Saddlery Warehouse Cambridge Highweight Bonus Series | 21 March, 2025

The jumps racing season is fast-approaching and many of New Zealand’s highweight jockeys will be back on track on Sunday at Matamata, with an added incentive of the Highweight Jockeys Bonus Series.

Highweight events offer races to jockeys above the average weight for flat racing, with horses carrying a minimum of 67kg without claiming allowances. Often these are used as a platform for jumps jockeys to gain fitness and prepare to go over fences and longer distances.

In the series sponsored by Saddlery Warehouse, jockeys will be able to accumulate points across the 18 highweight races on the calendar, spanning from the 23^rd of March to the 19^th of September. The series will span across the Northern and Central Districts, run in conjunction with jump meetings and flat meetings.

After the final race at Te Aroha, the winning jockey will receive $2000, with $1000 for second and $500 for third.

The series will kick off Sunday 23 March at Matamata with two highweight events programmed.

See the full schedule below for currently programmed races:

23 March - Matamata RC - MDN HWT 2000m

- Wanganui – Return to Racing complete
  
  As part of Wanganui’s Return to Racing, horses galloped yesterday with all jockeys happy with the track ahead of their next race meeting, Saturday 15 March.
  
  Following the previous abandonment at Wanganui it was identified that there was a rail alignment issue that contributed to horses slipping. A discussion has taken place regarding the rail and a solution found for the Club, NZTR, RIB and Jockeys Association to proceed with confidence into their next race date and beyond.
  
  NZTR would like to thank those Trainers and Jockeys that made the effort to be present at Wanganui and to be part of the solution.

- Rating 60 Races
  
  Rating 60 races have been well supported of late in terms of entry numbers. We have also seen a good spread of maiden and rated winners. It is noted that, in recent weeks, several maiden runners have been successful in R60 races.
  
  Programming at present has that a maiden race is generally not scheduled at the same distance on the same day as a Rating 60 race. Moving forward, NZTR may look to split Rating 60 races as Rating 60 and Maiden races if numbers support.

Sistema Railway indicative weights #Amended

*** Please note previous indicative weights had not included 3yo allowance for SWP.

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.

Handicapper’s Blog 13/9/2024

Re-ratings

The re-rating of winners is based on a number of factors. 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 (3^rd). 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. Th ...Read More

Return to Racing at Phar Lap Raceway

Return to Racing at Phar Lap Raceway

The final step of the Return to Racing process for Phar Lap Raceway was completed on Tuesday 10th September.

Nine horses galloped over the area where an issue occurred at the Clubs last meeting on June 9^th. The feedback from riders who rode Tuesday was very positive, saying that “the track was in beautiful order and didn’t shift at all”.

Also in attendance were representatives from the Racing Integrity Board, NZTR and the Regional Track Advisor. All were happy with the track and how it was presented, with good grass cover.

The Club have recently had the track verti-drained and have also upgraded their bore, allowing for an improved, more consistent irrigation application.

The South Canterbury RC meeting will take place at Phar Lap Raceway on Wednesday 25^th September.

The Waipa trials abandoned today will be staged on either the grass at Waipa or the Synthetic at Cambridge next Tuesday. There is circa 50mm of rain predicted over the next 7 days at Waipa and if this comes to pass then the track there would again be unsuitable to trial on.

A decision, based on the weather that has transpired and what is predicted will be made by noon Sunday September 1. While far from ideal this approach is the most open and transparent given the current and predicted rainfall situation. Nominations for the chosen venue will close the day prior at 12 noon.

Taranaki Meeting Coming Forward/Rotorua Update

After looking at forecasts, and discussing with the clubs and RIB, below are updates relating to the Taranaki and Rotorua Meetings on Saturday and Sunday respectively. These have been approved by Entain/TAB NZ.

