Ludwig Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Last week the Gore gallops were held at, of all places, Gore. This week, the Gore harness races are at Wyndham. I know the powers that be have decreed this, but why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeynz Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Just another thought, Tuepeka are racing I think at Ascot Park on Sunday at labour weekend, I wonder if they have investigated the possibility of racing at Roxburg, where do the committee actually live.?

At one stage there was talk of racing Tuapeka at Oamaru. Just crazy. I wonder if they know where any of these places are Assuming that the Tuapeka club still has local committee involvement, the best places to race would be Roxburgh or even Wingatui. But going all the way to Invercargil? How many Tuapeka locals will turn up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big crowds at all meetings with emphasis on picnic type meetings for both racing and non racing folk. Pubs are great value as well post meetings and there is plenty of choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I haven’t been is I holiday in Nelson at Xmas, and do the two days at Richmond. So maybe plan it better this year? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you can go to either Roxburgh Omakau and Cromwell. For example this year Roxburgh was on 4th January and Wyndham at Cromwell on 6th. Check the calendar for this years dates. Great thing about it is that its always warm, even if the rain unexpectedly comes. If you stay in Cromwell ,trainers and drivers can usually be found at a pub at the mall called the Brew House. Very convivial. Hope this helps Edited September 29, 2021 by JJ Flash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwig Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 I've got to wonder why it took until 9.45p.m to post the stewards report from the meeting. It's not the biggest document in the world. Perhaps happy hour intervened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
