    • Colin's post   Colin WightmanHttps://bitofayarn.com 1h · Https://bitofayarn.com Not a dull moment around here. Today’s news is that a meeting set down for members and stakeholders in the Hawkes Bay Area for tonight has been abandoned. Yes, a letter released to members signed by Riddell (Chair), Balcombe (CEO of HBR) and Ballesty (CEO of NZTR) was sent out just yesterday advising members that those in charge of sorting this fiasco at the Hastings track no longer want to front the people. 24 hours notice. With no alternative date set. Not surprising because reading the letter indicates that they still won’t be starting the cambering project until August, a whopping 11 months after that minor slip event last September. The letter suggests that at this stage they don’t have sufficient “confidence & clarity” of what they are doing which I guess well explains why we are the poor cousin of Australia. The Ockers, by comparison, would’ve started this project within weeks.   All reactions:     Birdcage Bill Total incompetence. Could have held a working bee within a month of the incident and made the necessary alterations to the bend. No common sense whatsoever. The delay is probably a calulated plan to close the track for good. Nothing surprises me with the way the racing industry is being managed from the top.   Colin Wightman Author Birdcage Bill Agree. They’ve had good weather over in the bay during winter and we could’ve been racing there on good surfaces. Instead, those running racing here in NZ are hellbent on grabbing Group One races from regions like Hawkes Bay to run on their swamp tracks in whale country. No wonder our share price is so low.     Craig Thorburn It's called you will own nothing and be happy  ha   Kevin Sweeney Sad state of affairs Colin Wightman Author Kevin Sweeney For sure. If I ran my business the way we run racing here in NZ, I’d be broke within months. I feel so sorry for the trainers and owners in the Hawkes Bay district, how they’ve been so badly affected.

    • At this time be nice to know where the funds from Forbury Park have ended up, strangely Forbury closed but was nothing like the mess Aucklands created, I say created, but im sure if one cent of Forbury funds went to Auckland  there would be some very angry people in some places, Forbury money stays in the South, and the money from Entain for geo blocking shouldn't go there either, that's for the betterment of Racing/ Harness racing, , Aucklands mess Aucklands problem, sad as it is.