Taranaki - 17 August

We note that the worst of the weather is currently forecast for mid-afternoon Saturday. To this end the meeting has been brought forward two races with Race 1 now scheduled for 11.20am and Race 8 at 3.15pm. NZTR believe this will give the meeting the best chance to take place uninterrupted.

Rotorua – 18 August

Despite rain predicted on Saturday/Sunday NZTR believes the best decision is to proceed with the meeting as it stands. If, after a track inspection on Sunday morning, this meeting cannot proceed then it will be postponed 24 hours until Monday.

Hawke’s Bay Abandonment

The Hawke’s Bay meeting was abandoned yesterday at around 6.20am.

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.

Thoroughbred Date Changes for 2024/25 Season

Subsequent to the release of dates for the 2024/25 season there have been date changes relating to both the Auckland and Waikato Clubs.

Due to the Yearling Sales finishing a day earlier on Thursday 30 January the WTR meeting at Te Rapa originally scheduled for that day will push back one day to Friday 31 January freeing up trainers and other groups to attend this meeting.

In 2025 WTR at Te Rapa will pick up the 31 May date originally scheduled for ATR at Ellerslie. This, in turn, allows the ATR meeting on Sunday 25 May to move venue from Pukekohe Park to Ellerslie ensuring the number of meetings scheduled for Ellerslie remains at 20.

Significant CD Programming Changes – 25/26 May

While just over two weeks away the centre of the course at Trentham is a Good2 and would require significant rain (50mm+) in order to safely hold a Steeplechase. The forecast for the next 10 days in Upper Hutt is largely for dry weather.

Consequently the four jumps races from Trentham on 25 May will move to Woodville the following day (26^th). This includes the two feature jump races.

In turn four races – Mdn 2100m, Mdn 1300m, Mdn 2YO 1200m and R65 1200m will move from Woodville to Trentham on 25 May (all with relevant stake increases as they’re moving to a Feature Day).

As part of a twilight meeting this race will be staged later in the programme to allow trainers the opportunity to get to Te Rapa from the NZB National Yearling Sales.

Handicapping Change Effective 1 January 2024

Currently the topweight in a non-black type Open Handicap will be allotted 62kg if Rated 92 or greater. From meetings scheduled from 1 January 2024 this threshold will be pushed out to a Rating of 96.

This means that a horse rated 92 will now carry 60kg with a 0.5kg increase for every rating point after that up to 62kg. Horses rated 96-102 will be allotted 62kg. For every rating point above 102 a 0.5kg weight increase applies.

This change has been supported by the Handicapping Group and will be included in a revised Handicapping Policy document in the New Year.

Date Changes in June and July 2023

A change in a number of Winter dates will see the Otaki-Maori RC once again host the Matariki Raceday in 2023.

AWAPUNI RETURNS TO RACING WITH THE LITTLE AVONDALE LOWLAND STAKES ON WEDNESDAY 1 MARCH

Racing is set to resume at RACE Awapuni on Wednesday 1 March featuring the transferred Little Avondale Lowland Stakes, following the successful completion of the Return to Racing Plan that had been enacted last December.

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.

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.

The Racemeeting originally scheduled for Awapuni on Friday 3 March will now be at Waverley as a consequence of other date shifts. The programme will remain as per the 3 March Awapuni schedule with the exception that the 1600m races will now be 1650m.

NZTR appreciates the co-operation from all the Clubs involved in these changes.

Message from Hawkes Bay Racing

Unfortunately as a result of the significant weather situation we are currently trying to navigate, the decision has been made to abandon Sunday’s Wairoa Cup races. 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

Hawke's Bay Abandoned
A decision has been made to abandon Sunday’s race-meeting at Hastings.

While there is little doubt the track would play safely there are bigger issues including road infrastructure/access, power and communication, the displacement of hundreds of people including at least two deaths. The host club for this meeting, Wairoa, is isolated from the rest of the country and there are serious concerns for their health and well-being. Civil Defence have asked that movement is restricted to matters of urgency.

