  1. Only way to promote horses going to Christchurch is to have nothing in north for them which really only suits the ones with bigger teams to take down but really how long will it be sustainable to keep the Nationals in South Island let alone the lesser grade jump races. Most will stay north to chase bigger money in Northerns
  2. Course it does as Hobbs involved with both clubs at least have the statement correct . Missed the point really Hobbs would have been instrumental in them taking it as he has a lot to make up for in Taranaki, he probably told them afterwards , didn't go into bat for Stratford but quick to want those dates Hawera got 2 dates in August could see much grass growth between now and then; good luck with that Still got Woodville for another day as they aren't using this week. They race again in August before 2 Jumping days September and early October no pressure there not
  3. Well Scooby Doo the meeting Hawera took was the abandoned New Plymouth's apprentice Day not Wanganui so the Great Mr Hobbs would have organized that. He must hold the record as being involved in the most abandonments. Taranaki uses Hawera for jumpouts generally after each meeting through Hobbs to appease the New Plymouth trainers so Hawera gets more than its fair share of traffic over it and so anyone who thinks these tracks are humming with grass growth this time of the year are on a different planet.

    The whole track not the problem only the 1400m corner and no one has bagged the way the put back the track after the races or their facilities there but now they going to add the greyhound track to the property and you can see that on the Wanganui Greyhound Racing Club facebook page

    Remember Alwick racing in his later years and the stipes stopped Mr Waterman from racing him after the horse had finished last about 12 times in a row by various margins. Paul Worthington just starting out of was riding him at the time before he moved to Kevin Grays.

    Didn't he ride Colman with 2 whips one in each hand

    Amazing all the improvements and money spent on the track and the track has gone backwards Why? Look at Randwick yesterday heavy 9 with 240mm rainfall last week, shows you how far we are behind in producing racecourses in this day and age
  8. It is usually for the jumps riders voice concern about track and want to go home but then others go out and school horses around course even ones that weren't in jumps races so at least the jumpers got a run around. Only in NZ

    Hard to get a consistent racing surface doing that, I bet they don't fix the problem that they have created but live with problem by doing this and doing that but hay the problem will still be there until they remove it. Honestly a basic renovation done by amateurs

    Woodville not deemed a Jumps Venue yet he it is and one that was put to the sword for closure, aren't they fortunate these tracks like Woodville and Hawera aren't closed as they would have none to prop up the industry, hope they remember them when these other tracks are operationally again and the synthetic at Awapuni is going that they don't miss out on race dates.

    Wanganui Report put out they now have lost another 3 meetings because of their remedial work done on the 1400m corner makes you wonder what they have done to a track that use to race 12 months of the year for the last 130 0dd years. Interesting to note if they pass what is required, the Guineas meeting will only precede if the weather is suitable a week before racing on the surface they have made. So now its fine weather track WTF
  12. How come track Heavy 10 for trials then did you get 150mm yesterday. Pull your head in and do job you employed to do
  13. Unreal still saying tides affect water table even after I told you the story of a fencer waiting for tide to go out to put post in post hole lol Do you know how much water runs into the sea every second around the world why hasn't Noah's ark been rebuilt because according to you the planet would of flooded years ago
  14. Clearly no understanding of the system changes. There were none yes none other than the name good 4 was dead 4 soft 5 was dead 5 soft 6 was dead 6 soft 7 was slow 7 heavy8 was slow8 heavy 9 was slow 9 heavy 10 same as before excepts includes heavy 11. Penotrometers readings are still within those same ranges so should be no change other than the fact that we do know that they are only a guide and race times as the best guide.
  15. Yes Leggy would think you would have to go back to Busuttin Enright days to have 200 odd even then I would doubt, If most tracks relied on track fees to survive they would have gone broke years ago. Of note why don't nstrip ( Daryl) and Tony have a discussion at the track re guarding the issue lol
  16. Maybe they should do trackwork on low tide this time of the year then or ride around on the high side of the track or just go to beach and watch the tide go in and out. Only in Foxton funny
  17. As a former trainer as stated you don't train your horse just one day a week do you so I think Tony's post is a general occurrence as to weekly activity. Another one "water doesn't run up hill" fascinating comment, I did hear of the fencing contractor in Foxton he would go out in the morning to dig his post holes but the tide came in and filled his holes with water but as the tide turned he went out again he he got them rammed in that evening,
  18. What a quote here must be a rocket scientist funny not many valleys in Foxton but agree water table does rise in winter but at the end of the day this post is about one thing "where can I work my horse so I can take to races' surely it wouldn't take much to achieve this with a horse population of 30 odd
  19. They could go to Foxton to help them out then the track manger would have something to moan about like work.
  20. Honestly as they have the monopoly on trials in the CD they should be in the profit margin surely as they would only be paying a perpetual lease being domain board land which in turn is given back for upgrades on the grounds. Track fees would never pay the cost of running track but still no excuse not to have tracks available to train your horses as they are what keeps the industry going especially this time of the year. If the track is affected by the sea tides why is the water full of iron and not salt
  21. Surely you would have a grass gallop 3 days a week as you have an inside grass as well to use or are the track staff too tapped out

    Sorry everyone missed the boat here but I thought throw out a bone and surely someone would chew on it but Wanganui wont race again this winter

    No different to in their day Foxton least there is a fast lane ask D Walsh or watch trials from Foxton you might learn something. Trentham, Awapuni , Otaki Hastings don't seem to have one. Only Winter CD track they can come from anywhere on , inside or out is Waverley yesterday proved that.
  24. Why is one of the CD best winter tracks now unusable in the winter?
