mikeynz Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Timaru gallops have another day next season in late July that hasn't gone to the AWT, .6 for Timaru plus Waimate, and then a few harness days as well, seems a long way from the listed for closure days now. 1 Quote
mikeynz Posted May 21 Posted May 21 And I note Foxton Racing Club have a date at Otaki in July next year, must be sometime since they had a raceday, or is it? 1 Quote

You'll find that it is the Castletown Stakes Meeting which this season is hosted by the Otaki Maori Racing Club. Next season it is Foxton RC at Otaki. No doubt Otaki will subsidise the course rental for the day. Quote
