Does the "Not enough horses argument" make any sense? They don't have a plan nor can they fund the necessary capital works. They abandoned the 2023/24 plan to upgrade Riccartons irrigation - has that gone ahead and at what cost? -

I disagree. There are more than enough tracks to provide decent racing surfaces. How many race meetings should a track hold per year to be financially viable and how many meetings should a track be able to sustain per year? -
Exactly , the too many tracks argument makes no sense at all. Balcombe didn't give any degree of certainty around a plan to resuscitate the industry with regards to tracks, get as many as possible up to racing standards and use them or prepared to be very embarrassed again and again. -

I think you are skirting around the point. With tracks closed or not available due to maintenance, there are definitely not enough tracks to provide decent racing surfaces on a regular basis. -

From a Thoroughbred perspective those tracks lost trainers years ago. None of them going has put pressure on those that are left. Especially with the decline in horse numbers. With respect to Hokitika the only benefit racing wise was the opportunity to shift a meeting easily if one of the other West Coast tracks couldn't run theirs for some reason. Although there was very little inclination or co-operation to do that. The biggest loss from any track loss is the lack of access to the sport by a wider community. I'm not going to go through each of those but many still provide trial, jumpout and workout facilities as well as training. There isn't the horse numbers to support all of them with race meetings no matter how nostalgic you want to be. But if horse numbers have halved so has the racing load. Hell there used to be 100 race courses in NZ a bit like there was a pub every 20km because that's about as far as you wanted to ride a horse each day.
