Hi , You asked this same question on February 28 and a few people replied giving the information which was out at that time. The first jumps race was planned for April 27 as you remind us...that race is now allocated as a Jumpers flat. According to the current planner on NZTR the first jumps races will now be on May 7 at Te Rapa , while on 21 May at the Rangatikei meeting at Trentham there will be 4 x jumps races including the premier Manawatu steeples and Hurdles. I will ' bump ' the previous thread of what was scheduled. I guess it depends on track suitability and horse nominations. I haven't noticed many jumps trials at this stage and noted a point for point was recently cancelled ! 50 win no. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggy 4,010 Report post Posted April 24, 2022 There's a point to point at Levin following the jumpouts on May 10th. Jumps races are listed in the online calendar on the NZTR site. The Hawera hurdle race was canned for lack of entries. Strangely, the jumpers highweight there is listed in the front of the programme book as 2400, in the raceday programme in the same book as 2200 and now reduced to 2000. 50 win no. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 1,085 Report post Posted April 24, 2022 Avondale races ANZAC day used to start with the "Over The Top Hurdles" won in 1969 (I think) by Great Summit owned by Harley Bowler and ridden by Peter Wilson from memory. Someone will know for sure but I seem to recall Jan 1st, Auckland Cup Day also used to start with the "Cup Day Hurdles". If not then, then the Ellerslie meeting on Melbourne Cup day. But that was then....................... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a worry , maybe it's a struggle, a lot of work goes into developing jumpers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly. There was a jumpers flat AND an open hurdle programmed. The hurdle has been deleted but the flat goes ahead.

kdt 291 Report post Posted April 26, 2022 So, have I got this right? The National meeting in August will be the only days where jumps will be happening in the South Island. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's goodbye to having a jumper racing from a South Island stable unless you are prepared to travel north. Sign of the times I guess but still hard to cop.
