Just a shame the decision wasn't made earlier (easy to say in hindsight) as plenty of people will already have flown out there, in particular the stable staff.

One job Betfair, one job!

Can't even get the first race turned in play until they have run about half a furlong or more!

The mind boggles!

No way. I wasn't watching this afternoon so I missed that.

In case people don't know South African racing is due to have its last day on Thursday before the country goes into lock down.

Betfair have made a right mess of R3 at Turffontein.

Turned the market inplay about 3 minutes early. Settled the SP and then turned it back to a pre-race market. Then the fav was withdrawn during the loading process.

They really are shocking!

I'm busy working in the garden. :) How does Turffontein trade? Is it scalpable or are you looking to get onto swings?

Have you got any compost you can send me? Dozens of empty patio plant pots, trays full of seedlings, and f-all to plant them in. A couple of days notice would have been nice.

You might be able to raid some green bins and start a heap as the green bin collections are about to stop.

When I run out of bog roll I'll start collecting it for you in a bucket. ;)

Wouldn't worry, they stop racing on Thursday.
