Brodie Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Just having a look thru the fields for Haddington Friday night! Only 8 races and several with very small fields! Doesnt appear to be worth a crack on most of them! Public cant go on course so turnover going backwards? When there is only this number of horses racing for not too bad $, what is going on?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Just realised that Westport at Addington is on Sunday and have far bigger field no.s Not sure why you would prefer to run on the Sunday for less stakes and more horses? Differing class assessment I appreciate but the non winners on Friday has 7 starters?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westport is at Rangiora on Sunday and on the grass ( going by your posts something u smoke way to much of) hence the bigger fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit weird thought I read that the 2 day Westport meeting was going to Addington. Bit weird that one day gone to Addington and thought that the 2nd day would’ve also been on the same course but clearly not. So yeah why do so many more prefer to race on the grass for less and against more? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I would alter the title of the thread to ,"there's too much racing at Addington and Riccarton." Plenty of demand at other venues in both codes. Perfectly good venues and tracks sitting under utilised. And plenty of good holes in the fence for me to climb through, to avoid the vaccine pass police. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can only agree Thank you for pointing out that Westport have a meeting on Sunday at Addington I knew that they were racing at Rangiora on Sunday but I wasn't aware that they had a second meeting the same day at Addington Surely 1 Club racing at 1 venue on 1 day is enough On the money again aren't you Mikie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Mr Never Ever, why have they split the meetings over the 2 different courses then? Why would they want to race on Rangiora when they arent allowed crowds on course anyway??????? Wouldve made more sense surely to race on the best track in NZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted that the fields for Addington on Friday night are small Then you posted that Sunday's fields are big Then you state that it would make more sense to race at Addington on Sunday Can't you follow your own posts?
