OPINION: Is Moody Correct About Sandown?

Peter Moody doesn’t hold back when he’s got something to say and after his double at Sandown Hillside on Saturday he gave his thoughts on the racetrack itself.

“No holds barred this is the best track in the country. You get a chance from anywhere here and there’s very little excuses when you leave this track. If they don’t win they’re usually not good enough,” Moody said.

Amazingly Sandown could be closed if the course is rezoned which would be a blow to the industry.

It’s not just Moody but also trainers who are qualified enough to be stateman in terms of trainers such as Mick Price and Pat Carey who back him with that assessment of Sandown.

Is it the best track? I won’t argue with those trainers.

Firstly, it was designed and built for racing in the 1960s which gives it a head start on most older courses.

With Caulfield out of play for six months, there’s going to be a lot of racing at Sandown and that’s good news for all participants from punters to trainers.

The other track which is also gaining the respect of the racing community is Pakenham, which is also a purpose-built racetrack and also possesses a long straight.
