The Gordonian

Jo-Ann Gordon is rueing a missed opportunity with her last-start Greymouth Cup winner (2000m) The Gordonian.
The Ascot Park trainer fancied their chances in Saturday’s Vernon and Vazey Truck Parts Kumara Gold Nuggets (1810m), only for the meeting to be added to the long list of abandonments.
“He was good to go and a wet track would have been right up his alley,” Gordon said.
Unfortunately, it has been too wet in the Kumara region with 200ml of rainfall this week and further heavy rain forecast.
Six horses galloped at Kumara on Thursday morning and the track was then deemed unsuitable for racing following an inspection by Racing Integrity Unit and club representatives.
