As shown, it does show how far we are behind in have tracks structurally built for purpose not only to take weather events but also irrigation.

Race 6 call got a bit miss mothered then Jason says ridden by Micheal Mcnab. Maybe the excitement of the big got to him being a Palmy boy/

Unfortunately, we are still behind the eight ball with track structures and having to over irrigation to provide safe footing and now we have lost the ability to have a good 3 summer track which is described as a track with moisture in it. Matamata preformed well as usual.

What about Brothers Bustling Bill and Sleepy Bob amazing how they get forgotten. Percy Peake and Last race Garry ( Phillips) also

Jumps Racing for season 67 races, 528 starters, $2,580,000 stakes offered. Starters average 7.8 per race.

Unfortunately, they are their own worst enemy. They want to be a part of racing they have to keep doing the job right as too many committees think you just use it like a merry go round and it fixes itself. Get with the real world.

Really the Northerns are gone forever never to be seen again. Te Aroha or Te Rapa won't bring them back and they need to change the name of those races as to not denigrate those races of the pass that were spectacles in jumps racing. Next, they send the Grand National to Wanganui then you will see how far they will go to keep the name alive. Of note I take nothing away from West Coast and Nedwin as to their efforts as that is what jumps racing desperately needs.

Oh, we had rain on Saturday morning so we can't run the trials on Tuesday. Gore had a month's rain in a day and the area was flooded out but before it arrived obviously not knowing the extent of what they did get moved their race meeting 2 days and raced. I wonder are they taking the pi--- or is It now a fine weather track only. Once touted as the saving grace for CD winter racing.

Yes, there are a lot of races that have turned into 2nd tier races compared to their predecessors obviously caused by horses being sold as youngsters not retained in the industry due to rising costs and return in stakes on offer if you can win them, money in bank better than what's on offer.

Showed on TV news the horses going out of birdcage gate to the start and its snowing, the penny didnt drop to say no? Then coming back from start. Only in NZ sadly

No, she never was Turnip didn't have ratings then. Clever Trunip

Wfa racing 64 rated horse winning, good for owners but what does it do for WFA racing in NZ

It's not so much being negative but think they shouldn't just jump in and look at ways of clearing the till on one race of that type as what if the lower-class day over carnival they spread an extra 350k across the board to feed a few more mouths.

Surely if you have 350k would you use it on a 1-win 2100m race at Trentham or spend it on the track as you have learned this season without the track you have no race meeting. It's like we have got bailed out again with a pot of gold and let's get rid of it before anyone notices.

How stupid this quote unbelievable. How much does Stratford ,Opaki and Levin cost the industry ... nothing yet they supply a service to the industry through training centres. Woodville is there to pick up the slack from Awapuni not only with flat racing but the lower end jumps racing now.
