    Hard to figure why. They were almost all marked 'closed (FULL)' on the website so no lack of demand and with 2 masters in NGH and Walshy doing the tutelage I can see why. There's more than one or two going round on raceday at the moment that would have benefited.

    There were some earlier in the year but they seem to have stopped. https://loveracing.nz/Events/Featured-Events/Ride-to-Time.aspx

    What happened to that initiative here where they were teaching ponyclub kids etc. to ride to time?

    If you'd averaged your guess and mine, we'd have been dead on.

    No real interest in the Everest. But also am with The Chosen One in what is the crappiest CC I can remember.
  7. curious
    Yeahh but you have 3 straights compared to the usual 2.

    Of course they do but I don't see why that means they should pay back the stakes subsidies for those days any more than any other club should. I do agree that NZTR funding the sweepstakes races is a shocker.

    They get the same for those as premer and iconic days elsewhere.

    Why should they pay that back? They get the same subsidies as available to the rest of the industry If there's a problem, it's the basis for that which is unrelated to performance, especially wagering revenue performance.

    I note - Children are at almost zero risk of death from covid-19 and so the risk-benefit in this group is severely questionable

    As an owner, the fact that I am not allowed on course at Tauherenikau but am at Hastings would probably be a big factor in that decision as well.
  13. curious
    That's right. Anyone can race there and the extra funds come from ATR's and the 2 clubs' own revenue activities.

    What is Raceform?

    Just noticed a couple of trotting races in between the Korean fare. Geraldine. Track looked awesome. Didn't that used to be a good and pretty popular galloping venue? Maybe could also be recommissioned to take the pressure of Riccarton?

    I was going to say that if you wanted a hypothetical great kiwi mare match race, then that would have to be it. Showgate - Sunlne @ 1 mile. I'd be fair scratching my head trying to price a market for that.

    Are you joking? Calling that proposition a match race?

    And in Australia for whomever claimed rates had sky-rocketed. Despite early modelling at the outset of the pandemic predicting a steep rise in suicides, fortunately these latest ABS figures show that the number has decreased. In fact, the data shows suicide rates are the lowest they've been since 2016. This aligns with what we're seeing in many countries around the world, reversing a climbing trend prior to COVID-19. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/abs-data-suicide-rates-still-high-despite-2020-covid-drop/100504214

    Still no Awapuni on Sportsbet

    Karen and John training at Riccarton now?

    `Where did you see that? Or, do you mean in the UK when they reopened?

    In the year to 30 June 2021, 607 people died by suspected suicide, compared to 628 the year before – a decrease of 21 deaths, and a drop in the suspected suicide rate from 11.8 deaths per 100,000 to 11.6. https://coronialservices.justice.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Chief-Coroner-releases-annual-suicide-statistics-launches-new-web-tool-with-Ministry-of-Health2.pdf

    Hmmm... that's odd. Might have got confused when they took the original meeting down. Up on Topsport and Laddies though. There on 365 too but no prices yet which is usual for them.

    Any schooling fences left at Riccarton? Or did they disappear with the AWT build?
