Honestjohn Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 We’ve cancelled our bookings, for our motels, four units of visitors kaikoura will miss out on. Plus booze money. (A lot) 8 of us go up. Have done for years. My liver will get a rest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 I will be in Ashburton on Flying Stakes day. I suppose St Cindy's rules will keep me outside the course, so I might have to resort to the time honoured climb through the hole in the fence trick. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Yip i read that article as well,and i thought 'holy shit,no way'. Would be a massive kick in the guts for the team down in Kaikoura if this was too happen,for the clubs sake i surely hope this isn't the case. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no way will they race at kaikoura this year, no time to plan or get horses to track. Who would have thought, no cases in sth island for ages, go figure, I’m 😡 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Hopefully HRNZ make the call early on, so many can cancel bookings etc. The Kaikoura club could do ok out of it if addington takes the meetings, with plenty of dining options with no limits, many would take up that offer, as long as prices not too greedy, if they are, will go to pub and bet with sportsbet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 So it's now official. The meeting to go ahead at Addington. Locals must be disappointed. The upside is that the feature races may feature some of the top line horses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I read an article this morning that said Hawkes Bay game this Saturday said thousands allowed in at L2? ...... surely this can't be allowed as it's a seated event but at the Trots people stand up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of questions need to be asked. The Kaikoura pres said it's the uncertainty of what level 2 entails that drove them to this.

You looked at flight radar lately, Akld to KL right now, KL to akld right now. Dozens of internal flights, there is no border. Hj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
