Awapuni Anzac Day

[Muzza]

Was there any reason why the AWT at Awapuni was not used for the est of the minor card at least. Wasnt that one of the selling points of the things. I understand there was a reasonable crowd there. Doesnt exactly entice them back for a day out does it. I understand there may have to be prep done on the track but surely it wouldn't be too hard to have it ready prior to the day.

Some wondered if the safety limit of 12 was in place for that very reason.

Who knows how many would have scratched if that option was put up?  There would have been horses entered that would never have been on one.

Sure I get that, but at least there would have been some racing and Connections would have had an option rather than be told to go home.

It seems the All Weather tracks have not had the support from trainers, they would rather keep nags in the barn once meetings are cancelled…. than race on the grit.
