Happy Sunrise Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Barry Lichter is fast becoming a key man in this information war. That draft put out by RITA was almost unreadable with its colour choice on a white background. https://www.lincolnfarms.co.nz/stories/check-out-where-when-and-how-many-times-theyre-racing-in-the-20-21-draft-harness-dates/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Cambridge 34 meetings, Auck 36? Wow Lots of meetings Cambridge, shit front runners track, not good for punting on with mostly lower class racing. Auckland & Addington predictable nowadays, keep the lead until stablemate, brother, uncle or other relation comes around to plan race. Ashburton gets less meetings than Oamaru, Methven get more than motukarara?? FFS, strange. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three tracks where I was introduced to harness racing have now all gone. Hutt park, Manawatu and Forbury. Good luck getting the next generation interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends on what happens to the venues but hard to sell when there is no racing near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwig Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So they expect Tuapeka to race at Oamaru.. the person who came up with that clanger needs to be spanked. What's the bet that Tuapeka lose a lot of local community interest? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 There are some pluses though. "Where are the harness races tonight?" - Addington "Where are the harness races today?" - Addington ...................... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can believe it. The track has been on borrowed time and now the reckoning is here. It might be sad but I don't care as I never attended a meeting there in past few years despite living in Blenheim. What will the club do now, sell the land? It would be worth plenty. It is sad for local trainers including, M Gill and Anne-Marie Best, but closure was inevitable. Nelson will now struggle to survive. I think it will be lucky to last another two or three years. I don't think many trainers will venture north just for two meetings especially now that Addington has increased it's dates five-fold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont bother with your pathetic effort of showing Mark Purdon with one of his 5 horses that he raced at Greymouth, and reckon that shows he was a big campaigner if horses there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
