THE $1.6 million new all-weather Kensington track will face its first real test on Saturday, especially if the miserable weather forecast for Sydney continues.
Randwick copped more than 70mls of rain by Monday morning, forcing a set of barrier trials to be pushed back again until Thursday.
But track boss Nevesh Ramdhani said Kensington would definitely go ahead, regardless of what the heavens do the rest of the week.
The all-weather surface coped so well with the recent drenching that Ramdhani said it would be the only grass track available to local trainers at trackwork this morning.
"I've got no doubts whatsoever about the races going ahead at Kensington,'' Ramdhani said.
"Last Saturday morning we had to shut everything except the Kensington track. We had 46mls from Friday night to Saturday morning, but we opened it up to trainers with horses racing Wednesday and Saturday. All up there were 42 horses, and I would have rated it a 'dead four'. After the horses had worked, you would have thought only five horses had gone over it.''
Meanwhile, Canterbury received 54mls of rain early yesterday and was rated a ``heavy eight'', but is still expected to get the green light for tomorrow's meeting.
The rescheduled Randwick trials, which were pencilled in for yesterday, then today, will now be run Thursday. It will clash with a second set of trials across town at Warwick Farm. Chief
