Chief Stipe Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 You have to laugh though. Pukekohe @ Avondale! All the money the industry has wasted on the Counties swamp (Awapuni?) and they end up racing at the unwanted track Avondale! Which from what I've seen so far is racing damn well today for a winter track. But WTF is this rap music during the replays? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beef i have is why , when there is Otaki , Waverley , Woodville , Hawera all sitting idle . They are so tunnel visioned . Same up north , Counties were supposed to be having their 3rd meeting today , why did they have to have another one ? now Avondale ( the racetrack no one wanted ) having their second meeting in 4 days , why , again other tracks available . It's this sort of management that gives me no confidence that things can be turned around . Not even mentioning Riccarton . Same in the south. Good winter tracks sitting idle while Riccarton gets hammered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion this is good. I've been promoting the shifting of meetings based on track conditions for years. Highlights why we shouldn't close them all down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i see this Saturdays meeting at Palmy is actually a WRC meeting , why could this not have been run at Trentham , got to be in better nick than Awapuni having it's 3rd meeting inside 4 weeks , and i think nom's prove this . I understand the decision was made during Covid but surely once things got back to near normal much faster than anticipated then why couldn't adjustments be made to reflect that . Otaki , Woodville and Hawera are all just sitting idle . I think this is just slack management , they would get more plaudits for being big enough to make changes than trying to stick to their guns until clubs say their tracks aren't handling the load . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bloggs Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 You have to have a level of intelligence to do that Nomates, sadly, that's missing. Sell Trentham then, what vision do these people have, is it so hard to plan ahead, with a Plan B? Otaki or Woodville, no argument there either, I wouldn't employ one of these people, I used to think Millennials were bloody near useless, wrong, they'd run rings around the boffins on Jackson!

It is deemed a training and trials facility by NZTR which won't support a race date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
