Dust and sand from an overworked Randwick course choked jockeys and horses during the Spring meeting and early Summer carnival days. Riders reported bloodshot eyes and near-blind riding, with officials criticizing sand use and track repairs. Despite claims of rain aiding the surface, times were slow and concerns persist about course maintenance and future meetings.
A horse racing column previews contenders at Randwick and Kensington with notes on Bonnie Legion Wateraggon Oberous Ommy Fox Falstaff and Warwickeye. It cites Trelmon Saltash mare Omash Jack Munro Kilfern Limbohm Rogerson Royal Fibe Moneta and Egmont with aims at midweek provincial sprints and longer distance events.
Rumors swirled about Pike as he battled boils for weeks. He finally resumed riding work on Monday after recovering from a cold that threatened flu. He expects to be in top form for next week's Randwick racing.
