Pinseeker already popped into Menangle for one race old mate. A win last June. only in 1.52 though. Another NZer ran 2n actually with Bob Butt driving . 'Better than Cash'. still NZ owned I think.

They have more than their share of two-year races. November 9, December 10 race scheduled was abandoned due to insufficient entries, January 2 and February 6. Surely when you have a massive crowd you want as bigger fields as possible to maximise betting turnover.
Thay get the holiday dates because they have shown that they can get the crowds. Several Clubs have tried Waitangi Day and all have failed except Tauherenikau.