Christmas Venue Update – Central Region

Following the incident at New Plymouth affecting the track the decision was made to look at Hawera as the replacement meeting for the December 24 Raceday. 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.

Changes to CD Programme and Venue - Updated
Awapuni Abandonment and Programming Update

Yesterday the CEO of NZTR and I met with Management and Board Representatives of RACE group to discuss the abandonment yesterday at Awapuni. 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 17^th or Monday 26^th 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 17^th 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.
1. 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.

The two open handicaps that were abandoned at Awapuni today (Friday) will now run at the Waipukurau meeting at Hastings on Sunday as Races 9 (1600m) and 10 (1200m). A number of these horses are looking to progress to other important races on the calendar including black-type races. All races will be brought forward one race with the first race now at 12.06pm and R10 at 5.15pm. While heavy rain is currently falling in Hawke’s Bay the track is expected to come back on Saturday and Sunday with the “best guess” being the track will end up in the Soft7 range.

Te Aroha Update

Recently completed Audits of the Te Aroha track have identified several areas with compaction of the soil. This poor soil structure and function needs to be addressed prior to the resumption of racing therefore it was agreed that the Return to Racing date will be delayed until March 2023,

NZ Thoroughbred Racing, Regional Track Advisor Graeme Styles and Racing Te Aroha Club Representatives have agreed a comprehensive plan including Deep Aeration, Verti-drain, Coring and Fertiliser to alleviate the issues. This plan will be carried out over the next 4 weeks and once complete a revised Return to Racing timeline will be advised working towards a March 10 resumption.

This will require the scheduled January 3 & February 15 dates to be transferred. These will now be run at Matamata & Tauranga respectively.

As advertised the R75 1600m Coastwood Homes Lockwood Thames Cup will be contested on January 3 at Matamata for a stake of $20,000.

Otago Track Update

12 horses galloped this morning on the course proper at Wingatui. 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.

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.

Regards,

Darin Balcombe

Chief Operating Officer

Hawke’s Bay Feature Races to Matamata

The continued wet weather in Hawke's Bay unfortunately resulted in the abandonment of Saturday's Arrowfield Stud Plate (G1) Raceday. 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.

After consulting with the Pattern Committee and considering submissions made by Hawke’s Bay Racing to move the AHD Hawke's Bay Guineas to Sat ...Read More

Just for clarity, and with number restrictions in place, the trials policy will apply with 4YO maidens being eliminated first beginning at the longest distance, then the shorter distance. If required, this will then move to 3YO maidens. A reminder that there are also trials scheduled for Ruakaka 48 hours later.

Nominations close Monday 26th September @ 12pm with NRB.

UPDATED – Egmont to now Remain on 10 July
Due to the unavailability of both the Wanganui and Awapuni Tracks for the remainder of the season NZTR, in consultation with a number of clubs and TAB NZ, have revised the dates and venue schedule in the Central Region through to 31 July 2022. These changes have taken into account track availability, potential wagering impacts and servicing requirements (TAB NZ). NZTR thanks the affected clubs, GRNZ for accommodating a change to their schedule and TAB NZ for their co-operation. There may be minor distance alterations to follow. As an aside it is currently predicted that the Awapuni synthetic track will be available for training use from August. This will mean that the grass track at Awapuni will be once again available for racing in the new season. NZTR will address any dates issues for the new season with clubs and TAB NZ as a separate exercise. The changes for the remainder of this season are as follows:

Friday 1 July                       Taranaki RI at New Plymouth (originally no meeting on this day)

Saturday 9 July                 Hawke’s Bay Racing at Hastings (originally Marton JC at Awapuni)

Sunday 10 July                  Egmont RC at Hawera (This meeting is now staying on Sunday 10 July)

Thursday 14 July               Woodville-Pahiatua RC at Woodville (originally Wanganui JC at Wanganui)

The Ashburton Races scheduled for tomorrow have been postponed until Tuesday 21 December.

