And Waterlea is not a good winter track. Meanwhile Timaru and Oamaru sit virtually unused, not to mention Waimate, Rangiora and Motukarara, although to be honest, Motukarara is not a good winter track either. -
That's bad news indeed. Jamie raced a horse with me many moons ago. Here's best wishes and hoping for a speedy recovery. -
I find that statement a bit strange. I think most of the horses nominated last week would have been happy to go around on the bog. Just look at Riverton and Ascot Park this weekend. They nominated and raced on a heavy 10 down there. Hardly any scratchings. Ballots missed a start. $17,000 races too. No $35,000 2yo and 3yo races like at Trentham yesterday with 5 and 7 starters. Pretty good racing both days down there as well. And, to be honest, the statement about considering upcoming meetings is just plain weird. There is one grass track meeting scheduled for Riccarton in a 12 week period. With a couple of $40,000 "features". The transferred meeting had two $80,000 races, including a listed race which was the premier southern 2yo race of the season. We now have the ludicrous situation where NZTR has attempted to close down most Canterbury tracks with good winter surfaces in favour of the Yaldhurst AWT. Meanwhile, it appears the CJC is increasingly reluctant to host meetings on its grass track during the winter months. And as there is virtually no grass track alternative if the CJC considers its track isn't up to it, it looks like transfers to the AWT might become more common.

I tend to agree. Though it's only the about the same trip as Wingatui for Canterbury horses. As much as I used to love that Blenheim (formerly Nelson/Blenheim?) circuit, It's a bloody expensive trip for a couple of free breakfasts when equally good nearby tracks like Rangiora and Motukarara lie idle.

According to Craig Rail Jamie in hospital and it sounds quite serious. The end of the season racing awards have media and journalist categories. Jamie Searle deserves journalist of year award. Its all much easier if one is employed by say NZTR, TAB or leading industry outfits but Jamie launched the Southern Thoroughbreds facebook site on his own giving a complete range of industry activity in the deep south. Plus some great tips. Its a formula that should be repeated in other areas Anyway best wishes here's hoping there is recovery.
