VAAL ABANDONED...... why not try for WED 10th ?

apparently the VAAL has been ABANDONED TODAY.................. why not try & reschude for Wed, at least postpone it for WED & TRY & get the meeting going. If they can't race on the WED....... you can say at least THEY TRIED !!!

you got to feel sorry for those OWNERS, TRAINERS, JOCKS whoe were almost certanties to win their races, & pay for those heafty monthly stabling fees................. I thought there was recently a new way of thinking where races were POSTPONED where possible & not ABANDONED.... or does this only apply to TURFFONTEIN ?

there is only Durbanville racing scheduled for WED.

I THINK there may be some agreement in place with Gold Circle that P will not schedule a mid-week meet to co-incide with a GC meet? The key phrase is 'postpone WHERE POSSIBLE'; that being said, why not move the meeting to Saturday?

Frodo, it would be nice for the powers that be, to inform owners / trainers why they had to ABANDON as opposed to POSTPONE.............. if you are correct in saying P racing should not clash with GC MIDWEEK........... agreed, then why not POSTPONE TO SAT. ?

Some answers from P or R.A. would be much appreciated................ but to keep " mum " on the subject will piss off a lot of owners, trainers & PUNTERS.

POWEROFONE, pity cause you looked like cracking your MAIDEN today.

Obviously not...The RA wants to help but personally i think they don't have the power or balls to sustain any pressure or force P to do the right thing...personally i feel P is clueless with no idea how to run racing...and if this means i bring racing into disrepute...SO BE IT...this shit must end...take Turffontein and stick it up where the sun doesn't shine...pay pay pay, that's all we owners do...

I am going to Carnival City instead. See you there. i am at Black Jack Tables

having shares in phumelela i applaud them for not postponing the meeting as it would not be profitable for the company...shareholders interests must always be in the forefront of any decision making process..

Low lying area, be careful floods predicted in Gauteng:)

I have no doubt that "P" is nothing but an unnecessary liability to racing.Should be run by a non-profit management company under a national owners and breeders assoc.

Rob, what percentage of OWNERS does the RA represent?

Trainer just phoned...had 13mm rain...clearing up but already abandoned...quick draw "so called experts"... nutters...

13mm of rain: there is a serious problem with our drainage at ALL track up on the Highveld?

With the current technology in this day and age and the money wasted on Turffontein we could have had an indoor track like the Millennium Stadium...Some P asses needing brain drainage...freakin annoying bull this...Rajinzky nominated for next week at Turffontein...yes, yes, drawn 69 out of...I REST MY FREAKIN CASE...Assholes....................................
