As I said there were a number of issues. The biggest was Bayer pulling sponsorship which set the race on its way in the first place. Whoever talked them into those 20 years of sponsorship deserves a lot of credit. Bayer went through cost cutting in 2003 and I imagine that was part of the reason they pulled out. Events tire eventually unless they are reinvigorated - a bit like tracks. -

Hong Kong hero Ka Ying Rising earned confirmation of his global superstar status and a comparison to his trainer's former champion Better Loosen Up in storming to victory in the Oct. 18 The Everest (G1) at Randwick Racecourse.View the full article -
It was also screwed when they made the 2000 Guineas worth 2 mil. Was it on a Thurs or Friday. Bayer used to have a huge marquee oncourse and being an agro chemical supplier, a lot of the rural sector attended. Have a look at the list of winners, a who's who of NZ racing -

I'm only suggesting moving the HB series back two weeks and cutting the 3 weeks between the first two days to two. NOT changing the season!! That two weeks later might make all the difference in terms of horse preparation and track conditions. -

There were many issues at play not the least of all being the major sponsor dropping out - Bayer after 20 years. They pumped a lot of money into the stake. Also it was run on a Friday which initially was a help but then a hindrance. Ironically it only became a Group 1 the year it was moved to Otaki! However it's slow demise is probably most due to the screwed pattern.
