Have a look through here, for Skelton history, and your own. Ten year timeframes are the easiest way, start as far back as 1839 when they started this newspaper collection and work forwards.. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers?items_per_page=10&snippet=true&query=Skelton

hahah, when we saw the word Cork, we wondered if you were mentioning the name of the place, a horses name or an insulating material or those dinky Cork Pictures people used to make out of Cork Bottle stoppers.. Do you have any Cork Trees in your neighbourhood the horses like to enjoy their time under? @Mill Reef

It could well be because animals also need to look after their health and cool down to. Do you ever stop and think why they don't generally race about in the midday sun? Ever noticed how animals cluster together and sit in a certain pattern? It's beyond belief in the UK now they are talking about building 'Cooling sheds" for cattle. It's overdue the academics who took animals rights to cool off, swim and enjoy waterways failed to stop and think why animals were in them in the first place - it's the way they are.

Here's an example of the legacy left behind by Steve Evans, Fletcher Building’s Chief Executive, Residential and Development, from his days in the UK when he was with Heron International It’s big, it’s bold, but is the Heron tower any good?

Meanwhile up in Northland, this is also going on. Neighbours want proposed 450m Dargaville Racecourse Development canned https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/463296/neighbours-want-proposed-450m-dargaville-racecourse-development-canned The Communities who have had their Racecourses targetted f.ro Housing should be banding together and take Legal action with those in their communities. Racecourses were often created on what was known as 'Wasteland' because of it's what is now known as Wetland areas - these in themselves are protected under various Regulations with Town Planning One has to question the intelligence, lack of, of those who fail to understand the need for Animals and communities to have land to enjoy themselves, along with the History of the Horses in the world. It's a timely reminder why we have ANZAC DAY and the role of Horses in the War eras. The education system is sick and those who fail to attend school to learn history need a kick up the pants.

Harsh lesson. How do these penalties compare with those in the Criminal Court systems? The sooner this scourge disappears in our society, that became prevalent in the era of skanky Clint Rickard's in charge roles of the Police force back in the early 2,000's, the better. Must be plenty of old Police Notebooks that should sink a few, perhaps it's time they were dug out of archives and put to good use.

http://www.voxy.co.nz/business/5/400698 Proposed new residential development for The Hill, Ellerslie - Fletcher Building Friday, 1 April, 2022 - 11:22 Auckland Thoroughbred Racing (ATR) formerly Auckland Racing Club has selected Fletcher Living, to develop a 6.2ha parcel of land at Ellerslie Racecourse known as The Hill, for residential housing. The proposed development will include approximately 370 residential units in a mix of different housing types including apartments, duplex, terraced and detached houses. Some of the dwellings will be allocated to Fletcher’s retirement living business, Vivid Living. Auckland Thoroughbred Racing Chief Executive Officer Paul Wilcox says that developing the unused land will benefit the community. "As part of our Club’s plans to futureproof the sport of racing, we are currently upgrading our track at Ellerslie to an international-standard StrathAyr surface. However, with that kind of surface unsuitable for jumps racing, that type of racing will no longer be held at Ellerslie and The Hill is thus surplus to our requirements. The proposed Fletcher Living development will provide the community with better connections to surrounding streets and public transport links." ATR selected Fletcher Living as the developer following a competitive bid process in 2021. Steve Evans, Fletcher Building’s Chief Executive, Residential and Development says Fletcher Living is delighted to be named the developer for The Hill. "The Hill is a really exciting piece of land which will give us the scope to do what we do best - use our extensive residential development experience to develop a vibrant new community that Auckland can be proud of. We can’t wait to get stuck into the next stage with ATR." Alongside the housing, the development will also create new open spaces and pedestrian and cycle connections alongside new public roads. "We believe Fletcher Living will develop the land sensitively, with respect to the neighbouring community. Their significant local knowledge, strong financial strength, and a reputation for delivery will ensure that the project is one that the community can be proud of," says Wilcox. The Hill development proposal is being considered under the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020 (FTCA). FTCA has been established to speed up consenting processes for projects which are considered to support New Zealand’s recovery from the economic and social impacts of COVID-19. The Minister for the Environment, Hon David Parker, has confirmed that The Hill development meets the criteria of the FTCA and should therefore be referred for consideration by an expert consenting panel. ATR and Fletcher Living will engage with local residents and retailers to facilitate an open dialogue, and ensure the programme creates great outcomes for the local community.

2 years on and now the same ones who told us to stay at Home and pushing the Agenda to do away with Alcohol Sponsorship of Sports yet think it's fine campaign for the use of cannabis and such like,and not be tested for illicit Drugs when Driving, try figure that one out

Do be mindful, there's also Lawyers, and Judges who partake still, when they can, in Hunting and showjumping and Horse events, how do they feel?

Here's a few stories about Ray Demler's childhood days. Contributions like this are very important and tie in links with the importance of the wider picture why all Racecourse Reserves must stay as that.

There's always Legal avenues, including Judicial Reviews. This is one such example of what potentially could result, add to the mix Chamberlain Park Golf Course Judicial Review because the land belongs to the wider people of New Zealand, not a select few. Ellerslie Racecourse has a very long history which is not ever to be crushed in the manner some think they can. It has always been protected for the people of New Zealand in perpetuity as a Recreation Reserve since the 1800's for a good reason by wise ones before us - as we have covered elsewhere here in Racecafe IN THECOURT OF APPEALOF NEW ZEALANDI TE KŌTI PĪRA O AOTEAROACA21/2021[2022]NZCA30BETWEENAVERIL ROSEMARY NORMAN AND WARWICK BRUCE NORMANAppellantsANDTŪPUNA MAUNGA O TĀMAKI MAKAURAU AUTHORITYFirst RespondentANDAUCKLAND COUNCILSecond Respondent https://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases/2022/2022-NZCA-30.pdf

Did you see an unnamed Entertainer was before the NZ Courts yesterday? Be mindful name suppression is still currently in place so assume what you like. Truth will come out, including in other countries Courts of Laws in 2023. Looking forward to Phase 2 of that international investigation details to come out as and when it does.

How many hours has the Minister of Racing actually done anything to do with Racing? How many hours has he been paid for this at our expense? Perhaps he needs to be held to account in Courts of Laws for failing to fulfill his paid for role with the Racing Industry. It's far too easy for them to rubber stamps Ministry of Health matters which is not his only roll.

Only know he went off to work for the Greyhounds. Anything else we need to know ?

Hmm, looks like ankles are different sizes..and long trousers in the middle of a hot New Zealand summer is well, a little odd, isnt it? Perhaps it was a cold wind

What's the significance about Monday the 22nd that people keep going on about? Are restrictions going to be eased?

Meanwhile, world wide countries are turfing out all Covid19 mandates, not sure about womandates :) What steps is the Racing industry doing to ensure this also happens in New Zealand?

What are the odds of someone coming up with a cartoon or placard taking the mickey out of RATS for Covid testing and that of introducing RATS, as in the rodent, to New Zealand that the same people who have been involved as Public Health Advisor Scientists have been trying to eradicate as part of Predatorfree New Zealand 2050? Which RATS will be the winner for elimination or eradication strategies? May be we should have a Competition to see who can create the best Designed Cartoon, a little like the NZ Flag referendum to get this country rocking in harmony and joy again for everyone's overall well being Bring it on Russell Coutts and co!!
