Skyweka’s race on Saturday 3rd June is Weather Dependant

Keep a watch out for Skyweka this week – she will be racing at Ellerslie if the weather and track conditions improve.  Trainer Tony Pike does not want to run her on a heavy track and we are with him all the way with that decision.  Skyweka  will get every opportunity if the track is not heavy, but the northern rainfall has been very consistent this Autumn, much to the disappointment of the hard working team at Pike Stables.

View Skyweka before she heads out for a 1000m gallop on the grass with her mate this morning.  As you can see – very wet underfoot – we need sunshine folks

And here she is having a workout on the misty track

As you will know from Tony’s interview, he wants to give Skyweka a short 1200m race to kick start this campaign.   Here are today’s nominations.

My question to you is this!  Is there a subversive element causing the consistent rainfall all over the country?  The evidence below points to this very thing!  Yes folks, these  guys have been heard chanting and can you believe it – radio stations have been playing their tunes!  Can we blame the rainfall on Phil?  wishing it would rain down – shut up Phil and what about that chap Travis below, well he  should buy a rain coat or move away from the Waikato if he wants an answer to that question!

Thank God for the glass half full Weka’s all over the country, who are aggressively seeking assistance for weather improvements even to the point of offering sacrifices to the rain gods. Paparazzi caught a glimpse of Galloping Weka JPW taking her job very seriously.  She was spotted recently doing some kind of ceremonious dance on the rocks and it was reported she was also singing (off key) … ‘Don’t let it rain on Skyweka’s parade this week….”

Good luck team Weka – more reports this week
