Race Agender

can anyone see the reason with animal welfare rules about racing
in heat why tracks with light race in daytime in summer instead of
at night when it is cooler.
Funny thing in winter they race at night when its cold why not switch
around and race day time in winter.
Any thoughts.

I can see the reason why Greg, but I will never see the sense in it! The power of the buck eh!

To be honest we would be lost without the TAB these days, but we have become slaves to it, as Brad alluded to.

Agree completely Greg, but it then would have clashed some other TAB meeting hence it was moved to a slot that the TAB deems appropriate, regardless of anything other than what the TAB deems appropriate!!

[aussiebreno]

Completely false.

The meeting was moved by HRNSW in consultation with the Club prior to talking to Sky Racing about final times.

The meeting was moved forward as the predicted heat is cooler between 10:30am and 1:30pm than it is between 5pm and 8pm.

It was a decision first and foremost based on animal welfare.

While true re heat not as bad in morning than late arvo, word on Sunday was the club wanted twilight schedule? Just like one meeting last month.

[aussiebreno]

The Club concurred with HRNSW when discussing the predicted heat and animal welfare.

I know the club wanted it changed because of heat and animal welfare. But would their preferred, or at least original option, have been a twilight position?

[Danno]

Completely false.

The meeting was moved forward as the predicted heat is cooler between 10:30am and 1:30pm than it is between 5pm and 8pm.

If my statement is "completely false " Adam, then it would stand that the TAB has no say in the dates and times races are conducted, are you prepared to confirm that?
