If it's such a big problem finding a race for a horse why do they continue to keep on importing horses from the North Island , surely this half the reason. -

HRNZ is pleased to release the proposed 2025/26 Feature Race Calendar, designed to support better seasonal flow and reduce overlap of major races across the North and South Islands. While this calendar will help trainers with early planning, stake levels are still being finalised and will be confirmed following the July Board meeting. Smarter Scheduling Across Islands This year’s planning focused on improving the timing of carnivals to ensure they complement rather than compete. The goal: more targeted racing opportunities, better progression between features, and reduced travel strain on participants. Canterbury Realignments: Derby & Oaks Night Anchors New Flow To improve the flow and alignment of the Spring Canterbury features, and to accommodate the introduction of the new Derby and Oaks Night on November 21, a number of changes have been implemented, including: Johnny Globe Classic – Moves to 5 September 2025, becoming the region’s first 3YO feature Hilarious Guest Classic – Runs alongside the Flying Stakes, 10 October 2025 Canterbury Classic – Rescheduled for 17 October 2025, improving lead-in to Ashburton Canterbury Park Trotting Cup – Also on 17 October 2025 Worthy Queen Handicap – Returns on 10 October 2025, targeting open-class trotters Other Key Changes Sophomore Classic – Moves to 17 October 2025 at Addington (was Labour Day); a new Open 3YO race will now run at Ashburton, 27 October Waikato Trotting Breeders Stakes – Rescheduled for Show Day (14 November) at Cambridge Addington’s Summer Trot Features – Start 30 January, two weeks earlier, to separate from Auckland’s Autumn Carnival New Races Added 3YO Open – Ashburton, 27 October 2025 2YO Pacing Fillies Open – NZMTC, 21 November 2025 2YO Trotting Fillies Open – NZMTC, 21 November 2025 3YO Sires Stakes Trotters Prelude – Waikato BOP, 10 April 2026 Aces Series Discontinued After industry feedback, the four “Aces” races (Diamonds, Clubs, Spades, Hearts) for 2YOs have been removed from the calendar. Drivers cited: Declining participation (especially among colts and geldings) Lack of strategic placement in the season North Island preparation challenges for southern spring Replacement races have been added for fillies on 21 November 2025. Young Guns Upgraded to Group 1 In line with HRNZ’s 2YO racing strategy, all three Young Guns Finals are now Group 1 events: Cardigan Bay Final (C&G) – 20 March 2026 Delightful Lady Classic (Fillies) – 20 March 2026 NI 2YO Trotters Final – 8 May 2026 What’s Next? Final stake levels will be announced next month. In the meantime, this calendar gives trainers and owners key dates to start planning their season.

Saturday's G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes has a confirmed field of 16, with the big favourites set to represent four different countries in a fascinating edition of the six-furlong feature. Last year's G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Lazzat (Territories) represents the Jerome Reynier stable and forms the spearhead of a strong French challenge alongside Topgear (Wootton Bassett), British hopes rest with last year's G1 Commonwealth Cup hero Inisherin (Shamardal) from the Kevin Ryan stable and the James Fanshawe-trained G1 British Champions Sprint Stakes winner Kind Of Blue (Blue Point), Aidan O'Brien relies on his Australian import Storm Boy (Justify) and Japan are represented by the G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen winner Satono Reve (Lord Kanaloa). Also on Saturday is the G2 Hardwicke Stakes, where a dozen will line up without Juddmonte's Kalpana (Study Of Man) who has been ruled out due to the fast ground. They include Godolphin's high-class stalwart Rebel's Romance (Dubawi) and Amo Racing's £2million Goffs London acquisition Ghostwriter (Invincible Spirit), while the G3 Jersey Stakes features 15 with the current favourite being Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's unbeaten Remmooz (Blue Point) from the Owen Burrows stable. The Listed Chesham Stakes sees Godolphin's TDN Rising Star Treanmor (Frankel) tackle Ballydoyle's filly Moments Of Joy (Justify).

I'm really struggling with your logic here. The Pitmans have 12 starters at Riccarton on Saturday, Furlong has one. Without the Pitman runners several of those races would have only two dividends. The Pitmans have won at least $300,000 more than any other SI trainer. Are you suggesting that doesn't matter because they had a few more starts to do it? -
By Chief Stipe · Posted
No I'm arguing their owners are. What's more there are some less successful trainers who would have loved to have had the cattle that @Pitman and Carston have had. Carston averages a winner every 19 starts.
