Let's see if there's interest in a thread setting out the meetings we'll be betting on in the upcoming week.

reading birchs meandering dialogue has the time come for track covers similar to the cricket....surely some crew in china{like the batts} could build em cheap....drape em from inside rail out and protect track for days prior...we have plastic running rails so why not a plastic "cover" that shields the majority of torrential rain away from the racing surface to the ground on either side....in queensland alone it would return millions to stakeholders in prizemoney lost  lets see when blistered bob comes up with plastic running rails first |

Wivenhoe 80% Ted E, Sommerset overflowing, and all running into Wivenhoe, so it would be quite possible that it could reach 90% by the time this rain stops  The question is, what happens if Wivenhoe reaches 100%, isn't it supposed to be for flood protection ? If it is full, then it can't stop any floods from engulfing Brisbane can it ? |

Dams at the track are full. A shot was posted on the weather thread.
Re track covers, we have enough nonsense in racing without adding another one. While they sound OK in theory, in practice they wouldn't prevent run-off and seepage. The end result would be a track of varying moisture content, and something that was potentially dangerous. What would happen during a race meeting?
I don't even wanna think about storage and handling - let alone the manipulation - of a cover that's 2km long and 50m wide.

Not that I'm aware of gov.
Only one person in Qld has a say in that.
You're aware we've lost one race from the midweeks to (part) "fund" the Saturday NQ meetings.
