Tasmania s thoroughbred horse jockeys and trainers are not convinced the damaged track at Hobart s Elwick Racecourse can be fixed, saying a new track may need to be laid.
Key points:
TasRacing has announced an inquiry into what went wrong
Jockeys and trainers are sceptical the track will be ready for Hobart s summer racing carnival
All thoroughbred racing at the track has been postponed until January 24.
The decision was made after concerns about the safety were raised when about 40 large divots were found on the track.
Horse trainer Brendan McShane is one of those who doubt the track can be repaired and certainly not in time for the next Hobart racing carnival on January 24.