The RIB inspected the track at 3.30pm Wednesday along with the track manager and there is currently some water pooling. There has been approximately 30mm of rain today. The forecast through to mid-morning tomorrow is for a further 50mm – 70mm of rain.

The fields will remain the same and all scratchings re-instated.

Whangarei 6 January now Rotorua

Given the Covid event crowd restrictions applicable for Northland, and the likelihood of travel delays, the Whangarei Racing Club has decided that the risk to conduct the January 6th race meeting is too great to proceed with the meeting.

NZTR has agreed with that position and to provide greater certainty and opportunities for the public, owners, and industry participants to attend, the meeting will now be held at Rotorua as a Roturua race meeting. This has been approved by TABNZ.

There will be minor distance changes which are shown on-line.

Mike Beazley, Whangarei Racing Club Chairman, stated that “The Club, like many Northland sports clubs and event businesses has been significantly disadvantaged by the Covid restrictions and the decision to cancel its biggest attended meeting of the year was made with major disappointment for our local owners, sponsors, trainers, members and the many holiday makers who include the day as part of their vacations.”

ATR at Pukekohe Postponed until Monday

The race-meeting scheduled for Pukekohe Park tomorrow has been postponed until Monday 20 December. As at 4pm over 50mm of rain had been received at the track in the previous 24 hours. Up to 25mm of rain may be received in the 12 hours leading into race morning. With this information and the wish not to have a cancellation on race morning for reasons of safety the decision was made to postpone until Monday. There was a real chance of not being able to complete the meeting tomorrow. The track is unavailable for use on Sunday due to a prior booking.

NZTR, ATR Club Officials and the Trainers Assn have collectively come to this decision. Fields remain the same with all scratchings re-instated however there will be a new timetable (tba).

The Ellerslie trials will NOT take place this Thursday. Information relating to the Ellerslie and Cambridge trials pre-Christmas will be released tomorrow (Wednesday).

Manawatu RC Saturday 18 December – Inside bend to be used

Following recent, heavy rainfall in the Palmerston North region, the outside bend at Awapuni is not fit for purpose.

To provide a more consistent surface for the entirety of racing, the decision has been made to use the inside bend for Saturday’s meeting. This decision was made following an inspection of the track on Friday afternoon by Club representatives, the RIB, and Jockey & Trainer Representatives.

Two distance changes will be required. The R74 1600m race will now be 1550m and the OPN 2300m race will now be 2250m.

Waverley Meeting Transferred to Awapuni
Due to a Good2 track on Saturday morning and uncertainty around the amount of rainfall pending, there is potential for the track to be unsafe on raceday.

Therefore, a decision has been made to move tomorrow’s meeting (Sunday) from Waverley to Awapuni. This decision has been made after talking to the RIB, both the trainers’ and jockeys’ associations and the Waverley RC. The race meeting will be conducted on the inside bend and the 1650m races will alter to 1550m.

The fields will remain the same with scratchings re-instated as is practice in these situations.

NZTR appreciates the co-operation of all parties in coming to this decision.

This will be a closed door meeting.

Weekend Race-Meetings Update
Following the announcement today that the Waikato Alert Level 3 area will remain in place until next Monday, NZTR can advise:

The meetings scheduled for Te Aroha, Hawke’s Bay, Rotorua and Ashburton will all proceed.

There are a number of jockeys (5 or 6) who will be unable to ride due to Government travel restrictions. NZTR has identified these jockeys, and is in the process of arranging alternative riders.

NZTR has sourced sufficient barrier staff to enable each meeting to proceed.

The NZ Trainers' Association will be assisting trainers unable to accompany their horses due to Government travel restrictions with support on the above race days. Trainers are also encouraged to leverage their own networks where necessary.

