  • The Sistema Railway Saturday 25 January Indicative Weights

    There has been significant interest around the indicative weights for one New Zealand’s elite sprinting contests, the Sistema Railway (Group 1), SW&P, $700,000. The Sistema Railway has moved from its traditional New Year’s Day date to the Karaka Million raceday, with the raceday also announced as a World Pool event. The World Pool showcases great racedays around the world and provides the opportunity for punters to bet into mammoth, international commingled totalisator pools. The World Pool is an excellent revenue stream for the industry. The Sistema Railway is weighted under Set Weights and Penalties conditions, as set out in 8.7 of Standard Regulations. TAB has opened a Pre-Noms market for the race. We have used their market to provide an indication of weights, as at today’s date. Noting, obviously these can change with future black-type wins.

These have been approved by both Entain NZ in terms of servicing and TAB NZ through the dates process. The meetings on 2 and 17 November were previously confirmed. Included in these relocations are two RACE meetings. These have also been moved due to an anticipated delay in the return to racing at Awapuni. This is due to a particularly wet spring and the consequential deferral of sand-slitting the track. The Little Avondale Stud Lowland Stakes will now race on Sunday 2 March. This and two black-type races on Saturday 12 April (Hawke’s Bay Cup meeting) have received Pattern Committee approval in terms of their venue change.

Primarily, we use the quantifiable measures of weights and margins, but we also call on other criteria/tools for assessment such as field depth/quality, speed ratings, horse profile – record, history, age, the track conditions, the overall race set-up, etc. Presently, (as a guide only - and subject to assessing all data) the average Industry Day winner will move +4 points. Narrow margins can be lower, and wider margins higher. Feature/Premier Day winners can expect to be higher for comparable wins. Group race re-ratings At the top of handicap ratings (highest-rated horses), the re-ratings become more an alignment and assessment of quality. A good example is Bonny Lass in the Waikato Stud Foxbridge Plate (Group 2). While assessment measures were again utilized, more scrutiny is placed on her overall record and where she logically aligns with other high-rating horses. Bonny Lass was given a re-rating of +3 points taking her to 105. This placed her 1 point behind dual Group 1 winner Mustang Valley (106) – a logical fit. Second-placed Mali Ston was re-rated to 99 (+5 points) – 1.0kg behind Bonny Lass. And 0.5kg in front of Skew Wiff (3rd). He would be well-treated under handicap conditions against that pair, but it is an appropriate mark given he has yet to win a Group 1. Grail Seeker was another interesting re-rating example in the Westbury Stud Tarzino Trophy (Group 1) last Saturday, with an increase +19 points to rating 100. This re-rating was more procedural in assessment. In recent years the lowest a Group 1 WFA winner re-rating was Mercurial (98) in last year’s Telegraph – a messy-run race. For Grail Seeker’s comparison, Skew Wiff winning last year’s Tarzino Trophy moved to rating 100.

The track was inspected on Wednesday and found to be in safe condition for racing. The track was a Heavy10 prior to the 28mm of rain received. Rainfall intensity exceeded forecasts with an inspection on Thursday morning showing surface water at varying parts of the track between the 1400m and 800m. Following this the meeting was abandoned for reasons of safety. There was some further rain predicted. The meeting was unable to be re-scheduled for the following day (Friday) as it couldn’t be serviced by Entain NZ. With three CD meetings in four days  in the week starting Monday 22 July it has been decided not to reschedule. NZTR are open to dividing races at both Awapuni on Thursday and Otaki on Saturday. With potentially four jump races at Waverley it is unlikely that there will be divisions. Any abandonment is frustrating for all participants and costly to the industry however horse and rider safety cannot be compromised. An early call did mitigate both disruption and costs to the Industry. ...Read More Northern Raceday Services Statement on Pukekohe Park Click here to view the Northern Raceday Services Statement re the Abandonment at Pukekohe Park on Wednesday ...Read More Racing Rotorua | Saturday 20 July Friday Afternoon Weather: Raining Track: Heavy 10 Moisture Meter: 51.7% Rail: Out 4m Rainfall: 10mm Rain Last 24 Hours | 40mm Rain Last 7 Days Irrigation: Nil Weather and Track updated at 3.56pm Friday 19 July ...Read More R60 1200m Added to Riccarton 26 July ...Read More Hawkes Bay RI | Thursday 18 July Wednesday Morning  Weather: Cloudy Track: Heavy 10 Moisture Meter: 52.5% Rail: True Rainfall: 18.5mm Rain Last 7 Days | 0.5mm Rain Last 24 Hours Irrigation: Nil Weather and Track updated at 10.00am Wednesday 17 July ...Read More Winter Cup Second Withdrawals - Wednesday 17 July Please note second withdrawals for the Winter Cup are due Wednesday 17th July by 11am with the National Racing Bureau. ...Read More Nominations/Withdrawals & Riders For The Week Beginning 15 July ...Read More Mdn 2YO+ 1200m - Te Rapa 27 July ...Read More Avondale JC Trials | Tuesday 16 July TRIAL DAY Trial Day Weather: Cloudy | Foggy Track: Heavy 10 Moisture Meter: 38.1% Rail: True Rainfall: 30mm Rain Last 7 Days | 21mm Rain Last 24 Hours Irrigation: Nil Weather and Track updated at 6.35am Monday 15 July ...Read More R75 1550m Added to Cambridge - 24 July / Possible Consolation Races ...Read More Riccarton Synthetic Trials | Tuesday 16 July Nomination Morning  Weather: Showery Track: Synthetic Moisture Meter: N/A Rail: True Rainfall:  Irrigation: Nil Weather and Track updated at 8.50am Monday 15 July   ...Read More Foxbridge/Tarzino Ballot Exemption As an additional condition for The Tarzino Trophy both the winner and second placed horse in the Waikato Stud Foxbridge Plate on 24 August will be exempt from the ballot for The Tarzino Trophy to be held at Hawke’s Bay on 7 September. ...Read More Venue and Programming Changes 17 and 20 July Due to the unavailability of the Avondale course the meeting scheduled for Wednesday 17 July will now be an ATR meeting at Pukekohe Park.

