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.

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.
