barryb Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Track looks a mess, bare patches everywhere and grass a mile long. Here we go again. Geoff the caterer has been assholed in favour off an average Hamilton outfit that has packet produce. A f--king silly 2 mt high black steel railing is fully around the parade ring and is H and S madness. Too high and obstructive viewing. Will we get through the day is the question, on seeing the track I have lost confidence I that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryb Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 The club system is totally f--king NZ Racing as evidenced last 2 weeks and here again today. Time for a fully accountable businesslike approach run centrally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Te Rapa one of those Iconic tracks that are well funded and managed by the racing elite of Waikato? How much centrally managed can you get? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark D Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 RTR breeze ups have obviously taken their toll. Same old track other than that - leaders/inside bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryb Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 You fellas will love this, just got kicked out of members for wearing sandals. Technically a scandal and an expensive pair at that I have worn much worse and been fine for years. A fella passes me with a slip on shoe with shorts from The Warehouse and hes fine, bloody classic. We are talking Te Rapa, not Ellerslie and it's a Public Holiday and 25c. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimbu Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I wouldn't be keen to race a horse at Te Rapa. Track looks rough & still resembles a sandpit to me. I wonder how many horses will land up with respiratory issues post this raceday? As for the continuing track bias. - no change there, it seems, either. Now we wait for Ellerslie. I am almost scared to imagine what might transpire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now its Kerr & Ladbrook http://www.kerrandladbrook.co.nz/about-us.html Everything was in plastic and made 2-3 days ago and tasted it. Probably just normal race day fare but we had become accustomed to quality stuff http://www.wildtribe.co.nz/partners.html If you are like Thomass, plastic wrapped stuff microwaved is fine is thats what you would normally have at home.
