Hawkes Bay Carnival Day 2

[hesi]

Being of course held at Te Rapa.  Most of the fields look reasonable.  I note 8 acceptors from the CD and 1 from the South Island, but no horses from the Hawkes Bay itself.  Why is that? it is their race meeting

I did a quick check Hastings to Hamilton is 300km or 4 hrs, almost identical to the distance and time to Wellington.
