    I'm guessing they'll need an extra 2-3 grand a year per horse in track fees to maintain it, let alone pay for it.
  2. curious
    No. It apparently doesn't make sense to race there anymore. Just send 180 horses round at the trials this week and probably similar in a couple of weeks time. I wonder where all those horses will actually race.

    There's no suggestion I'm aware of about selling Foxton.
  4. curious
    No Foxton is similar. Crown land. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/provincial/1869/0003/latest/whole.html

    There may have been a window for that at some stage but the CJC are in the racing business, not the land spec/development business, so why would they?
  6. curious
    Where to? They'll have to figure out a way to get water to run uphill for that to happen.
  7. curious
    They'll need a slick new irrigation system to be able to water it evenly in the summer nor'wests. How much will that cost and is that factored in?
  8. curious
    And the surface will blow away in the nor' wester if they don't keep it damp. You may end up with some mulching your garden Freda.

    Thanks I see it there now under the 3 dot drop down.

    Don't see how you could freehold something you don't own?

    Have we lost the edit function or is it just me?

    Oops.... I meant to add that they'll be lucky if that aannual estimate covers much more than the irrigation costs.

    That's consistent with the figures I've seen for maintenance in the US. The likes of Cambridge with several hundred horses using daily it may be more like every 4-5 years for full replacement and top ups are required in between. You also have the cost of daily manual removal of any manure on the surface. I'm bicking Tim's figure is probably 10% or less of the actual maintenance cost. Be interesting to know how that was arrived at.

    Seems to have recovered.

    My forum display has gone wanky and now includes snippets of posts under each header. I've tried to figure out how to reset it to headers only as it was but can't figure out how to do so. Help please Chief or someone. '

    Just give up Thommo. The ineptidude is systemic. No hope of fixing it now.

    They are only about $15m short based on what RITA/TABNZ have promised. Hopefully, they have that much left over from what they didn't have to pay out last year. Otherwise you are right. We can only hope that the tooth fairy is in a generous mode.

    Anyone know where they are getting the money from especially to match the total stakes to last year as they said they would?
  21. curious
    Yep. A right F up.
  22. curious
    Nobody seems willing or able to tell us. NZTR says ask RITA/TABNZ. They won't tell. Can't find out if there'll be enough money for blue ribbons by the end of the year.

    I think you'll find those are pre-race ear covers, not hoods but never mind.
  24. curious
    Magic. We have a few of those water walkers here too and I think it's not just the horses having fun!
  25. curious
    Something like this? Or similar to the UK system?
