I know where Reefton and Freda are coming from and I think what has happened is disgusting and short sighted. However, I think RACE aside, licence holders and owners who have horses trained at CD tracks are manning up. No longer are they going to be pushed by bureaucrats into losing livelihoods, income and pleasure. It is abundantly clear huge mistakes have already been made about which clubs and tracks are not required. Which of the "big wigs" want to be branded with any further closures of useful facilities? Awapuni is going well with no running rail and no lights. Levin will not be sold to fund those.
