I don't agree, its the utilization of the existing tracks that matters. The fools thought they could close half the tracks and just keep racing , no planned transition nothing . They also never bothered to look at the contribution each track makes to the industry i.e Levin, Foxton,Te Teko etc just close venues down and everything continues as normal absolutely clueless! Yes I know all the venues have their problems but they all have a place in the industry at this point as the industry has shown time and time again that it cannot exist without them. You'll see the real demise of this industry when the circus starts selling off venues, there is no plan ,there is no initiative but apparently there is a process to follow! Leased venues being given priority, tracks with town creep and a few acres ownership being the focus of the future , venues where no training takes place made a priority ... its nothing more than a clown show with no plan and no map of the future. Funniest thing yesterday the guy from Awapuni is going to re consult with the experts that got them to where they are now , thats the type of person you have in leadership roles in this industry.

Time to race at the tracks the circus closed.

So long as they are looking at the "Process" LMAO!

Agree , the same clown show producing this utter shambles want to be entrusted with the sales proceeds of country racing venues an absolute circus!

20 races at Woodville now , while Awapuni follow the plans and processes ???

Definitely too sharp a bend , the report should be informative ... not!

Industry run by nepotism and incompetence nothing more humorous than what is going on , don't worry its just going to take a while for the track to bed in like Ellerslie. Meanwhile owners can be expected to cop the brunt of the bill for that bedding in process.

Quickly transfer the meeting to Waverley???

NZTR will do a report , so do not fret!

Slip on the corner?

Where are the "these tracks cost the industry money crowd " they used to be around a few years ago. The sport is stuffed when its run into the ground by absolutely clueless fools.

They all stay in that job , there is nothing easier for them to do and everyone who gets in that role manages to hide fairly well.

How about the Circus just utilise all the available turf tracks they have at their disposal and run the industry properly ...

That's totally unfair ... NZTR would walk away with the prize , there wouldn't even be a protest!

I kind of felt she wanted to say more but it might not have been what the cheer squad wanted to hear.

Get travelling to some of the bigger cities in the world and you'll change your mind quickly!

Sounds like those owners shd get their trainers license, it's a super easy sport & everything always goes right .

Looking like a patsy role , nothing changes.

Prizemoney is great ... she'll be right!

Why should they be bothered when they are constantly let down by their own governing body? I don't blame clubs for not worrying about a thing, when we have such a dysfunctional and ineffective organisation like NZTR leading the way. You only have to look at their utterly inadequate handling of abandonments to realise youre being lead by no hopers.

Just assume Ellerslie or Waikato won and you can't go far wrong.

Another totally unnecessary award , as I say they do the easy stuff & copy Aus and avoid anything of any remote significance.

You answered your own question.

I wouldn't blame the club if they knew they were goners, issue lies solely with the NZTR clown show ... where they do the easy stuff & ignore the issues.

Oh pleaaase , like that makes an iota of a difference.
