Mark D Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Is it on the list to be closed? Seems to fit the criteria Quote

Weasel Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 I'd say Cromwell is likely to get more meetings, not closure Quote
Mark D Posted December 2, 2018 Author Posted December 2, 2018 Yip well attended, get new people to racing, doesn't cost the "industry" a cent for upkeep, too successful Quote

hesi Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Wanganui – Venue with 11 race meetings in 2017/18. Good location. Training. Requires renovation of course proper and general facility improvements and landscaping. Leased/Freehold. Cromwell – Venue with 1 race meeting in 2017/18. Iconic one meeting venue. Fair location but growing population area. No training. Requires renovation of course proper, general facility improvements and landscaping. Leased. Both being retained Some should read the report before going off half cocked Edited December 2, 2018 by hesi Quote
Turny Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 Hesi, if it was freehold it would be gone 1 1 Quote
Turny Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 I am deciphering the report - if they are leasehold left alone, they can't rape the clubs assets 1 Quote
hesi Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 They are looking to amend the wording of the Racing Act, so not so much rape, as unlawful entry Quote
Mark D Posted December 3, 2018 Author Posted December 3, 2018 Good to hear although as I suspected the analysis can hardly be called "deep". Quote
