JackM Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) What`s the reason .....Unsafe track? Edited November 19, 2018 by JackM Quote
pete Posted November 19, 2018 Author Posted November 19, 2018 Probably rain on a firm track. Don't think they have irrigation at Waipa. Quote
Thomass Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 1-2mls....Jocks pooed their daks and pulled the pin Just shut the place down... THE worst course for abandoned meetings....especially spring autumn Its an antiquated olde fashioned load of old cobblers course without irrigation.... Quote
Poisoned Dwarf Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Mainbrace, Kalgoorlie, Wally Pratt, Bill Sanders, Joe Wickliff and Jack McDonald are very tearful in the upstairs bar Quote
Thomass Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Someone should get Executed for this Dee warf... Why don't They put the Harrows over it then Sand it...you know the harrisand protocols Quote
hesi Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 It's all under control Waipa are moving to the new Waikato complex, location unknown, in 2026 Sounds like a plan Wonder if the Auckland traffic planners had any input Quote
Freda Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Of course. Wonderful idea. I presume the Cambridge allweather will take up the slack until then? ? Quote

Freda Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 We are told that 'things are underway ' wrt all weather at Cambridge. Cambridge locals don't know wtf is going on and refer to " issues ". Matamata wants it they say. A Matamata identity says no one tells him what is happening. Great progress I reckon. 1 Quote

Bernard Saundry told us unequivocally at Oamaru that Cambridge has $4m now and provided it gets the money from Shane Jones' fund the process is underway. It was me asked the question why it wasn't underway (after he said they had the $4m) and he assured us that it was. Don't know why the Cambridge people would not be in the know???? Quote

Racing to be essentially an 'off course' activity to generate betting. Quote
hesi Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 So why close it down in 2026 and move to the new $80 mil Waikato Greenfields whatever, if racing is to be seen as an essentially off course activity to generate betting Quote

My enthusiasm for all weather tracks about matches my enthusiasm for the game in general just now so I haven't done any thinking about that question. Brian de Lore and Winston will know all the answers though I am sure. Quote
Thomass Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 That's right... You should have a picture of Winn on your wall...like your ancestors did for Micky... Kneel before him every morning and thank da Gods the Knats are consigned to the small house for at least 5 more years... ...and you won't have to listen to that Guy talking any more b/s enjoy Quote

This great Government is actually 'Governing'...which is what they're meant to do... ...the Knats took laissez faire beyond that and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about INFRUSTRUCTURE Your Knat Guy was the archetypal hands off Minister... Then your hero Sir Pat got off his ass and told his flock how to vote ...and they voted You're worrying wayyy too much about the insignificant Coast and their place in racing..but fear not...it'll get sorted after NZTR get into Winn's talangi... ...and he'll listen...

Thomass Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 BTW, Bernie was on today and it sounds like they're going to insist TA get irrigation.. ..or else it'll be closed down It took them long enough to figure out racing at TA in the spring and Autumn is madness The number of abandoned meetings there is legendary ffs Quote
