Apart from two days a year there’s no one oncourse .Facilities are shot .Stuff all horses trained on track .Valueable land etc etc .Prime target for easy funds wouldn’t you think ? 8 hours ago, scooby3051 said: Couldn't agree more...its a dinosaur...but its not Robinson Crusoe there.Everyone needs to be prepared to discuss EVERY option there is its not a about single people now its about the survival of everyone...adapt or die...its happening everywhere. Puha and Scooby, keep up to date. Everything at Trentham has just about been sold, including the centre of the course, which has been sold to the Hutt International School, for playing fields. All that is left is the track itself, the stabbing area, the little bit of land that the stands are on and the members car park down the home straight. Where has the money gone to or more correctly where is the money going to, as it hasn’t all come in from the land being sold for sections and the playing fields? Incidentally it the region of 7 million! Answer: It’s all going to RACE to help pay off their debt from their Conference Centre stuff up. The good news though is that RACE will soon have millions themselves from a massive property development that they have earmarked. Some of it thought will be needed to properly fix the stuffed racing surface at Awapuni. I say properly as a quick fix won’t do it, as is also the case a Te Rapa after too much sand carpeting and subsequent drain blocking. puha and Leggy 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only worth what it is, when the money is in the bank, and that certainly isn't the case at Avondale. Maybe a Northerner in the know will be able to enlighten us.

What I do know is that deposits have been paid and finial settlements are protracted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
