curious

No clue about any land transaction. @Special Agent might be able to throw some light on it if you want to know. My point was that I didn't see what you were going on about the LRC for in response to a comment about the successful Levin jump outs, when they have little to do with them.

So, would double that be fair in your mind or what?

As far as I know the jump outs are run by the Levin Track Operating Charitable Trust, but that is not under the ownership or control of the LRC is it?

So you think that Otaki is subsidising Levin race days by 10k+ per race day? I'm still struggling to understand what you mean here.

Not sure what you are talking about. The Levin Racing Club doesn't run the Levin jump-outs. And you have still failed to quantify how much you think Otaki is subsiding Levin's race days though you keep bringing it up.

Enough for reasonable fields at Timaru today, despite industry stakes, and arguably a stronger Timaru Cup field than the Rich Hill Mile. As I said, it's in a different programming region to Wingatui and that region should be catered for.

I'd also probably switch the December poly feature meeting to grass and elevate Kumara to feature.

Today's Timaru Cup meeting might be a good start?

What I am referring to as Canterbury is actually the northern SI programming region. Actually defined as 'north of the Waitaki'. Programming for that is supposed to be treated separately from the 'south of Waitaki' region. So, yes, it includes Timaru and the Coast. Let me know if I've missed a feature grass meeting there between cup week and late January.

For twilight level stakes not surprising. You'd need to think you had a 2/1 shot to make the travel a reasonable bet and there's 3 days coming up on the coast.

Is there?

Can anyone think of who might? Unless somehow NZTR think it improves wagering revenue?

When was that?

If you are going to change anything, this is the time to be doing it before the dates setting process gets under way in the new year. Once those are finalised in May, it's too late. As to who benefits from it, I have no clue and can't think of any possibilities.

They come out every 4 months in their final form. This one in October.
