The Centaur Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Anyone been to a container mall overseas or Christchurch and New Plymouth? Would seem an ideal fit for racing clubs as the structures are not permanent giving extra life to flagged tracks With the markets already at Avondale that would seem an excellent option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Hawera Harness races a couple of years ago and there was a market on at the race course at the same time, it was brilliant. I like the races but I do find the time in between races on course can be quite boring giving nothing much is going on for a large part of it on most race days.

Excellent idea... ...would work perfectly at FOXTON...where the best track in the CD is hopelessly left idle...because they want to build a flash stand.. yea na Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Who wants to build a flash stand at Foxton? What's wrong with the recently refurbished one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last race meeting held at Foxton? 27 Oct 2011 but between May and October they had 5 meetings and fields held up well. Fritzy Boy was a notable winner in one of those meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmon what's the go with FOXTON ffs? Are you lot on the Committee committed to getting racing back there.. ...or just stirring the NZTR types and making political statements to further the stubbornness factor when forced into a corner by the suits? This place is a good reason why a NZ Racing dictator should be in charge to make things happen isn't it..and why country Committees don't work... ...after all...who's in control of NZ Racing... Its the Clubs isn't it...looking after their own self interests?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
