SUPER SYNTHETIC: GEELONG'S TRACK A GONot so much a rant for my first one back, but rather a Rizzo’s pat on the back.
Finally sense has prevailed at Geelong with the introduction of the new synthetic track.
It has taken time, and it has cost a lot of money, but the new track can only be good for racing, owners, trainers and more importantly the Geelong Racing Club.
While I have been a sceptic in the past about this type of surface, I have been won over by its durability and quality.
Punting in the winter is bloody hard, just ask anyone.
Parts of the course are chopped up more then others, tracks not suitably rated, horses not handling the conditions.
Unless you are certain on a horse, it takes some guts to have a decent flutter at this time of year in Victoria.
This has now changed with the synthetic track giving us good racing no matter what the conditions are.
At a time where the industry is looking for more punting turnover, nothing gets my confidence up then betting on the new Geelong track.
Horses can handle the conditions better, and you know that if your bet loses it wasn’t because of a bog track.
The only words I have heard so far from everyone who have raced at it has been positive.
What we have also seen is continual racing. Meets that have been called off in the past are now being moved to Geelong. Again another win for the industry.
With so many meets scheduled in such a short time, the track has been put to the test, but it has passed with flying colours.
It makes you wonder where the future of racing is, because as far as I see it, Geelong is on a major money spinner now the course is up and running.
I would like to see more of these tracks pop up around Australia because ultimately it is the only way we will see even racing in winter.
Future success is now in the hands of the trainers. We need their support to make sure this track survives.
If the nominations continues and the prize money is good then the opportunities are endless for Geelong and their new track.
I’m Rizzo and that is my rant.
