Some big noms in some races yet starting limit for some is 10, why's that ?

Gender neutral race day. Policy dictates Gender Neutral races can only have 10 starters.

Rail out 5m?

I guess that's what you get if you thrash the track to help Riccarton out.

The theory seems to be that in our brave new world SI racing can basically survive through the winter months with the AWT and Ashburton, with the Riccarton turf popping up every now and again if really necessary. Obviously the trainers weren't consulted about this theory. If they were consulted it would be interesting to hear what they think of the idea now.

Ellerslie are doing the same with Pukekohe when Ellerslie has the "best all weather synthetic track" in the country.

The irony of Ellerslie having the winter off while Wingatui keeps going. I bet some old-timers wouldn't believe you if they were told that is the way we do it these days. Climate change must be about to take effect.
