Te Aroha are putting in an ambulance track on the inside of the course proper. We have a lot of jump races in the winter.

This is absolute rubbish. One horse gone down twice and then another today so over the 2 days 3 horses have done the 9 hour trip. What were they doing. Rain was always predicted for today are they start of on a dead 4. Any idiot would know if the rain came when it did that this was going to happen after last time. The cost of $800 per horse is a hard one to have to take on the chin

Also 3 races added to Ruakaka

I hope the stable hand is alright too. He lay there for at least 35 minutes waiting for an ambulance without even moving. There was one on course and there was no race running so they should have atte3nded to him. It was not good enough. He got totally bowled by a horse and somone that was there at the start reckons his rib had punctured through his skin. If the case internal bleeding could have been a big problem and he was left to wat for ambo.

Not all horses like Cambridge syn. I tialled one there then she had to be boxed for a month so for her welfare I wouldnt go back with her.

Exactlley with Taupo as well

Well do you blame them. Didn't the track start at a Good 2 on the morning. Not all horses like it thst firm especially at this time of year

avondale got canned so lot of horses looking for a run

Not from what I have heard. Will be interesting to see

Ok no penalty if you have vet cert but what say you just scratch or does everyone do deals with vets to get a cert

If I remember rightly in Harness if you scratch you cant race for 2 weeks. That is how it use to be nit sure it is the same now. Someone might know

They are not allowed to because of low water levels in Auckland. Elleslie is the same they cant water tracks

So here we go again sorry you missed out last week but never mind you can miss out again. We will have a rating 74 but if you are above that you can still enter dont worry abour those poor horses who are lower rated and haven't been able to get in a race tbey can just wait another week and miss out again. NZTR you can pay my training bill because I last races on the 19th August and haven't been able to get in a race since.

Perhaps they made an exception for the Group 1 race. You can have up to 100 but how do you decide who goes but with a Group 1 it would make it easy just to invite those owners

Exactley we raced 19th August and are still waiting as we were last on ballot fir this weekend. And when those races come around the ones that are racing this weekend which at both meetings is 30 will be ready to race again and it will be same old they wont split the race they will just say wait again. We had it all the way through with having to nominate in the ooen races. Would love to know who is on the planning committee I believe some trainers are
