Fartoomuch 1,376 Report post Posted July 2, 2018 Changed from original Friday date to Thursday this week presumably to accommodate SI Derby Rugby clash. Makes a whole lot of commercial sense for all parties. I see they are looking for further nominations for higher graded races and racing over 1980 at times instead of the usual 1950. Anyone know why??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty 575 Report post Posted July 2, 2018 Have never liked, nor got use to Thursday night trots. Would prefer a Saturday night over a Thursday. Re: nominations.... why oh why does this club always extend nominations? The nomination cut off time is a bit of a joke.

enteebee 61 Report post Posted July 3, 2018 from HRNZ Starting from this Thursday the premier track will change 1950m mobile races to 1980m for a month-long trial at the behest of the horseman’s association. “It will give them a slightly longer run to the first bend and we are happy to trial it and listen to their feedback,” said Rabbit. “And we will then discuss if the 1950m races we usually hold now become 1980m races and if they do permanently then that will be the distance for the Jewels here next season too.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
