claude55 16 Report post Posted November 13, 2019 Oh no you are not allowed in here. We want a meal we are owners. Oh no you can't come in here it's invitation only. Well why don't you have sign up so we don't have to go through the embarrassment of even asking. It's a terrible place to go to to really. I guess it's just a place to go and get demoralized Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful facilities for a city track to be fair and very dated but the track itself is very good , races build nicely from the bend , hopefully once stand sorted things will improve . What do you get there today if you running your horse ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruff 2,778 Report post Posted November 13, 2019 I never had a punt but what was going on with Chris Johnson and Rosie Myers in the Ripcord ballsup? It seemed like Johnson had eyes only for Ripcord and not the winning post After the Eachway ride at Ellerslie you would be dreading drawing the ace with Rosie on. Watch the Head on after the race replay on NZRacing , its very unusual Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have a bar for public or shelter ? . They are just stagnating there . That old stand will have to come down , it will start to rot and get a little dangerous over the years . It looks terrible on TV , it don't scream fun day out at moment .It's been a few years now since it was condemned. No progress on All Weather I guess .

For the public on Wednesday no facilities at all. Everyone (the few hundred that were there) was just standing around freezing. They could almost have moved cup week to Ashburton; at least they have a public grandstand. TurnyTom and Huey 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
