Down there this  morning  No track fees and the track manager has it in pristine condition every morning.

Get him down here, can you?

The track manager is called 'Hughie', he's on holidays Freda, it was his birthday a few days ago.

Maybe a new track could be constructed,just move the sea out a bit further,simple.

It's probably wide enough already but it goes out quite a bit further by itself.

 What happens if you come off and break a limb, a man/woman could drown when the tide comes in. Do you carry a mask and snorkel just in case? at a least you don't have snake bite to contend with.

Also a saline water walker as well.

Did you use a penetrometer to select the right going relative to your desired work out?

No. A going stick that I found there made out of driftwood.

There's a lot of driftwood in Petone Curious.

When I was training down there at Woodend we had the same track manager. I think he's improved since he moved up here but he did a bloody good job down there way back when. Probably done a few NZTR track management courses since and of course he's lucky that he only has 6 horses going round on his track each day, not 600 so it doesn't take long to put the track back. He's pretty much semi-retired these days. You'd probably have to pay megabucks to get him back down there.
