Yes, because of persistent rain, the morning trial session of Crayford was called off. The session was supposed to be on Wednesday but then the continuous rain did cause mockery to Bags card of Tuesday.
A bias that was undeniable and that was indeed towards the wide runners seemed to have created domination in the card by the greyhounds drawn in traps four, five and six and seemed to have made chaos among inside runners being sent off then at double-figure odds.
“We’ve been hit hard by the rain from first thing and the salt still in the track has resulted in the inside quickly becoming sloppy,” Racing manager Danny Rayment said.
Rayment seen that things turned out to be unfavorable for those involved but on a positive note tried to set things right.
“We’ve monitored the situation throughout from a safety point of view, and had no reported injuries going into the latter races,” Rayment said. “Of course it’s far from ideal, but at least everyone cottoned on early and the betting shows have reflected the bias.”
And specifically with regards to the cancellation of trials session, Rayment gave explanation too.
“Obviously we want to give the track staff every chance to get things right, and our next priority becomes Thursday’s afternoon Bags meeting,” Rayment said. “Hopefully by then things will be back on an even keel for the rest of the week.”
Rayment might have realized that there would be certain things that would disrupt their operations and even cause them some troubles. These things, if they are meant to happen, they will happen no matter what. Thus, what is important is, people in control, like Rayment in particular, should do what is necessary to straighten things up. Certain things can’t be stopped from happening, thus the task would be on the people in control.
