Suvretta House back against fillies and Designated Heir both very strongly fancied...

To my simple mind any horse that has been beaten a minimum 7 lengths in each effort over 1800, albeit on a difference surface and probably better opposition, does not merit odds of 9/20.
It'll probably win by 10 lengths plus but I think I'd rather take a stupid chance that Beijing Bolt will love the surface, the trip etc etc

uuuu h uhh track inspection!!! there was a bit of train. track is wet!

ui ui ui. the jockeys are upset, their hair could be a bit wet, the shirt a bit muddy, unpossible to race!

i often ask myself, if these "JOCKEYS" and "track inspectors" once in their life saw a non-south-african race, lets say in england or in a muddy track in usa?

did they ever watch the breeders cup?

did they ever recognize, that they all over the world are not only starting in absolut muddy condition, but even in heavy rain fall?

do they not watch other horse racing at all? do they not train on rainy days at all? i never heard of an accident becaus of a bit of rain.
did they ever ask themselfs, why races are on SAND, when it rained too much?

If defence of the jocks,the racing surfaces in uk and america are way different to sa

u want to tell me, that sa-sand is more dangerous than any other sand in the world?

sorry, but this track inspection is really the top of south african absurdity.
i got used, that they don't race if there is a bit of rain, thats ridicolous enough

that they inspect a wet gras track is already very strange, but a track inspection of a bit wet SAND track in absolute sunshine - this absolute unique in the whole world

Visuals must be misleading..........the ground adjacent to the track looks as dry as a desert lizards bum.

Saldani did you send an article into the citizen? () or was it someones who`s curry was getting cold?