Following the abandonments in November and December an aggressive renovation schedule was agreed upon by industry and track representatives, and this work took place from late December through to the end of January. It included aerating, groundbreaking and coring, along with undersowing, and gypsum applications. The irrigation system was also reviewed and improved where possible.  After local gallops last week, a thorough programme of 14 trials took place on the course proper on Monday 13 February, with relevant industry personnel in attendance. Following the trials the running rail into the back straight was also realigned with a number of horses galloping on the area near the Synthetic Track Crossing on Friday 24 February with senior riders aboard to achieve a final tick of approval.  All participants were happy with the rail alignment and track surface. ...Read More Meeting and Venue Changes – North Island Following the extension of the State of Emergency and ongoing recovery from the devastating effects of Cyclone Gabrielle on the Hawke’s Bay region, the decision was made by Hawke’s Bay Racing and NZTR to transfer the Little Avondale Lowland Stakes Raceday from Hastings to Awapuni on Wednesday 1 March. The Hawke’s Bay Racing Centre is currently being utilised as a Distribution and Recovery Centre and an Animal Refuge and Welfare Centre. Hawke’s Bay Racing, with the support of New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, want to continue to support the ongoing recovery work that is being done. Drawing regional resource away from this recovery would not be appropriate, with many families still trying to locate loved ones. The programme for Wednesday 1 March will remain unchanged. With Te Aroha still unavailable for racing due to recent weather events, the meeting scheduled for Te Aroha on Friday 10 March will now move to Wednesday 8 March and be conducted by the Taupo RC at Taupo. Due to a prior motor-racing commitment adjacent to the course, Taupo were unable to race on 10 March. As a consequence, the Otaki-Maori racemeeting scheduled for Wednesday 8 March will move to Friday 10 March. At this meeting there has been a minor programme alteration with the R60.

Whilst disappointing for all involved, we believe this is the right decision at a time where the focus needs to be on responding to the challenges a number of people are dealing with as a result of the poor weather.  Our thoughts go out to those people who have been impacted and hope for a speedy recovery in particular to our friends in Wairoa who we were very much looking forward to hosting their Wairoa Cup Raceday on Sunday. We do however want to thank the team at Taranaki Racing Club, for adding the Affco NZ Ltd Wairoa Cup OPN HCP 1900m to their raceday this Friday and we wish you all the best for the meeting. Given the somewhat early notification, we hope trainers have sufficient time to make alternate race plans, whilst at the same time we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Whilst many people have been affected across the East Coast and other parts of New Zealand, Hawkes Bay Racing Club are proud of our support of the Hawkes Bay Community and as such we are opening our doors to those in need of power, internet and a dry space to relax.  We will also be providing meals for anyone in need of food over the next 3 days as residents battle with various challenges.  This will provide the people of Hawkes Bay an opportunity to unwind, whilst also providing an opportunity for a ‘mate check’ to enable residents to reach out if they require support of any kind. Further to this, we are looking to offer stables for anyone in need of horse accommodation.  Please call Richard Fenwick – 027 235 8556 All the best to those racing this week. Stay safe Hawkes Bay Racing. Aaron Hamilton Chief Executive ...Read More Hawke's Bay Abandoned A decision has been made to abandon Sunday’s race-meeting at Hastings.

