This is how incompetent NZTR are , I have just an email from NZTR informing me that the meeting has been abandoned , but unfortunately for them it is a bulk email which shows me everyone's email address . 800+ . 🤦♀️
Round 3 - Rosehill R1 (1 of 😎
47 entries this week - the same 47 who played last week.
13 on the winner including a best bet for Majestic who leads the way after the first. 33 on the runner-up and 5 of those with the quinella.
#11 late scratched, #18 the sub.
Balcombe has just been on and says this has come out of left field , WTF , does he need a truck hitting him , this has been an issue at HB for the last few years . This is the bullshit thaty needs to stop , the suits aren't losing any money this week are they .
Their argument for closing tracks and taking their meetings to central tracks was to save the owners money , in recent years this process has cost owners an absolute mint in lost transport money and travel and accommodation for those owners that have travelled to watch their horses .
The problem with this was that the tracks they chose to host multiple clubs simply haven't been up to the job .
Selected as premier tracks that have had issues :
New Plymouth
Hastings
Awapuni
Trentham
Riccarton
Ellerslie
This is damning to those in charge .
Round 3
Hastings abandoned so the comp will be run over the remaining 8 races - we need 6 minimum for the results to stand.
For those with best bets at Hastings (myself included) that is just bad luck
So bloody frustrating, and if you're ever wondered why we don't include more NZ races in the comps, here is your answer.
I loved Tang, one of my favourite filles from my early days following racing. I think I saw her race at Tauherenikau on Waitangi day when I was a young fella.
When they go past the winning post is when the horses are at there fastest and a bit tired , perfect recipe to slip over turning after the winning post
