  1. We're Doomed

    Lucky Timaru

    I see the new season's dates are out and Canterbury country racing has been decimated as expected. The movement of meetings to synthetic tracks will relieve pressure on turf tracks that would otherwise be used in winter,” Saundry said. Timaru must be relieved: how they have managed to survive for 130 years racing through the winter months without mishap must be a miracle, especially when they see the criticism directed at the Riccarton track up the road. Exactly what the track will be used for now that that the "pressure has been relieved" I am unsure. Seven AWT meetings at Riccarton through May, June, July; two grass meetings at the same track; one Waimate meeting at Timaru and one meeting at Ashburton. If a horse doesn't like the AWT there is virtually nothing for it all winter. And obviously no plan to have any jumps races. Some horses will get the shock of their lives when they go from three months racing on the AWT and suddenly have to race on the Riccarton bog in August.

    what a farce. no plan to have any jumps races ???? you are dead set kidding !! AWT racing LMAO, so if Tasman Man reckons jumps racing doesnt draw crowds or turnover what do you reckon will happen with winter racing on "dirt" you kiwis collectively are going to end up wth the arse end of a pineapple if this keeps going. i've never seen something deteriorate like NZ racing other than Zelda Kratchanova's figure ( don't forget she was Miss Vladivostok 1972)

    Seems weird that a club that can't even afford to demolish its condemned public grandstand, and has a much maligned turf track, suddenly has a $15m AWT that is largely intended as a way to facilitate the closing down most other Canterbury tracks. The net result of all of this is that SI racing won't be better off in any way. I presume the theory is that AWT tracking will be so successful and popular with the punters that they will be able to race for minimum stakes of $20,000+ on the AWT. Winston's previous contribution to racing was 15 $1m+ races. That had no lasting benefit considering the money wasted. Lets hope this one goes better.

  9. Look I'm the one that copped the spray, so let me advise you that Pooooper and I know each other though are not close, We have an equal share in a substantial asset, I think he was trying to educate me what a charitable human being he is, using rude words. To square this matter up I admit to being his senior as he is only in his golden 60's Also my complete ignorance on penal matters and I bow to his greater experience in those. But as to the other assertions he is wrong and he can stick those up his self important, chubby little arse. Lets leave it there.

    Weird indeed. Could really have done with the grandstand being included with the track. Just a side note on the dismantling-I was told in 2017 the estimate for dismantling the public grandstand at Trentham was over 1 million back then...would be more now. Expensive business it seems, tearing stuff down.

    Tend to agree on economics and that stand . It must be sorted soon, it's been years . Surely it must get to a point it's dangerous to keep up unless they paying to get maintenance and sign offs regularly . The thing is look at the crap that appears to kick up on turf track at Riccarton at times compared to what appears a lovely surface at Cambridge Poly . One rainy Cup week will stuff them big style , one day in rain for lady in expensive frock with no shelter normally enough for them to say don't ever take me there again . I will happily punt on the AW once it's going though but my two Bob won't help them .

    One thing I would say about AWT , in UK the vast majority of horses have same rating between the tracks , it's not dirt . The figures are on BHA website . . That's why the US trainers got the arse , the results on the main track at Breeders Cup vastly improved for Euros during the time Santa Anita had pro ride .instead of good old dirt .Meydan went back to dirt to some degree to appease the yanks . That being said , iam no fan of our tax dollars put into racings begging bowl but will brave the cold and stand by the derelict stand at Riccarton to watch the odd meeting on course but I don't mind AW racing at all, just personnel likes I suppose .

  21. Me, admittedly as pure as the driven slush, would ban name suppression for EVERYTHING ... unless the victims (or their representatives) desired it. There's some sportsman out there at the moment demanding name suppression because the crimes of which he has been convicted 'might jeopardise' his future employment. Diddums! All he is doing is making the rest of us suspect some clearly-innocent top sportsmen... ... But, re Leo, I'd convict him just for his pink shirt/pink jacket fetish! Not my face, Leo, not my pretty face!