To support trainers affected by Government travel restrictions, NZTR will issue a temporary licence free of charge to suitably qualified horsepeople employed by studs, pretrainers and other equine businesses to work as stablehands on the above racedays. The temporary licence will expire on Monday. Persons wishing to obtain a temporary licence must advise in writing NZTR by 12 pm Friday, together with an endorsement from their employer or trainer who will be utilising their services. Please note that temporary licence requests will not be accepted if they are received after 12 pm Friday.

Wairarapa Track at Tauherenikau
The Tauherenikau track has come up as a Slow9 on nomination morning. Following the abandonment of the Masterton meeting at that venue in March remedial work was done on the track including it being scarified and under-sowed out to 12m. In June the track was sand-banded from the 1100m to the crossing.

Three horses were galloped on the track last week with the course manager and RIB in attendance. Both were more than satisfied with the way the track performed including the area of concern back in March.

COVID UPDATE 7 September

COVID UPDATE 7 September

This morning a meeting was held with racing clubs that are scheduled to race over the next fortnight.

After discussion, NZTR have decided that until Tuesday September 14, the NZTR Alert Level 3 protocols will continue to prevail, with NZTR under its discretion approving the following amendments in procedures:

Temperature testing will only be required for jockeys, club staff and officials that work in the areas adjoining the weigh-room and jockeys rooms;

Clubs may provide a basic food option on course;

A ban on Interisland movements for jockeys, trainers, strappers and officials remains in place until at least early next week, after which a ‘clear COVID test’ requirement will be introduced to enable their initial interisland travel (float drivers will be encompassed too). Otherwise, given the easing of government restrictions on travel in areas excluding Auckland from midnight tonight, participants will be able to travel without constraint within each island (including Northland trainers who may traverse Auckland).

As a consequence please note that:

Race or trial meetings up to and including Tuesday 14 September will be conducted as ‘closed door’ meetings with no owners, sponsors, members or other public entitled to attend.

Rules around mask wearing in all raceday and training areas will be maintained as per current Level 3 requirements. Health declarations continue to be required on entry to race or trial meetings.

Further updates on protocols will be provided early next week.

Cambridge and Taupo now one meeting at Taupo on Wednesday

The Cambridge meeting scheduled for Wednesday 8 September has been abandoned and the Taupo meeting will transfer from the Tuesday to the Wednesday.

The number of nominations across both meetings strongly suggests that one meeting is the optimum result with 19 of the 45 single nominations at Cambridge already nominated for Taupo, which had 80 nominations (including Cambridge nominations) at midday Friday. All races will remain open until Saturday 4 September at 9am. All nominations will be treated as originals. Any single nomination from Cambridge will need to nominate with the bureau if they wish to run at Taupo. Furthermore the R65 2000m race programmed for Cambridge will now be programmed at Taupo to make an 8^th race.

One ‘group trial’ with 10 horses will also be held prior to race 1 at Taupo. This trial has closed.

Cambridge Synthetic races are scheduled again on Wednesday 15 September.

Otaki-Maori RC - Friday 7th May - Cancelled

The Otaki-Maori Racing Club will not be holding their previously scheduled race meeting on Friday 7^th May, as they are about to undertake a ‘time-critical’ track renovation.

NZTR have discussed options with the Central Programming Chairman and NZTA representatives, and the decision has been made to add and alter programmes, rather than shift the whole race meeting to a different venue.

The following alterations have been made to provide options:

A MDN 3YO 1400m race will be added to the Hawke’s Bay RC programme on Saturday 1^st May.

A R74 1400m race will be added to the Woodville meeting on Sunday 9^th May

The 2&3YO MDN 1200 at Woodville on Sunday 9^th May will now be a MDN 2YO&UP 1200

In addition to the above changes, NZTR will look to divide races where required.

Counties Meeting now at Whangarei – 19 September

The Counties meeting scheduled for Saturday 19 September will now be conducted by the Whangarei RC at Whangarei.

