    • This goes back several decades,  Chief.  Its not recent. Look back at renovation of Greymouth.  Canterbury grass sown under advice from the CJC track manager, Max Skelton ( for one) sustained severe injuries when his horse slipped over.  Gore redone, horses fell over, Terry Moseley slipped twice at the same place on the same day! Rangiora renovated.  That disaster has been discussed at great length, hasn't raced since. Riccarton itself,  remodelled, although it is still operational the surface has been criticized ever since.   It gets away with less than perfect because it is a large circuit with sweeping turns.  You'll sneer and say I'm dredging up ancient history.  But the facts are there, NZ racing has a history of botching renovation. The only saviour has been the variety of tracks still left to take up dates.  Now that the brains trust has seen fit to mothball so many, the flaws inherent in the 'preferred ' tracks are there for all to see. Liam O'Keefe seems to be a very valuable adviser.   We are lucky to be able to call on his expertise.   But whether he has the time - or inclination - to continue in that capacity may be dubious.
