Tailedoff 38 Report post Posted January 5, 2018 I cant see any reason why but any chance Omoto is canned too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM(the other Molloy) 1,774 Report post Posted January 5, 2018 I would be bloody surprised. Superb weather here, been rain (a little) in the last week. That would have freshened the track beautifully and good forecast. The Coast has the best weather in NZ in the last couple of days THE TORCH, We're Doomed and Midget 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you it was stinking hot here yesterday(a reverse nor wester) and again today so may have sucked whatever juice was in it out. Clearly it is a problem but I do know they have had nice rain at least twice since Christmas Day. The problem here of course is the extremely dry early summer. The coast is not equipped to handle too much dry weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM(the other Molloy) 1,774 Report post Posted January 5, 2018 I do know they had been irrigating but clearly too close right now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauhei Notts 1,411 Report post Posted January 5, 2018 I did okay in School Certificate geography. I linked my studies to racecourses. So imagine my surprise that Omakau was too wet and Omoto needs irrigation. My waist size is not the only thing that has changed in the past 53 years. von Smallhaussen, TOM(the other Molloy) and ADM 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE TORCH 665 Report post Posted January 6, 2018 Quality track Omoto. Should be some great racing there tomorrow. Good on those trainers and owners who have trekked to Greymouth. La Zip and Shad 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We're Doomed 4,855 Report post Posted January 6, 2018 There was actually a suggestion to have a fully funded new track build centrally on the coast many years ago but Omoto choose to stay in the riverbed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct WD,BUT I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD LOOK UP THE ROAD, towards Kumura way as for why this didn't happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really didn't happen because of all three of the 'Coast' Clubs(Greymouth Hokitika and Kumara - Reefton is 50 miles inland). It was me who suggested it(I wasn't the first but I was the last) but the general reaction from all the committee men was'oh well if we are going to do that then I will drop off the committee'. I even had the site lined up and at the time the NZRB had money to spend on that sort of thing and the Coast was booming so the tracks would have been worth a lot more but hey you can lead a horse to water.... No skin off my nose - my Club is Reefton. Kumara would always have refused anyway - understandably their track is the significant aspect of their ongoing popularity.

Shad 1,554 Report post Posted January 6, 2018 Kumara very over rated for me, and don't know what the fuss is all about, surprised people go back after their abandonments, i was their the first time when they had the helicopter out, and i have not return since, went plenty of times in the early days and can recall some very flooded public areas, always took your gumboots after that.Have to be the worst track for the public facilities when it rains, or maybe its improved since then.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. They will throng in again this year to Kumara so while the purists might not appreciate it the general public absolutely adore it.
