Only 11 races on group 1 night

Recommended Posts

Unreal to think there is only 11 races on thursday...no c5 sprint and no maiden race...surely there must have been enough noms to run either...even if the c5 race was a 6 or 7 dog field..it must help turnover? ...Or are we starting to see a decline in numbers in the north?

I don't disagree with you but a maiden on a group night

Yeah they should of had a C5 field and would have the number to run one. But not a maiden on a group 1 night.

My point is for turnover 12 races is better than 11 and dont forget you dont get to c5 without winning a maiden..and no i have no maidens....managment need to look at themselves....there is no effort put in to fill feilds....normally they reopen noms...why not today for a group race meeting..??...

I can't believe they didn't get a full field for the Jack Hannan Memorial.

How did Palmerston North get of running a 5 race meeting?

Steve have to agree about the decline in dog numbers in the northern region race meetings are getting boring with the same dogs going round week after week. Its hard to see the 2 Northern clubs still holding the number of race meetings going forward with decline in dog and trainer numbers.Its a hard game to make a buck.

Agree that noms should have been re-opened and an attempt made to get 12 races. Rang a member of the club's committee and was told that the secretary makes these decisions without consultation. Can't believe that is the case and if it is true questions should be asked and changes made.
