It was an inglorious return for this blog last week and I was left feeling quite flat after Saturday's racing. I'd had a very good week previously but last week was a shocker.
Sandown was Soft 5 at 8am and there has been intermittent rain this morning with a bit more coming looking at the radar so I'd expect a downgrade. The rail is out 12m also. A tricky meeting initially it is made very difficult now with uncertainty around how the track will play.
Winter racing in Victoria is a real grind for the punter. Personally I like to see it all moved to the all weather after Warnambool until the start of the new season in August.The only turf meetings being for the jumpers and the awful highweight races. Trainers, Jockeys and Punters who have had a good trot could then do the sensible thing and jet off to Europe or the Americas without missing much. If you can't get away for whatever reason at least you'd have some consistency surface wise so you wouldn't be left up the air wondering like we are today.
No bets advised today. Back Saturday for Flemington and a couple of dry days forecast for Friday and Saturday so hopefully there will be some bets.
