Lets hope so. The track was not the best last Saturday from what I am told.

Perhaps a parallel with 14 July 1789 has given her a signal or is it the polls that came out this morning showing how dismal a rating she now has and the reality of a resounding defeat in the election this year has seen her scarper quick.

What a great day!!! Well there have been a few of us who have been a wake up to the worst and most dangerous Prime Minister NZ has ever had from the beginning. I put up many posts detailing why she is evil, untuthful and divisive and the reality is she has never ever been kind. I haven't had to post for a while beacuse even those with half a brain have finally figured it out and I haven't had the need to post what was patently obvious. She has finally realised that the game is up and there is no way she would get re-elected this year. The other rat is abandoning ship with her.

R.I.P Megan Taylor. So sad. Sincere condolences to family and friends.

I find what you are saying a bit odd. Can you clarify the whole scenario how what you say occurred? It seems very strange a $100.00 bet on-course be not accepted. 1 If someone went up to window oncourse and had a $100.00 cash bet how would the bookies know who that person was and restrict them. Again it seems very odd. All one woulld do is go to two windows and have two $50.00 bets if that was the case. Bizzarre.

Sad to hear. R.I.P Ronnie. Back when Tee Pee Gold was racing for Ginner Hart, Ronnie told me to back a stablemate by the name of Sovereign's Delight in the last race at Trentham. Won easily paying over $50.00 with the Wally McEwan Sugar & Spice finishing second making it a Hawera quinella at $248.00. Needless to say it was a great day.

Is it the finish of the 1943 Wellington Cup won by The Joker from Royal Lancer, Foxola and Lou Rosa?

Message to Industry: Group feature races from Hastings now to be run at Matamata NZTR 2 October 2022 The continued wet weather in Hawke's Bay unfortunately resulted in the abandonment of Saturday's Arrowfield Stud Plate (G1) Raceday. While this was a very difficult decision, a waterlogged track and continual forecast rain meant racing would not have been able to be safely held. The Hastings track has had continual rain over the past couple of months but had come back well over the past week although the Moisture meter remained high, indicating the level of moisture under the surface. The track had only had 3ml of rain by 6pm on Friday evening, which was much lower than had been previously forecast. However, with 17ml of rain falling over Friday night, a Track Inspection was carried out at 6.30am Saturday by John Oatham (RIB), Brady Jones (RIB), Darin Balcombe (NZTR) and Richard Fenwick (HBRI Track Manager) along with other HBRI Club Officials. Two horses galloped with senior riders aboard, which were getting well into the track. During the inspection, it continued to rain and the forecast was for this rain to continue throughout the morning. A further 8ml was recorded by 10am. The decision to abandon the raceday was made prior to the scratching deadline to avoid as many horses as possible travelling. Prior to the raceday, contingencies had been discussed, including postponing a meeting to Tuesday should either of the Central Districts racedays be abandoned over the weekend due to the inclement forecast in the region. Postponing Saturday's Hastings meeting to Tuesday was quickly discounted due to the forecast through to the early part of next week. Consideration was also given to transferring the meeting to another Central Districts venue but due to travel of horses, race distances, other options and indifferent weather forecast across the Central Districts, this was not preferred. After consulting with the Pattern Committee and considering submissions made by Hawke’s Bay Racing to move the AHD Hawke's Bay Guineas to Saturday 15 October, the decision was made this morning to transfer the Arrowfield Stud Plate to Matamata this coming Saturday, to avoid the bulk of horses having to travel two weeks in a row. In our view, this would provide the best chance for horses not only in the Arrowfield Stud Plate but also those looking to back up into the Livamol Classic on October 15 at Hastings. The AHD Hawke’s Bay Guineas will also be run at Matamata on this day to give the 3yos the opportunity to head to Te Rapa for the Sarten Memorial on October 22 to continue their path towards the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai 50th NZ 2000 Guineas at Riccarton in early November. The current pressure on the pattern ratings of our 3 three year old races was a key consideration in this decision. The option of splitting the Matamata and Egmont meetings over next weekend along with running both feature races at Hawera, were also considered but were discounted due to logistics and travel. The advertised programs for Egmont & Matamata will remain unchanged with the addition of the Arrowfield Stud Plate and the AHD Hawke’s Bay Guineas at Matamata. Nominations for both races will be reopened with preference given to those horses originally accepted for both the Arrowfield Stud Plate & AHD Hawkes Bay Guineas. There will be an additional $50,000 of stakesmoney added to the undercards of both the Matamata and Egmont meetings, with a $30,000 MAAT 1200m race also to be added to the Waverley program on Thursday, to reflect the lost opportunities for participants as a result of the abandonment of the Hastings meeting. Whilst with any decision there will be differing views as to whether the correct course of action was taken, priority was given to keeping the status of the respective feature races and keeping pathways open for future targets.

In the Northern region there are trials scheduled for Te Awamutu next Tuesday and Ruakaka on Thursday. Then in October trials at Te Rapa 11th, Cambridge 13th, Taupo 18th and Avondale 25th

It's only from today until the end of Cup week. But still very good for customer's over that period

I would suggest people to go and have a look at the replays of R1 and R3 at Hawera just to get a better picture of the poor conditions that prevailed on the day and Leggy there is a quick bit of footage as they were about to enter the section near the 800m wher you can see the narrowing of the width of the track henece the rail being moved inwards following that race. .

Enjoy Pogo

Following the running of race 1 riders expressed concern regarding insufficient racing room from near the 800 metres to the 400 metres with the rail being out 8 metres. Races were delayed while the running rail was shifted inwards 2 metres with Race 2 run at 1.26 pm, Race 3 run at 1.56 pm, Races 4 through to 6 put back one race and Race 7 run at 4.08pm.

It was a visibility issue with heavy rain and mud being thrown up that they were abandoned. Too dangerous. Hard to ride if you can't see.

Sad to hear of Toby Autridge's passing this morning. Super talented horseman and lovely human being. Sincere condolences to family and friends. RIP Toby

All here for you Gruff Bax joins forces again with Waller (loveracing.nz)

A mate of mine in NSW rang me Thursday afternoon to see if he should back Levante at $23.00. I told him that Roch 'N' Horse was a better bet on the straight six at Flemington and was payng $51.00. Long story short he was on at $112.00 there today. He couldn't believe it.

Gee Chris....your uncanny stopping powers have really become legendary
