Starting this Sunday.

I reckon out bound flights will resume late this week or early next week.

Like closing down racings shop front window as announced last week you mean.

All horses coming into NZ have to be quarantined except those arriving from Australia. Even if she had come in from Australia she would have been quarantined there after arriving from France. Horses travelling between NZ and Australia all have blood tests prior to travelling too.

The mare would have been quarantined and tested for piro upon arrival in NZ.

Waipa. No race dates but is still currently a training centre.

Te Rapa, Matamata, Waipa, Te Aroha and Taupo can all hold trials.

Well if you had read what was posted earlier then you would realise that it is was not a guess. Report post Posted 19 hours ago The point is Curious that the ARC flatly refused to engage in any discussions whatsoever of any merger etc. Merely have dug their toes in the stand and be in complete denial. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/113650896/the-punters-of-avondale-racecourse-are-gearing-up-for-a-fight-for-survival This model is being recommended around the country, with tracks like Manawatu's Awapuni and Canterbury's Riccarton set to inherit the racedays of nearby condemned courses. The Waipa Racing Club, the Waikato Racing Club and the Cambridge Jockey Club are considering a merger that would make their respective three tracks – in Te Awamutu, Hamilton's Te Rapa, and Cambridge – obsolete. Saundry encourages the collaboration: "Racing clubs are not competitors," he says. "We've got enough competition for the disposable dollar from the casino, a golf club membership, or an overseas trip." But the AJC has shunned invitations to meet with its Auckland brethren, Ellerslie's Auckland Racing Club (ARC) and Pukekohe's Counties Racing Club (CRC), to discuss their collective future, says ARC's president Paul Wilcox. He accuses the Westies of parochialism. "We're saying 'let's get together and work as a group for the betterment of the industry as a whole', but it seems like Avondale's not wanting to come to the table."

Yet another thread, why is this guy often brought up on here?

Idiots https://www.lincolnfarms.co.nz/stories/revealed-where-the-tab-staff-cuts-are-being-made-are-senior-leaders-getting-off-light/

Of course it their right not to engage at all but it shows a distinct lack of business acumen to not even look at or consider any options. A group discussion may well have provided them with ideas/options to discuss that their singular committee may not have thought of. Surely it wouldn't have hurt to sit and down and discuss with all involved instead of cutting your nose off to spite your face. Look where they are now.

Incorrect. Avondale have refused to engage in any dialogue about merging with Auckland and/or Counties which was put to them following the Messara Report in July 2018.

The Messara report recommended Avondale's closure for the 2020/21. So they can't have been unaware of this.

With what has happened in the past 48 hours or so with TAB retrenching will they still be having personality features like highlighted in the link below. One of my workmates showed me these today that were done in the last week or so. Had to play Sam Wynne's one twice to get the full gist. One strong accent. ? https://www.tab.co.nz/punters/trackside/videos/isolation-interviews-update
