That's what I thought.  They mentioned Te Aroha and somewhere else but Hawkes Bay got the nod IF Ellerslie is ruled out

According to the NZTR "Plan B" message this morning, Ellerslie on Sunday is the preferred option if alert levels are lifted. Hastings seems to be Plan C but there is no mention of when. Communications are very poor on this matter imo.

You do have to have a little sympathy for them(and for others with major events).  This cockup is not the ARC's or NZTR's fault but I can't see them running at Ellerslie if it doesn't resolve itself very quickly

And I imagine the Hastings crowd will be light given the lack of publicity.  Thought Trentham might have been a better and more logical option provided they could dish up a decent fair track

Well if there is no change to the levels Hastings will be racing under Level 2 restrictions. ie no public admission.
