They must be immune to the scathing criticism on social media platforms or they would have fixed it by now. Probably another case of I know best from the higher ups, just like getting rid of free to air. -

It is quite mad to think the 150th running of the Easter will run well outside of the Easter Holiday period. Is this Paul Wilcox's idea? Chief, they don't give a stuff what the track is like. That little detail is of no significance to running a successful race meeting. The precedence at Ellerslie on the new fandangled track has been set. You can slip and slide and still run. As safe as houses. -

During Covid it was okay to work away from the Petone office, including members of the Racing Bureau working from home. Now it is essential to be near a racing hub. Heard of the internet??!! Another sad part is that the racing governing body has moved from a building they owned on The Terrace to renting part of a floor at TAB head office in Petone, now to renting a whole building for what seems a much larger compliment of staff. The industry is going down the gurgler, trainers and others are cutting costs to stay in the game, yet the governing body gets up and runs off on a whim at whatever expense it takes. -

Are you able to tell me anything that makes sense in racing at the moment? NZTR moved to Cambridge I thought. Maybe Dr Forbes can keep a corner in his Wellington office for the Keeper of the Stud Book as I believe Bruce Sharrock is travelling to the Waikato without one. -

Matscot will contest the Gr.3 Coca-Cola Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) at Riccarton on Saturday. Photo: Race Images South Fresh off his rich payday after taking out last Saturday’s $350,000 Southern Alps Challenge (1600m) at Riccarton, Matscot will return to the Christchurch track this weekend in search of more feature spoils. Initially set to target Saturday’s Group 3 Coca-Cola Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m), trainer Sharon Robertson elected to make a late bid for the Southern Alps last week, which more than paid off for the local trainer. Her decision earned her and fellow part-owners $175,000, bringing Matscot’s season tally to four wins, including the Listed Spring Classic (2000m), Hororata Gold Cup (1800m) and Southern Alps Challenge, and nearly $290,000 in earnings. “It was nice to get that win (Southern Alps Challenge),” Robertson said. “We were originally just going to go for the Cup this week, but we decided to go in and it worked out well.” Robertson has been pleased with the way he has come through the run and is looking forward to stepping him up over ground this weekend in the Canterbury Gold Cup, which will be his last start of the season. “He will benefit from the step up to 2000m, he likes that distance,” she said. “He is going out once he has finished here on Saturday afternoon because he has been up for quite a while. He will go out for two or three months and then come back for the spring.” Robertson also co-bred Matscot out of her five-win mare Bewarned, with the son of Haradasun being the last of four foals out of the daughter of Danske. “She had four foals but the only one that was any good was this one (Matscot),” Robertson said. “He has taken a long time, but it has been worth it.” Robertson will also be represented on Saturday by Hey Now and debutant Yorrick. “Hey Now probably needs a bit more moisture, but I don’t think we are going to get it,” Robertson said. “We will just go back from that draw (14) and see what happens. He is honest. “It will be more for education with Yorrick, he is still learning.” Horse racing news View the full article
