Based on nominations for 1 race for Greymouth will they consider running a extra race.

What? Bit late for that. Acceptances are out (closed).

Noms were left open until 9 this morning, withdrawals at ten.   To give them time to decide.

I guess the conspiracy theorists must have got it wrong when it comes to racing being centralised in Auckland/Waikato.

One of Ellerslie's big days, which now has no G1, effectively guzumped  by Trentham and the G1 Telegraph and the same stake money, 2 days later.

Yet another move for the Levin Classic

I don't know the dynamics of the southern programming committee.  Is there only one trainer on it?  

It seems there are four trainers on this committee so, you can't blame one trainer for any problems.

Who is the dominant one of the four?  Self-interest drives most decision making and most of the time that is in the interests of all.  Sometimes it isn't.

Who are they now? They are appointed annually at the Trainers' Association branch AGM, aren't they? I thought usually 3.
