Those who watched Geymouth yesterday and(fingers crossed) Reefton tomorrow and Kumara Saturday. Kurow, Teherenikau Thames Gisborne Wairoa in their day. Big crowds out enjoying Summer racing on tracks that are safe if not Flemington standard. What in God's name is the rationale for closing course where people want to go????? Racing needs all the friends(AND exposure to the masses) it can get but what is the thought process? Shut em down and treat the remainder like shiite Incidentally Dunedin boxing day with $400K or thereabouts in stakes - $63k oncourse turnover(I understand). Greymouth did over 80k yesterday on $130k in stakes Kumara will do $300k minimum Saturday on similar to Grey. Do they not want people introduced to racing? We will do $70k maybe given a coupe of light fields and only seven races. Waikouaiti(which is the bugbear meeting for us) will be flat doing $60k on another $350k plus stakes day. Something does not add up here and someone is far too dim to recognise it Hopefully the weather holds for tomorrow, looking at the forecast of easterly may just get through the day ok. Quote

If you want to get people on course, put on a concert or a 20/20 cricket match or something. As far as I can see people on course just create a nuisance to participants including the horses and gives those people other things to spend their money on than the wagering that funds racing. 2 Quote

KickintheKods Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Due to a horse slipping today’s race-meeting at Reefton has been abandoned following the running of Race 1. Bad luck Team Reefton. Hugely disappointing for everyone. 2 Quote

billy connolly Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Entirely Moseley's fault IMO and if he wasn't on the mat for careless riding he should've been. 3 Quote
