Yeah, but I was in a frenzy! Unfortunately, I think a lot of punters will be heading towards Aussie gallops more than ever. -

I work in a different manner to what I wrote about so being organised means I have spare time. I just really detest bullshit. HRNZ eliminate clubs by taking away their dates causing great angst and a loss of social fabric in the local town and then reinstate them with no real explanation, let alone logic. The CEO gets appointed permanently in an update written by the appointed CEO and then realising the error of their ways and lack of process they have a proper announcement a few days later. And these people run the show? If you pay attention it is a mess. -
If any sort of substandard feasibility study had been done they would already have a reasonable understanding of what the maintenance costs were going to be , a simple phone call to a club already utilizing one would give you a fair indication . No that one is too tough , but they can say that they are going to increase numbers trained there by double , that would be the biggest intangible of the lot for them to predict , but no they have that one down pat but we can't say , even roughly , what the maintenance costs will be . I'm calling bullshit on that on as well . And , if they happen to be correct about the increase in horse numbers , that 16 mtr wide A/W is going to feckin congested in a morning , you might end up getting pushed back to a 1pm slot . -

All the speculation and doubts could easily be eliminated if RITA/NZTR/CJC published the PGF application and supporting analysis. In my opinion there is zero commercial sensitivity. It seems stakeholders are expected to follow the line - "Trust Us, we know what we are doing"! Unfortunately history is littered with their stuff ups. If they want the investment to be successful then trainers, owners and punters need transparency to encourage them to invest and plan. Otherwise - -
So you have all these tracks at present but are all going to be replaced by one A/W track that is 16 mtrs wide . So how is the track going to be divvied up when you have gallops going , quiet paceworkers , faster paceworkers , uneducated horses trying to be educated all at the same time . I've seen regularly 4,or 5 different training tracks being used at any one time elsewhere and you appear to have 9 . Are you going to have to draw lots as to who works when and what type of work can be done . You might get a sleep in , if you get allotted the 11am slot .
