Te Rapa how many horses trained there? Tracks been good for what 2 meetings? Taupo 3 horses trained there? Ellerslie how does that help the industry participants increased transport costs , no horses trained there, nightmare traffic yippee !!! Racing needs to get its house in order its financially absolutely screwed , decisions need to be made according to what is feasibly sustainable. Read again Huey, Dooey or Luey Te Rapa how far away are Cambridge, Te Awamutu, etc TR close to large horse population and they don't race at Cambridge.. Ellerslie?? Taupo runs trials and race meetings at this time of the year and is very central to all NI training centres, get a map of NZ out and have a good look!!!! The draft racing dates and stakes come out Mon/Tues will be interesting. TurnyTom and Baz (NZ) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racing can't keep doing what it been doing , it needs a new way of looking at the landscape probably from every sphere in the industry, trying to make NZ racing like Flemington, Caulfield racing/hospitality etc is and always has been a pipe dream and it will never get there now. Time the industry looked for the most financially/operationally sustainable way of racing, this approach should also apply to training.
