With Awapuni still waiting to reopen the only two decent tracks left in the Lower North Island are Trentham and Otaki. Because of Awapuni's closure over the last couple both have done well to hold up under the extra pressure. One would now hope that Awapuni when it does reopen in 2 or 3 months time is perfect from the get go, BUT with all other tracks that have been recently renovated, that's a longshot.

Hastings Track to Remain Closed for Reconstruction
HBRI (Hawke’s Bay Racing Inc.) and NZTR (New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing) Management have jointly announced today that due to continued concerns around the track’s performance, the decision has been made to bring forward a reconstruction of the track. As a result, racing will not resume at the venue in the immediate future.
HBRI Chairman, Eliot Cooper commented, “While this news will be disappointing for the Hawke’s Bay community and racing enthusiasts, both parties believe that prioritising this project is essential for the long-term future of racing in the region.”
NZTR Chief Operating Officer, Darin Balcombe reiterated this message. “The decision reflects a commitment to addressing the underlying track issues for participants and horses alike.”
The HBRI and NZTR Board and Management will meet later in the month to discuss next steps. Further information will be provided to the industry following this meeting to ensure stakeholders remain informed of the progress and potential timelines moving forward.
Replacement dates for upcoming scheduled Hastings racedays will be advised over the coming days.

Lime it and disc it up. Dont fanny around!
