Grey Way was ridden by Snooky Cowan TAB4E. Aka was his dad. Here's another question for you TAB4E while on this subject Showgate's Timaru Cup may have been the first time it was run as a 1,600m WFA race. The previous year as a stayers handicap I think it was won by a Gatekeeper horse. It had a name something like Gateman or something similar. Can you remember that one? As others often say, I wouldn't have the faintest idea who won last years Auckland or Wellington Cups, but I can tell you most of the big race winners from the late 70s until the early 90s. -

NZ meetings never used to get abandoned either, other than for terrible weather, and often not even then. The only NZ abandonment part way through a meeting I can remember from many years ago was Motukarara sometime in the late 70s or early 80s. I'm sure there were others but I don't remember them.

I did not watch today but very surprised on two counts. One; Matamata is a safe track Two; Riders were all ok with continuing the meeting Conclusion; overreaction by stipes who continue (like the most of the executives in this industry) to be inconsistent/weak with their governance -
Yes, all of this shows up the foolishness of closing down so many tracks. The theory behind it was not that the likes of Hastings, Awapuni, Te Aroha would suddenly be closed down for long periods. Perhaps the despised tracks were not the real problem after all.
