Trentham

[Wingman]

Just had a look at the calendar for Dec/Jan and with Trentham picking up Manawatu first day they have from yesterday to the end of January a Saturday meeting every 2 weeks. Then I noticed they have also a 'middling' meeting next Sunday, 45-50K stakes. Why has this not been transferred to Woodville to help take some pressure off the Trentham track?  Woodville had trials last Tuesday, then nothing scheduled for the next 2 months!

Have Woodville got an irrigation system yet?  

[Wingman]

Don't know. I do know there was some NZTR blurb about Waverley and I think, prepared to be corrected, Hawera getting irrigation systems but for whatever reason, Woodville appears to be on the outer which makes little sense to me. I am also of the opinion that irrigation is a January/ February requirement as opposed to NZTR nonsense that all tracks must always try to present as a good 4. Trentham was perfect on Saturday due to Mother nature.
