Craig Young Sydney's second-largest race track caused concern for several jockeys yesterday, but it didn't stop Australian Jockey Club chairman Peter Capelin cutting loose. The percentage provided by the Australian Jockey Club is 103 per cent. Capelin was, of course, taking aim at the Sydney Turf Club. The inner track, the circumference of which is greater and the straight longer than Rosehill's, hosted four trials yesterday. I'm sure us riders will get together with officials and stewards to work it out.
All new tracks take time to consolidate and settle.
Munce won't be in action at Warwick Farm today because of suspension. Last season's champion juvenile Assertive Lad heads the cast, followed by Landsighting and Mulan Princess. The gelding lines up in the Hobartville Stakes with Brian York keeping the saddle warm. He now has the opportunity to fulfil his potential. He only had the one run in the spring, he had problems with his feet, but to come back and win like he did, there is no reason why he can't go right on with it.
