Dargaville was assigned "picnic" category race meetings. There's reports in the era of 1974 in PPNZ. Kensington Park Racecourse was to be retained until Ruakaka Racecourse was completed. Note in 1977 that the Reserves Act Legislation was amended from previous enactments which are carried forward, e g Domains Acts which date back to the 1800's. Look also in the magazine section of PPNZ for Sports related horse magazine materials. -
A meeting is to be held on 23 July in relation to ATC / Franklin Training track. May we suggest that all concerned take the time to look up articles in Papers Past NZ relating to "Phil Goff" as he was "Housing Minister" in the 1980's and also understood to have been the Mayor of Auckland at the time consents for this project went ahead. In amongst those articles is valuable information to hold those in the background to account who have contributed to the mess to not only Racing but also the wider society of NZ have had thrust into them relating to types of housing built, figures of claimed homeless, including mention of Rev Charles Waldegrave and Jenny Miller who said Phil Goff did not understand or get a grasp of the British model in relation to NZ housing requirements. We understand that is the model of N.J.Sheppherd who was a New Zealander working in British Housing Architecture in the 1960's. This carry on towards Racing and our contributions to the economy needs to be addressed as it's a nationwide issue. It's time for accountability of the root source of the problems the racing fraternity have been left to bear the burden of due to gross negligence and incompetence.

Thanks for the response and the feedback. 6 low grade midweek races, not 5, but the point is well made. Yes, you could easily spend £50 getting in, fed and watered before even having a bet. So £100 for two of you and while accompanied children under 18 get in free they still need feeding and watering so assume £150 for a family of four and it doesn't look such a good option. On course catering is very expensive here and the quality isn't much - you may get 19 Michelin Stars at Royal Ascot but that's 19 more than you find at most other meetings. Lingfield yesterday was pretty typical of a midweek bread and dripping meeting at a mid to lower grade track. Oddly enough, Sandown, a Grade 1 track, charges the same for its midweek meetings. The really expensive cards are those featuring either a) good racing, b) good music or c) bad music. Under category a) you have the King George at Ascot on July 26th where the top (King Edward VII) Enclosure is £70, the Winning Post Enclosure £50 and the Queen Anne Enclosure £35. For the Juddmonte International, it'll be £80 for the County Stand at York. Category b) would be Tom Jones at Newmarket on the evening of Friday July 25th where the Premier Enclosure goes for £60 and the Garden Enclosure for £35. At York, probably the north's best track, it'll be £57 for the racing plus Sophie Ellis-Bextor and New Zealand's very own Natasha Bedingfield on the same evening. Category c) would be Lingfield Park's ABBA Tribute night on Saturday August 5th - one year they had a foursome called FABBA who achieved the remarkable distinction of performing ABBA songs without either looking or sounding like ABBA. The prices vary from £23 for General Admission to £66 for a place in an enclosure right by the stage so you can hear the mucic (whether you say Thank You for the Music remains to be seen). I was getting $2.25 when I was there from December - February and in some respects NZ was very cheap. In other respects, very expensive. What you pay for bread rolls is astonishing but your coffee is much cheaper. -

I’ve raced many of them over the years. Less now because it’s less commercially viable but still have ownership interests yes. Not the point but since you asked there you go. -
Friday's final declarations are available. The ground at Newmarket has tightened to Good to Firm, Good in places. The feature on Friday is the Falmouth for the fillies and mares over the mile. Eight go to post with four from the classic generation taking on four from the older fillies and mares. Among the younger horses, the clear bookies pick is the Aidan O'Brien trained JANUARY who was only eighth in the Irish 1000 Guineas on her seasonal re-appearance but ran a blinder when third in the Coronation at Ascot. However, I think ELWATEEN deserves a lot of consideration - she was fourth in the English 1000 Guineas on her seasonal re-appearance (and only her second lifetime run) and then found the ground and the trip too much at Epsom when midfield in the Oaks. Back to this trip and on better ground she looks huge at 14s. ATSILA from the Donnacha O'Brien yard won her first two and on her second run beat CERCENE who, as we know, went on to spring a 33/1 shock in the Coronation at Ascot. Take that form literally and also the fact she finished one place in front of JANUARY in the Irish 1000 Guineas and she could be right in this. LADY ILZE won the German 1000 Guineas but I question the strength of that form in this field. The older horses are headed by CRIMSON ADVOCATE and CINDERELLA'S DREAM who were first and second in the Duke of Cambridge at Ascot (that's a Group 2). They hold RUNNING LION (fourth that day) and in truth there's very little between them. The final older filly is the 2024 1000 Guineas winner ELMALKA who was well beaten by CINDERELLA'S DREAM in the Dahlia and whose run against SOSIE in the Ganay has been slightly devalued by the latter's poor effort in the Eclipse last Saturday, albeit a stronger race than this. Given the classic generation are getting 9 lbs from the older horses, it's hard not to think this could be another one for the youngsters after the Pretty Polly and the Eclipse. JANUARY is for me the likely winner but as long as it's the "dead eight" which means they play three each way places, I think ELWATEEN at 14s is the bet. The supporting Group 2 is the Duchess of Cambridge for the juvenile fillies over 1200m. This race used to be called the Cherry Hinton back in the day. Cherry Hinton, as we know, is a village south east of Cambridge whose origins go back to the Domesday Book. The field for this year's renewal has cut up to just six and Albany winner VENETIAN SUN is 1/2 to maintain her unbeaten record. ARGENTINE TANGO won a Listed over the course and distance last time but looks thoroughly exposed and if you want an alternative, SHINE ON ME was sixth in the Queen Mary but was running on well and the extra 200m should suit.
