I’ve been watching live racing from Caymanas Park these past months, and sad to say my impressions of the racing from several points are underwhelming.
The parade ring.
The horses walk in the parade ring like zombies. Like they’ve been drugged.
Post Time.
Just like the horses in the parade ring, the gate attendants move around in slow motion. Result? The off is delayed by several minutes.
Poor gate discipline. Aren’t the horse gate trained? Why are so many of them reluctant to enter the starting stall?
Fortunately, all is not lost. All points mentioned can be improved if those in charge of the processes are seized of the importance of changing how things are being done. Otherwise the slow death of racing at Caymanas will continue at an accelerated pace.
