Seriously, have you had  a look at the parent company's performance recently let alone its Australian operation. Listed on UK share market As for worse CEO's Bernard and Persil immediately hit my radar but each to their own

Not sure why they started Chase a Dream the other night maybe he needs hard racing . I just don't think he is the same horse but I could be wrong . When he ran second to BNU he really should have won that race and the last start that was a real gut buster . If Blair goes forward if Renegade does lead Ricky will put the foot down make him work and either keep the front or trail BNU as he can leave fast as well or Chase a Dream . If Blair goes back he will need to rely on someone to take him forward 3 wide . However I don't think there is anything good enough to do that if they run a 55 half , so may have to go solo. The other problem is he will get a lot of slow ones in front of him . Also Built for Glory ran third to the open class horses the other day on a fast mile rate on the grass , maybe he is the smokie .  If Chase a Dream wins he will a mighty horse , I just dont like him with that draw . BNU and Jeremiah have been kept fresh so Barry and Scott being master trainers know what they are doing . I might go back Renegade for a place . Even though he hasn't raced at the distance he gives the impression he will stay and I reckon he will lead or trail . But good luck I hope Chase a Dream does it for you . Anything can happen in these races as we know  😀 Also Build a Dream ran third to the open class horses the other day on a fast mile rate on the grass , maybe he is the smokie . Will be a great race am looking forward to it 

The topic has been thrashed out enough since his hiring.  Revisit those other threads if you missed the discussion.

There is Watercare water available to top up the tanks if needed

Actually, it went like crap. I'll stop now....  

I don't think anything has changed and they may as well just spell it out now.

It went poorly - maybe Tird up syndrome 🤔 

A huge surprise. It very rarely happens. And sorry to say don’t hold your breathe over ever thinking that boring biased so predictable antiquated Halberg award system will ever give recognition to anyone in Racing. 

Yes the AGM was tonight at 6. Didn't bother to go as I'm sick of all the bullshit from this incompetent board and its nauseating lawyer.

I dont know but all I know is that IF they want to have a consistent track with the jar out of it they need massive more amounts of water than the pond. I am sure one of our more knowledgable posters will know the amount Sha Tin uses ...its gone from my head but it was a huge huge amount.

You sure your not taking a swipe at him, or soiling his reputation. 

Are you saying that the pond is Ellerslie's only source of irrigation water?

1 litre will cover 1 square metre to a depth of 1mm. So 2 million litres will cover 40 hectares at a depth of 5ml.  I think I have the math right.  

And uses 10x more water than Ellerslie has available to it no matter how you calculate it so lets see over the summer.  

But the Ellerslie pond refills.  I don't know how many times or how quickly it refills during the racing season however I imagine it is quite often. The key question is how much does 2 million litres cover to what depth. Don't forget Sha Tin closes down during the rainy season.

Yes but it is way short of what Sha Tin uses to have a consistently safe standard of track all year round...I forgot the exact amount but is is many many times more than the capacity of the Ellerslie dam.

The pond at Ellerslie is about 20% of what Sha tin uses annually...lets see what the summer brings.  

My apologies I was just pointing out that Ellerslie has a water recycling system.  Any rain that falls or any excess drainage is recycled to the pond and then used for irrigation.

They said that it would not make them self-sufficient for irrigation water during long summer dry spells but it would capture 96% of the run off from both rain and irrigation over the full land area. I'm not clear what a mega-tonne has to do with it?
