Wingman Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The cost, inconvenience, and massive disruption to fine tuned preps cannot go on. At the moment there is a guarantee of sorts that one of the three days of the Spring Carnival at Hastings will not go ahead. NZTR Board have an opportunity to say enough is enough and walk away from this track. In doing so, that might wish to consider if their continued insistence of over watering to 'achieve' consistency has created the opposite effect. The Venue plan to 31 July 2029 in commenting on the Hawkes Bay closes with the following "Discussions continue about the long-term venue for Hawkes Bay RI. NZTR will make further announcements in this regard, as and when appropriate." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago It's a tired looking track and they are already starting to sell off land around it. I have no idea why they haven't pulled down the old tote building. The entrance to the car park at the top of the straight is hidden away with zero signage. It is probably destined to be a little provincial track with low key racing and a reasonable climate, but it might have been cheaper to retain Wairoa and Waipukurau for that and sell off Hastings for housing. If they sold off Hastings they could probably have a $1m Waipukurau Cup every year., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
