Not only that but they own a large parcel of land over the back straight. I believe it was leased to Donna Williamson’s stud but she’s in the process of moving. With Riccarton having sold the pony club and Rangiora’s future looking forlorn for thoroughbreds at least, Timaru could become an important training venue but the powers that be would rather shut it

Stockholm syndrome perhaps, might miss being locked up

Another factor is that Wingatui trainers can go up and back to Timaru in a day, Southland trainers can probably do Oamaru in a day as well

Everyone knows is innocent, if you want I can start on the accusers criminal history(which she tries to hide via a name change), her family history, her drug use or her drug dealing

A lot probably can’t, need to somehow restructure the industry to concentrate on older horses that can race year after year. They may not cover all their costs but they’ll get a bit back. Way too many owners are being burnt playing the yearling game

Most of them are barely covering costs, employing people in this country costs a fortune

It makes no sense, for a start you’d lose all the training tracks at Riccarton so do you relocate all the Riccarton trainers. Secondly trotting tracks inside galloping tracks are poor viewing except for Moonee Valley where the stands are right on the galloping track.

There’s no way on God’s green earth Addington are selling up to go inside of Riccarton

Rangiora would be fine as a winter track There wouldn’t be many jockeys left who have raced on it, so can’t imagine too many saying no

I must have the wrong Greg, would doubt Grimstone has any mates

Settle down Greg you’re starting to sound like your mate Neil

The system only suits the battlers who are happy to race once a week (or more) and trotters that gallop a lot

Clearly you have no idea what you were watching, Sam Thornley came out sharply pushing Bens horse under Sarah’s. Sarah’s horse had more momentum so they locked wheels. Not Bens fault at all although if he pulled his horse towards Sarah’s not away from it they would of got unlocked easier.

And Teaz did Otago when living in Waikato so it is strange

Craig was never offered the full time Otago job as he didn’t want to move to Dunedin having just moved to Invercargill from Victoria for family reasons. He was just used as cover as Jason Teaz quit suddenly and Evans was supposed to start early in the season but has only arrived recently. You’d have to think Craig is the obvious replacement when Davie Mac retires As for the North Teaz should replace Aaron White and Sherwin would be an upgrade on George

Dream team/super stable was ruined when they changed it from points to $$ won. Took the fun out of finding a few unknowns that could win a few and made it solely about finding the winners of the big races

Just shows they can come from anywhere, wouldn’t have got a bid at the sales

Teaz stated in The Informant a while ago that he wasn’t keen to keep travelling to Otago for too much longer
