Perhaps you are right in a black and white rule sense however if the responsibility for the safety of the track on raceday resides with the Stewards then surely it is in their best interests to ensure that the track is galloped on prior to the first race. Other wise Race One is even more of a Crash Test Dummy exercise. In saying that it seems it is the Jockey's who make the descision to ride or not ride and thus abandon or not abandon the meeting. -
Merry Christmas to you all, i hope owners horses win and punter take Entain to the cleaners. Thanks to the owner of the site , cant be easy at times but he makes it look s that way -
Liz it looks like Race has found another way to lose money. For the last financial year their catering income was $2641k and outgoings $,2988k, a deficit on catering of $347k. In their usual wisdom they opened a cafe at Trentham which is hidden away as you enter the course proper and in the Chief Financial Officer's report, she states that the cafe is under performing. Just another Race blunder . Also, I note that they have borrowed another $3.9M. Why would any Bank lend Race money given their appalling history. -
Have you sorted out a South Island based trainer, yet Nelli cos you will need one soon given ATCs continual losses and hopeless business acumen

The Arima Kinen (G1) often has been the final start for Japanese stars but, with Do Deuce missing that assignment in the Dec. 22 renewal, it was 3-year-old filly Regaleira leading a youth movement in the final placings.View the full article -

Merry Christmas Leigh and to all Racecafe members. Been another great year of superbly run competitions, good banter ( mostly ), humour and debate. Hope you all have a happy holiday season with your families, and if you get the chance, go and support your local club on course and experience NZ racing up close and personal…nothing like it….. And may 2025 bring many more winners to you all….🥳 -

Don't think that's the stewards job to do. It's not a rule of racing. It's the NZTR track preparation policy and should be enforced by them. -

And it was remiss of me not to thank all the contributors to all the comps throughout the year...all donations and contributions are greatly appreciated as this is not an inexpensive exercise keeping the lights on here...and also thanks to Pondy and others for helping out on the rare occasion Saynomore is unavailable....hope that covers everything now....cheers. -

The Stewards take over control of the meeting from the Club as per the rules of racing. Which begs the question why aren't Stewards insisting on horses being galloped prior to racing on the morning of the races? Didn't happen at Hawkes Bay and possibly the Te Rapa abandonments. -
Cheaha missed the start and that was that, it happens. Warren K has a big opinion of it so wouldn’t ignore that.

The club don't control the meeting. The decision is the stewards, so I doubt you are right gubellini. -

Na not Wightman. He rarely writes about any wagering he may do and equally rarely makes grammatical or spelling errors. -
Canterbury Man it would need a legal opinion but if a meeting went ahead after a track inspection and a jockey was injured or killed I would think it would be classified as a workplace accident and the club would be subject to a crippling fine by OSH. -

I dont think so. Seems like theyve been silent for the most part and havent been allowed to acknowledge it. Even the govt been cold silent on it
