  1. Home with bruising, but otherwise okay according to a Facebook post.
  2. The race wasn't abandoned or stopped. Most of the drivers continued to race and did so to the line - only the commentator seemed to think the race was called off .... the clerk of the course didn't try to stop it - the stipes called it a "no race" after the event. Like the title of this thread said, it was a shambles.
  3. Would have been far worse if held in the North Island
  4. Make all starts mobile like the majority of the world maybe?
  5. That should (hopefully) change once the smaller clubs come back "online" - Kurow at Oamaru on Sunday and Methven's back September 13.
  6. Punched, choked and then kicked he in the head when she was down .....
  7. Yep - they've talked up their stakes plenty of times and had to back down just as many.
  8. It might be Edward Rennell ..... and that wouldn't be a bad thing!
  9. If you look at the statement on the HRNZ website you'll see that they pushed for Forbury and Timaru to be gone but RITA overturned them.
  10. Agreed - is there an Easter weekend carnival anywhere now?
  11. Has the role been advertised, or will they just leave Mr Holden there?
  12. Yet they dictate that the amateur ($7k) race wouldn't proceed without at least 8 entries!
  13. Yep - it was a shocker after calling it the correct name for most of the trip
  14. Good riddance - absolute nut job from reading the JCA report!
  15. Geez - I never made bugger all off any of my horses after expenses no matter where they raced!
  16. http://www.jca.org.nz/non-race-day-hearings/appeal-s-lawson-v-riu-decision-dated-29-may-2020-chair-hon-j-w-gendall-qc
  17. The results haven't been updated with the qualifiers yet - always happens like this.
  18. That sounds like a meeting at Alexandra Park
  19. That's a bit of a stretch - those "bigger" trainers don't even attend the CD meetings, sending staff down with the horses so hardly "having a holiday at their owners expense"
  20. Cambridge to Taranaki = about 3 hours. Cambridge to Manawatu = about 5 hours
  21. Can't disagree .... the North has been struggling with this for a long time - just pointing out that there are actually back to back meetings in Canterbury
  22. Not quite true ..... there are a few Addington/Methven or Addington/Motukarara back to back, an Addington/Methven on the same day, and even an Addington/Addington/Methven on 11 to 13 December in the draft.
  23. Pretty sure there are workouts scheduled at both Cambridge and Pukekohe prior to the resumption of racing
  24. 200 was the old level 2 - latest is 100 inside or out
