Must have just thrown last 3 in as a afterthought, be interesting to know if there is a cashout, don't think it states so in the futures market so that may well suggest no, but i will go check anyway but it seems it's just sit and wait, be a nervous one. -

Or pour money into to bring it up to modern standards. You can't have a bob each way on this one. Far too late for that. -

Well you are not setting a very high bar if you compare them to Trentham!! -

Firstly I've been frustrated as well and I'm not in the CD. Have travelled a long distance two years in a row to Te Rapa to watch a horse race only for the meeting to be abandoned two years in a row. Not to mention the 750km trip to the Hawkes Bay Guineas last year to see it abandoned. The poor horse must be thinking - "here we go again today - heading to a dance that aint going to happen. Ho hum!" In terms of accountability - who has done what wrong? This problem has been decades in the making. Blame every Club committee, member and NZRB, NZTR employe for the last 30 years if you will but you can't blame ONE individual. Stop looking for a scapegoat. Stop blaming too much irrigation or not enough. Stop blaming the positioning of the running rail. Stop blaming the length of the grass. Stop blaming track managers past and present. The fact is every single one of us didn't stop to think that we needed to put capital into maintaining our racetracks let alone the buildings and other supporting infrastructure. Until we stop the blaming and accept the fact that we need to invest in the tracks nothing will change!!!! -

Seriously Jess it isn't like that at all. Having walked recently in the rarefied air of the misnamed Waikato Racing Bluebloods I know for a fact they are as frustrated as the rest of us with the tracks and the weather. Contrary to the myth they too want diversity in options. One stable in particular is doing that very well. At the moment though the difference in options are would you rather travel to a track 45 minutes down the road and risk and abandonment of travel a day or more and face the same risk?
