Letter of the Week

Off track

Once again the Hobart track (Tasmanian Guineas meeting called off on December 27) made Tassie racing look third world.
Stewards walked the track and declared “all clear”, ignoring many patchwork inserts in the home straight that jockeys simply can’t (ignore).
Following a recent $12 million upgrade you’d have to think that on a use to cost ratio, this is the most expensive racing surface on the planet.
Like most sports these days, it seems the more people involved the more total stuff-ups you’re likely to get.
Not good enough Tas Racing — and the Cup is about five weeks away.
