and therein lies the beauty and the magic and the endless fascination of this great game... a bit like blackjack - when to 'stick' and when to take keep going. Seem to recall a horse back in the day called Chumson - trained in the CD from memory. A black horse (??) who could not run fast enough to keep itself warm in its early career. But put it over fences and it turned into Phar Lap (Come in, Gubellini ..you're the whizz with all this stuff!) -

No it wont if money is spent on rectifying the issues with the grass tracker then no things will not remain the same...so lets try to be positive. Poly track racing is boring as hell and punters do not like it so that is a one way street to disaster. -

It is very much an ideological thing, much like in health and education and various other spheres of society. It's all about the prevailing theory. Currently, they don't place any value on on-course attendance, other than for the sweepstakes and slot day, when somehow a bunch of youngsters along for the piss up seem to vindicate all of their theories. Most of us on here realise that a lack of emphasis on on-course attendance must ultimately lead to a drop off in off-course interest. But that theory doesn't seem to have any credence in the echelons of power. I always think it must be incredibly depressing for an owner who spends thousands of dollars to attend a distant race-meeting to watch their horse race and finds a couple of hundred people in attendance at what is supposed to be a metropolitan track. They must think that if the locals can't be bothered walking down the street to attend why on earth should an owner fly in from hours away. Similarly for jockeys. They are often driving for hours to get to meetings for two or three rides and they must get a bit depressed to see there is hardly anyone else there. -

Might be 3 from 3 in terms of postponements to a Tuesday in the CD. New Plymouth currently rated a Heavy 10 with a moisture rating of 62%. For comparison the Tuesday meeting at Otaki was 56% and Hawera was 55%. Had 10 mls hit this morning and a little bit more tomorrow as well. Clear on Saturday but has the damaged already been done? -

The $200,000 Princess Rooney Invitational Stakes (G3), a Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're In event, highlights the track's Sunshine Meet stakes schedule of 17 races worth $1.625 million in purses in late summer and fall at Gulfstream.View the full article -
Thanks Pam, I appreciate that. My thinking moving forward, and in my case, at the latter stage of my life, and as an owner, it is not much fun anymore, and having had horses to race at Te Rapa, and Awapuni this season, and getting there, and the meeting has called off before, or during the meeting, and with being a common occurrance these days, I am sure as trainer, this is no fun for you either. I guess with the majority wanting to keep racing on grass, it will mean the same results that we have now, and will continue with meeting abandonments. Cheers. Robert.
