Waikato Guineas

I have just noticed that Te Rapa has an industry day programmed next Wednesday , but not just any industry day , no they have dropped the Waikato Gns G2 2000mtrs for 3yos into the programme .

This has obviously been done rather than race on the usual Herbie Dyke day which is a week before the Avondale Gns which then divides the 3yos .

But seriously , is our calendar that stuffed up that rather than find a decent progression via proper use of the calendar they just throw it at some low key meeting . Are they that lazy . 

Nothing much surprises me now with NZTR but this has , i have for a long time said the calendar needs a complete revamp where proper progressions are set for age group racing as well as every other level . The 2yo race at New Plymouth is another race that doesn't sit right in the progression to the G1 races for juveniles , but year on year they just keep moving it around so that it doesn't interfere with the really important 2yo races .

But such an important lead up to the Derby just thrown into a midweek industry , really .

Or is this just another case of the bully boys from ATC not working with the industry to get it right for all ?
