Was in his school uniform when he arrived so might have just been a half day I'm guessing

Wooden Racquet Not that i'm likely to win but if I did i don't want 5% share, just give 5% to a charity of some sort.

And that in a nutshell is why we can not see see rural racing go. The city people are not interested in a rural sport. It takes a rural lad to head into the big smoke for uni or chasing a wife that then drags a couple of mates along to the city race meetings and the mate spends up large has a bit of fun gets hooked and invests in the industry. I think we forget at times that racing is a rural sport, we take that away and we lose our next generation of players.

Not just off off track?

6 months on and about now I'm wishing there was a market available. She'll only get better and be winning the cup.

You close the track and lose the face of racing to the local people. Yes you will still get the die hard racing fan that will continue to stay on the committee and go with the club to there race day at the nearest racecourse but you lose all the others that are the take it or leave it sorts. Now more than ever we can not be taking the racing away from the people because they will not go when there are so many other forms of entrainment locally. I just look at our club here in Masterton, we had our meeting on Sunday and honestly not one person I had talked to locally (apart from those involved in racing) during the week knew we were racing or that there was a difference between Masterton and Wairarapa racing club. I would certainly be interested to know the number of members 32 years ago that I think we last raced at Opaki compared to today because I know there isn't a huge amount. People are amazed when I say I train a few horses at Opaki racecourse, older people are like wow that place is still going and the younger people I have to explain where the track is.
