Doesn't anyone want to race on a Heavy track anymore?  51mm in the last 7 days.  It won't get any worse.  If there is no surface water...

I don't think NZTR could ever put a meeting off again using visibility as an excuse after letting Cambridge go ahead mid-week.

I do recall somewhere in the dark recesses of my memory that at least one meeting was cancelled because the car park was flooded.

Yeah you're right.  I think it happened around 2005 as well.

I guess if Timaru don't go on Sunday then there is Oamaru next week, I think it's a urban myth about Oamaru and Timaru being better winter tracks, winter is winter, it can be hit or miss, Oamaru generally has a dry climate but seems when the gallops are on it invites rain.
