Training Difficulties At Echuca
- Wednesday, 09 June 2010 14:00
Echuca based trainers are facing difficulties getting their horses worked due to lighting yet to be installed.
Training is a pretty tough job at any time and is only being made harder due to the lack of proper facilities.
Because of Occupational Health and Safety regulations, horses can only be worked on the track between the hours from 7am to 11am.
Whilst trainers are being inconvenienced, ground staff have fared no better with just half a day to prepare tracks for the following morning.
Trainers are further frustrated when they have a runner at a midweek meeting that could require two or three hours of travelling time.
Let’s trust that common sense will ultimately prevail with these matters being cleared up to the satisfaction of those concerned.
