Ludwig Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Has anyone heard any recent information? On the sale of the track, who to and for what sum? And most important, where is the money from whatever has been sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbury Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Forbury was the best track for betting I loved the place everyone had a go there.worse decision I've seen to close it.the main reason it was such a bad decision was the track floods.i have a picture of it under water.so how can they sell it for housing.forbury has to be worthless and they should be racing there again.the turnover was good there and Manawatu pathetic turnover and racing and betting and still open.i think it does not flood and could have housing in it.the mind boggles with hrnz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canterbury seems to be the only district that can provide enough horses consistently to run racing all year round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Forbury gone has taken away a dimension that added interest, the Canterbury and Southlandes meeting in the middle, I'm sure if some of those good pacers were racing there as once before then the interest would have stayed. Invercargill have scrubbed 2 meetings this season, not even a mention of the second one, it's all becoming a bit uninteresting., seems the bigger tracks are more popular, yet the North only have two pokey tracks, spouse they have no choice but just take it or leave it.
