if there is another incident or a fatality.

    imo It should be abandoned.
    One horse slipping is one thing… but three independantly?

    It’s just been announced on RTV that racing goes ahead.

    Let’s hope it is the right decision.

    Midweek meeting I reckon it would have been abandoned.

    If anything goes wrong and something bad happens and it makes the headlines I doubt the general public would remember by Monday morning… Not that its right but it would only be the activists and genuine horse racing folk that would think anything of it
    I suspect RTB is correct with it being on a Saturday

    If I had a horse of mine declared I’d pull it out.

    Seemed okay but they kept well off the rail.

    Another inspection. They will be taking a huge risk if they continue.

    Tiffany looked to slip at one point but not on the final bend.
