NZTR’s National Track Advisor Todd Treweek has inspected the Trentham track which was a Dead 5 on the morning of Wednesday 12 January.

There has been 116mm irrigation applied over the past 9 days and the intention is to apply more this week as needed. The grass cover is good and core samples taken at various parts of the track, along with the Moisture Meter reading (38%), indicate good moisture to a depth of 200mm. CD trainers representatives had also walked the track earlier in the week and declared themselves happy with its preparation.