The track at Pukekohe Park was inspected by NZTR, RIU and Club representatives on Monday morning following the recent verti-draining. While there has been significant improvement in the area that was very wet last month, there could be concerns if there was further significant rain between now and raceday. Therefore, to give Owners and Trainers some surety an early decision has been made to transfer this meeting.

The programme remains as follows - Open 1200m and 2200m, Benchmark R74 1400m and 1600m, Benchmark R65 1200m and 2100m and a Mdn 1400m.

North Island meetings racing from 15 July will revert to programming maidens, R65s and 2YO races where appropriate. Horses that wish to enter for races above these grades will still be able to enter an Open Entry race to continue to maximise opportunities. Attached are the updated programmes for July. NZTR is continuing to work with RITA, and their broadcasting requirements, around the possible addition of a race-date(s) in the back half of July 2020 if such a meeting(s) is warranted.

A programme of racing for August and September will be released later next week after the finalisation of race-dates and funding.

Two Extra North Island Meetings – Wanganui and Ellerslie

Two extra race-meetings have been scheduled for the ‘Return to Racing’ period.

A race-meeting has been scheduled for Wanganui for Thursday 25 June. Strong numbers of horses at jumpouts/trials including 106 participants at the Waverley Point to Point on 11 June suggest there is plenty of interest. Notwithstanding the indication of strong numbers, this meeting will not proceed unless there are sufficient numbers for eight good-sized fields. Highweight races will be scheduled over distances of 1600m and 2060m as well as races over 800m, 1200m and 1360m. These races will be Open Entry races and will be run for a stake of $15,000.

In the Northern region the Auckland RC will now race at Ellerslie on Saturday 11 July with the currently scheduled Counties meeting moving back four days to Wednesday 15 July. The additional meeting will also have stakes of $15,000 per race and be Open Entry with the distances of 880m, 1200m, 1400m 1600m and 2200m being applicable at Ellerslie. The highweight races that were scheduled for Counties will now be run at the Ellerslie meeting.

Where the highweight races at both meetings are programmed and potentially split, NZTR in conjunction with the club will decide what races to allocate as the highweight. This will be done after nominations close.

Racing Policy Update – June/July
After consultation with club managers and the trainers’ association the restriction around the number of trials a horse can have has been removed effective immediately. This restriction was initially brought in to encourage horses to race as part of the ‘return to racing’. Indications are that numbers are strong. Preference will be given to horses having their first trial in a preparation if the trial meeting is over-subscribed. Also discussed with these groups, together with the jockeys’ association, was the introduction of the extra 1kg in terms of the weight scale. It was unanimously agreed that this will remain in place until 31 July 2020.

Pattern Changes for Early 20/21 Season

With confirmation of the two Guineas races now being run at Riccarton Park it is necessary to make adjustments to some black-type events that sit around these races. In consultation with members of the Pattern Committee, together with affected clubs, the changes are as follows:

The Soliloquy Stakes to run at Te Rapa on 24 October (same day as the James and Annie Sarten Memorial)

The Gold Trail Stakes to come forward four weeks to 19 September

The Canterbury Stakes to move from 14 November to 24 October

The Tauranga Meeting to return to its date of 14 November and host the Tauranga Stakes (this is a date change which will need to be ratified by RITA)

While there are other considerations to be made around black-type races as part of the dates process, it was deemed timely to confirm these particular changes for purposes of planning a programme for 3YO horses.

Saturday Races Shifted from Kumara to Greymouth

After overnight rain and further inspection of the Kumara track it has been decided, despite some improvement at Kumara, that there is not full confidence in providing a safe racing surface at that venue. The meeting will therefore transfer to Omoto and be conducted by the Greymouth JC. The 1810m races will transfer to 2000m while the 1150m races will now be run at 1100m. A Mdn 1500m race ($10k) has been added to the programme.

Those horses already nominated for the Kumara meeting will automatically be transferred into the corresponding race at the Greymouth JC meeting.
