    • It’s almost like they need to bring a former starter out of retirement to remedy the issue!

    • Galah, you are right the start was a lot better standing starts unfortunately 2000m than a lot that they have! Thing is that it is just an absolute mystery envelope as to what you get from the 2000m stands at Addington especially. We can complain as much as we want to but at the end-of the day they are always going to be very average unless the starter wants to change his attitude towards what he considers a standing start!
    • No thanks, apart from having to pay to get out of the place, what are the main attractions other than second-rate horses, third-rate jockeys and fourth-rate facilities? Is it too big a job for you or your fellow members to water blast and seal that great bronze replica of Phar Lap at the front entrance? Note you've now even closed the front (Highway 1) entrance to all bar horse floats FFS.   Regularly attended Timaru meetings in halcyon days, in fact made the Crown Hotel (which never closed) a base over Christmas New Year and when not attending race meetings frequented the side shows of Caroline Bay in the company of Sir Basil Arthur and scantly clad women... winning chocolates galore !   Don't know how turnover figures correlate to those of yesteryear but you're dreaming comparing crowds of today to those of the past.
