Government has announced this afternoon they will not discuss if the current Levels operating in NZ will be reduced or stay at current levels until Friday at the earliest. Sunday doesn't look promising for racing at Ellerslie if they want to give all horses a fair chance of winning by not having last minute rushed travel requirements from areas such as the CD.

Given this strain of the virus has a longer incubation period before people are testing postive (up to 5 days), reducing the Level 3 restriction after the initial 7 day period appears a forlorn hope. This assumes EVERYONE who is a close contact or casual plus contact has a test within the next 48 hours (and stay at home which, given the recent scenario we can assume is unlikely to happen), and they all test negative. Unless this happens, lifting Level 3 after 7 appears a long shot. And the government advised that the latest employer support will be calclated bi-weekly, which also implies they anticipate it be longer than 7 days. Beng an employer involved in the accommodation industry I can tell you any level above 1 is a blow to business on top of our border closures

Big risk Ted for out of town horses like the 2nd favourite from Otaki. Not much time to take the horse to the races if an announcement at 6am to drop to Level 2 on Sunday. Horse racing isn't only for the benefit of Northern horses.

If the stable is part of this chicanery of trying to fool punters, then they need to be penalised as well. How can someone gain 0.8kgs during a race? Something doesn't smell right in this instance
