Yep I suspect all of the above. Of course the Club Exec are probably to old or too young and busy to help. I have the utmost sympathy for all the Track Managers in NZ - they have been under-resourced for decades. Can you image a turf track in New Zealand successfully running a meeting every Thursday for 3 and half months without an abandonment? That's about 15 race meeting one week after another. Well the Hastings Track Manager managed that when the Track Manager at Pakenham in Victoria. Over 20 years experience in track management and turf culture. He is only about three months into the job at Hastings and the Hawkes Bay Guineas meeting is abandoned not because of anything he did but because of decades of insufficient investment in maintenance and renovation. The track gets closed down - the reasons why we are still not entirely sure but for at least a couple of seasons. Then a Senior Jockey on Trackside today puts the boot in! -

the poison chalice Job of racing, the provincial track manager and their off sider or two! The modern bane of watering the track with a length of hose! that needs to be moved x distance, x amount of times, all different cambers and winds etc to deal with. I know of one track that is prone to a wet spot, that has lead to problems! sigh, a tough day at the office for Kane today!!! -

Groundhog day! R65 runs 2100m in a respectable time of 2.12.65 then 2 races later the critical leadup to the derby is run in 2.16.67. As they went down the first half of the back straight I was thinking is this a false start? The stipes report said the favourite Willydoit was "Unsuited to the moderate pace". These stipes are incompetent. The pace was beyond unacceptable for a professional horse race. The Avondale cup started genuinely and then again, brakes on into the back straight and the race was won in a slow time. I am getting oh so much closer to find another serious hobby. Then to add weight to my words we have the insightful words of the stipe at Otaki after the abandonment " hope we can improve". How about doing basic due diligence on the condition of the track before the meeting starts, both pre raceday and the morning of raceday. -
