Which is the top 5 tracks in SA?

11 years 4 months ago

Since this site has lots of knowledge, which are the top 5 tracks? Ground, upsets, "stay away from certain tracks". I prefer fairview and kenilworth, use to enjoy greyville(hope things change soon)

The top 5?
I think we only have about 5 left?
My number one would be Fairview but the poly track needs a new finishing post, possibly a big red sign "STOP HERE"

such a pity Flamingo has fallen to such a low - Every Jock that has ridden there in the past few years will tell you what a great surface it became for horse and rider - I remember how terrible it was years ago and I hope it does not go that way again

nothing wrong with it as a punting venue for me - worse results in PE - If we are talking punting then the Cape by far the worst for me because of the false pace and poor judgment shown by many riders there
