Just maybe the connections saw the noms for Thames and considered another option or miss out completely Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked at Hastings races over the last few years?I would say 60 to 70 % are waikato trained horses. Nothing wrong with otaki fields or tauherenikau for this time of the year so its not a CD problem. There haven't been enough meetings in the CD if anything.mdn 1400s have been having 40 plus noms during the last 5 weeks or so Your Question should be why haven't the waikato trained horses supported this hastings meeting? maybe new years day don't want to pay time and half for a public holiday for all the hours involved for staff?? plus a 20% surcharge on floating fees for public holiday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
