Well ,we gonna find out aren't we ....and I for one won't be sitting at home moaning my arse about the negatives ! Kumara seems to be having a great day there today....... For those punters who enjoy a bet theres 10 x times the options to bet on than there was 2 x years ago. Ownership in horses is looking easier/better than its ever been ! The stakes best ever ! Horse and participant welfare is best its ever been. Jockeys and trainers making best money ever ! What is upsetting you vocal negaholics so much ?? -

Kumara looks to be turning on another successful meeting . And the fun will start on -line comparing their crowd at their iconic day with that of Trentham today [ It should be doing better ,yes] and Ellerslie tomorrow. Kumara deserve kudos and the NZTR is to be congratulated for keeping their date and ensuring that it retains its place in NZ racing. Kumara is a tiny place so they have to market and promote their day in the sun. They incorporate the big city thinking with small town charm, Fashion in the Fields , eyecandy and the latest fashion , this year adding two categories ,best head-piece and best local entrant to ensure some bitch from the big smoke don't turn up and scope the prize ! Then there are the hospitality options ,most sold out ,rental of gazebos and marquees ,and you can actually book a camp site to stay overnight. Of course Kumara [population 285] not well endowed with hotels etc ,but you can helicopter in and home plus free buses from Greymouth and Hokitika. Of course folk can BYO booze and food so to appease liquor authority they rope off an area where booze sold to keep it away from the Chlldrens play area. Theres plenty more including a 'Big Screen' which enhances the race experience greatly. They have been advertising this day for months and there is a Gate charge $20 walk-up ,$15 on-line. Kumara work hard at keeping their raceday current and memorable. They have had their 'issues' over the years with the track and the Liquor Authority but seem to work well to stay relevant ! Well done Kumara ! -
To be honest, they could probably use a small shuttle bus to personally pick up everyone who wanted to take the train today, and give them their own table in the members stand -
There's an old Einstein saying doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. Doubling down on doing the same thing as in doing it 3 times as much is worse than insanity it's a path to oblivion. Or as Einstein would have said a one way trip to a big black hole!! -
I don't think doing more of what's already not working at an elevated level is likely to solve that problem, do you?
