Eclipsed 245 Report post Posted March 14, 2020 none of us have lived through a global pandemic. However in adversity there's always aspects of life that do do well. (Ask any motel owner in Christchurch in 2011) Jacinda has effectively shut our borders down for 16 days. So on one hand there's no travel beyond NZ yet on the other hand it's going to be 99% safe, living here. Among the activities that will be OK to do is to get to race meetings . They'll be safe places especially when you're congregating with a small-ish group. ( As does a golf course as well.) How hard would it be to set up a marketing message via RITA that congregating with family,and friends groups, at a racecourse with a BBQ and a few cold ones it'll be the best and safest thing you could do right now.

Chris Wood 1,576 Report post Posted March 14, 2020 Makes me laugh, how many horse connections, punters etc would have congregated at various TAB facilities in Australia yesterday to watch racing all over Australia, so the virus is exempt from these areas, turn it up!

Maximus 429 Report post Posted March 14, 2020 The industry is already preparing for racedays without the public, so I dont think they will be promoting on-course attendance...however, watching Trackside TV with your face mask, oxygen pump and a beer nearby is another matter.