Following this decision, which was made on the basis of a favourable weather forecast with respect to rain, the Hawera Track, which does not have irrigation, was verti-drained on Friday. This was followed by rainfall over the weekend. Regional Track Advisor Bart Cowan will inspect the track on Sunday to ensure the track is still on target to race. This is the same process that was recently undertaken to ensure Waipa was safe for trialing given the time of year. New Plymouth will also be inspected on Monday with a view to racing returning to the venue. Post this inspection a further decision will be made as to a venue for the December 27 race day. ...Read More December 26 Raceday Moved to Otaki The licence previously held by the Manawatu RC  has transferred to the Otaki-Maori RC with the race-meeting taking place at Otaki.

What was very clear is that NZTR Management, Industry Participants and RACE Group have no confidence in the Awapuni Course proper being reliably presented in a safe raceable fashion in its current state, until we receive independent information on what remedial work is required. This information will be received in the coming week, NZTR management will also review the possibility, if any, of revisiting the start date for reconstruction of the Course proper.  Regardless of the outcome, NZTR has determined that racing on the Awapuni Course Proper will not be possible on either, Saturday 17th or Monday 26th December. Once independent reports are received NZTR management will decide what is required to regain confidence in delivering a safe surface.  The immediate decisions made were as follows:  The 17th December Humphries Construction Manawatu Cup Meeting scheduled for Awapuni will now be held at Trentham. The programme remains unchanged with the exception of a R75 2200m race ($35,000) being added after both the R75 and Open staying races were unable to be run last Saturday. This race will be a Dunstan Qualifier. Lawnmaster Eulogy Stakes will be run at Te Rapa next Saturday. The rationale applied to this decision was based on attracting a field of the quality it deserves, 7 of the 10 starters from yesterday were based from New Plymouth to Waikato and it could not be expected these fillies would again travel should the decision have been made to run the race at Trentham. This will also assist fillies heading for Pukekohe on Boxing Day as travelling back to Trentham would make it very difficult to continue on that path.

They mainly galloped in lots of four with senior riders Jake Lowry, Corey Campbell and Shankar Muniandy being three of the riders. The track was rated in the Soft 6/7 range and in drizzling rain at times. All riders reported they were very happy with the track and an inspection showed the horses were getting solid footing in the ground with plenty of give. These gallops were undertaken in the presence of both the RIB and track manager who were satisfied with the track and happy to proceed to raceday on Tuesday 1 November. ...Read More Avondale – Update Thursday 27 October Following on from the abandonment of the trials at Avondale on Tuesday, Regional Track Advisor Jason Fulford has been onsite on Tuesday evening to inspect the track and has worked closely with the Avondale JC track staff to put in place an irrigation plan through to raceday on Wednesday 2 November.   Jason Fulford and NZTR Representative Matthew Williamson inspected the track on Thursday 27 October to ensure the irrigation plan is sufficient and also to finalise a plan which will also involve moving the running rail to 3m. The Club will also gallop horses on the track on Monday morning. The track will continue to be monitored by NZ Thoroughbred Racing and the Regional Track Advisor through to Wednesday to ensure the provision of a safe racing surface. New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing are currently working through the possibility of compensation for horses affected by the abandonment with the Avondale Jockey Club and will provide a further update to the industry regarding this as soon as possible.

While this was a very difficult decision, a waterlogged track and continual forecast rain meant racing would not have been able to be safely held. The Hastings track has had continual rain over the past couple of months but had come back well over the past week although the Moisture meter remained high, indicating the level of moisture under the surface.  The track had only had 3ml of rain by 6pm on Friday evening, which was much lower than had been previously forecast. However, with 17ml of rain falling over Friday night, a Track Inspection was carried out at 6.30am Saturday by John Oatham (RIB), Brady Jones (RIB), Darin Balcombe (NZTR) and Richard Fenwick (HBRI Track Manager) along with other HBRI Club Officials. Two horses galloped with senior riders aboard, which were getting well into the track. During the inspection, it continued to rain and the forecast was for this rain to continue throughout the morning. A further 8ml was recorded by 10am. The decision to abandon the raceday was made prior to the scratching deadline to avoid as many horses as possible travelling. Prior to the raceday, contingencies had been discussed, including postponing a meeting to Tuesday should either of the Central Districts racedays be abandoned over the weekend due to the inclement forecast in the region. Postponing Saturday's Hastings meeting to Tuesday was quickly discounted due to the forecast through to the early part of next week. Consideration was also given to transferring the meeting to another Central Districts venue but due to travel of horses, race distances, other options and indifferent weather forecast across the Central Districts, this was not preferred.
