Greyville

Yeah, Titich and Bushy got you gusy on the list. As i said as soon as the 1st meeting goes ahead this season i will book for one of the up and coming.

Hoping one of the clanners will have a runner so we can at least cheer something home. Im sure Craig will have a runner as well.

Chippy when is the Doc xpecting you to be able to ride again?

According to weather fundis (if there are such a thing) skies start clearing and sun should be out by the weekend.

any news on when Greyville will be up and running again?

the sign still says first day meeting the 18th and night the 31st. lets hold thumbs.

23rd...

@Chippy - Is 23rd night or day meet?

Probably day at Scottsville the way things are going.

Craig

Dont you think racing will go ahead on the 23rd?? cause durban has had good sun the last 4 days what is the hold up cant still be that wet!!!!

I gather that in an effort to drain the water quicker and to help with drainage in the future they put in more drains and now the grass has to just grow back over these drains. They will not race there until they are 100% happy that it is absolutely safe to do so.

As is evident with the quality of Fairview's track, that is the best idea.
Hopefully it will be a quality track all season long

Kevin Shea told me that the inside Golf course was closed for 2 weeks due to the excess water.

Could Greyville not do something like this at the pull up point?
