I'm told that a former employee will be getting the blame for the "mistake" this time.  
Isn't this her 3rd (maybe more) positive swab?
Plus a criminal conviction (oh sorry - another mistake):

Forget Tuesday - where are the horses and owners going to come from to battle Auckland traffic during the week for lesser stakes - they don't come now for the big dollars?
They should be racing there every Sunday during the day.

and how to reduce costs to owners so that lower stakes are more attractive!   Oh shit, that pink porker with wings just passed over.   

Quote from Garrick Knight
Gale says his family had an enjoyable day at the dual-code meeting and he hopes that officials were watching.
“It’s an amazing day with a big crowd – very popular with the locals and holidaymakers.
“It’s annoying to me that they aren’t running any of these meetings on the grass in January for various reasons.
“When you see the crowds they attract at the likes of Methven and Motukarara, it makes you wonder why we aren’t doing the same in the north.
“This year there is no Tauranga, no Te Aroha, no Te Awamutu and it will have serious repercussions going forward.
“Why can’t we organise ourselves to have good grass track racing through the summer when people are on holiday.
“It’s a day out for the family and gets young people interested in the sport.
“We need to be going out our way to ensure the grass circuit carries on through January and February.
“I really enjoyed it today; I loved getting back in to grass circuit racing, seeing the families out enjoying themselves.”

Quite possibly but grass track racing absolutely.....

Not sure if he's still there, but Nathan Williamson was training from the property - it's been on the market for a long time now.

Programming an amateur race instead of a Monte would help

Mark Purdon was questioned and Stewards have adjourned an enquiry into that incident - who hands up the parked position at the 600 metre stage when everything is sprinting for home?  Missed the win by a head ..... the excuse will be interesting.

From a good harness family won a cycle tour in China.immensely talented.might turn his hand to our sport one day. Gr8  effort

Trainers J&J Dickie were granted exceptional circumstances under the Scratching Penalties Regulation to scratch their seven stable runners due to a potential cross contamination issue.

Nothing quite like horse traders to have an over-inflated idea of values. Yearling sales are a good example of that. Despite the costs to get their babies to the sales (stud fees, prep etc) they're still only worth what someone is prepared to pay.

Shit money's better that no money - good to see Woodlands and Breckon had realistic reserves

Tim Hall - another good young horseman who had a great night - two starters for a win and place.

Excellent

If you go for cheap you end up with a result  like ATC.   It’s about how much value a person brings to the roll.  If you pay them $1mil & they increase revenue by 10 mil, well that’s a good investment.    I have no idea if he would be interested or if his skills would be applicable to  our  industry.  Just making the point our leaders need to think outside the square on how to create the growth needed so the industry can look forward to a bright future.

You've gotta have the right surname in this game.

If you ask the handicapper he will say that it was the club's decision - if you ask the club they will say the handicapper has the final say ...... it all depends what your name is!

Unrealistic reserves are the killer (Tardina Stud had the right idea) and the same reason claiming races will never thrive here - people have unrealistic ideas about what their horses are worth.
