The firm going wrecked the chances of many runners at Caulfield on Saturday. Rick Hore-Lacy was so concerned at the hardness of the surface that he made Chase A Rainbow a late scratching. The stewards report indicates that the performances of 6 horses were affected. Luke Currie said Carnero 'felt' the track condition, Craig Williams said Anudjawun was reluctant to stretch out on the firmer track, Damien Oliver said Cross of Gold may not have appreciated the firm ground, Damien Browne said Woorim would not stretch out and it was the reason for his disappointing performance, andCraig Newitt(Adnocon) and Luke Nolen (Irish Dream) both said their mounts did not appreciate the going. All this begs the question - how many other beaten horses were affected and not mentioned by the stewards?
