Was wondering what happens to Forburys days when their days are over,Tuepeka race there,someone must be in the know by now,incidentally if Blenhiem got the winter days back Nelson probably would as well or will a never ending sundays of Addington now be the norm

My eyes my eyes !!!!!! holy crap even at 150% I struggle to read that garbage a 10 year old has typed up.

Without knowing the number of meetings for this season on grass have they increased for next year??? proven to be high turnover meetings so you'd hope the suits took notice but I won't hold my breath.

1st grass meeting I can see is November 21 and the last April 24.

Methven in september is the first meeting on grass,personally in some ways I think there is a bias,hopefully that's the right word towards Canterbury in the whole calandar,maybe a even spread of sunday meetings for Southland and Canterbury would seem fairer.

Wyndhams gunna be busy.

The success of the grass tracks has been a proven formula for some time now,but seems to be ignored or unwanted by some clubs.Why don't winton and wyndham do whatever is necessary to allow meetings on their grass tracks.Why doesn't a track like timaru run one,they have a meeting on a sunday in  october, which falls on a weekend with no grass track meeting.What about places like ashburton,or don't they want to give the public what they want.

Its always been something that seems obvious,and the success they are heralding recently seemed to be a bit of a no brainer beforehand.

Also why don't the clubs suggested run some races on the all weather and some on the grass. Why can't they have a system in place whereby if the weather means the track is poor, they just transfer the races to the all weather the day before,or on the day. Simply a matter of balloting a couple more in the event of that happening and paying them a starting fee in the unlikely event of the transfer.

They should race on grass at ashburton cup week it would be great especially for all the visitors from north island and aussie

Sometime the galloping clubs don't like harness racing on the grass yet Forbury Park and Otago racing club wanted 6 days but only got 2 maybe they may get a all weather track and get a few more days in the future,they will have plenty of funds once they sell out,getting back to the grass track,yep they seem popular than ever,it just adds some variety.
