100 1 1,386 Report post Posted June 15, 2020 Track H11 How is that even possible? Are they saying 1200 meters will be run in 1.20+? Must of had a lot more rain than most places. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobysnacks 386 Report post Posted June 15, 2020 We had a bit of rain this past week and it has been cool, but Heavy 11 seems off. How much did they spend on the track/drainage at Pukekohe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did they spend on the track/drainage at Pukekohe? If it's H11 now what will it be in August when the ground becomes really saturated? Bit more rain coming maybe they should transfer the meeting to AVONDALE. Memphis2, Baz (NZ), Pam Robson and 1 other 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevy86 2,710 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 And the turmoil seems have halted posting of trial results from Ellerslie today. 7 videos have been up for a couple of hours but no actual trial result details. Ellerslie a nice Dead 5 but Pukekohe Heavy 11 in a drought? Rain forecast Thursday, Friday, Saturday so maybe reverting to a Hurdles/Steeples Day and out looking for Noms??

gubellini 4,004 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 Counties Saturday 11 races carded 203 nominations. Many won’t get a start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubellini 4,004 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 From the respective barrier positions at Pukekohe 150 horses will get a start. Assuming all horses accept 53 will miss out. Apparently those 53 will be given priority at the next Northern meeting. Won’t be long before there is a massive log jam of runners.

We're Doomed 4,866 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 Enough noms for about 16 races. It is a pity several of the races have max field sizes of 10 or 12.

Certainly hard to understand how Ellerslie can be dead and Counties heavy Certainly could have got 1 extra race out of each of the 800/1100 races , so possibly 4 more races . This should have been done as reward for the owners that put their horses back into work to help maintain an industry . The ones that miss this week will have to contend with horses coming out of today's Ellerslie trials and others not prepared to race on H11 . Also the next northern meeting is 2 weeks away at Te Rapa . Gonna be a lot of unhappy owners very quickly , a must to put on more meetings . They asked people to get horses into work ASAP , they done that in spades looking at the numbers , now up to NZTR to come to the party .

Their response to this will probably be an indication of what we can expect going forward. You would hope they might show more respect for owners than they have previously. nomates, Huey, Leggy and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi nomates Yes a lot of money was spent on the track 5 years ago and without it we would be much worse off. It is a made to be a summer track as natural bore water. If you had your time again I think you might have picked slightly higher ground for a track and with little daylight hours it is hard to dry. It will be in very good order for racing on though.

Baz (NZ) 1,722 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 I hope the punters can get interested..... Quite a few slow ones among those Nom's...they'll be even slower after a 3 months break if it's a Heavy 11 on Saturday. Flippers and Oxygen tanks spring to mind if rain is forecasted as well. nomates 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
