    Barry, Curious and Mardigras all eat from the same plate though, especially when there are whitebait fritters and burnt lemon on it

    Yep, why can't they just come clean and say pretty much what has been unearthed (excuse the pun) so far. I'm sure that would keep most industry people happy Excavation went over budget Decided to seed to try and pull back some of those costs Seeding done in accordance with Strathayr standard protocol Seeding had hiccups that were exacerbated by the racing return deadline Strathayr have full confidence with more time the track will be fine

    Thought it might, understandable. Another point, it is not actually industry money, Ellerslie paid for it from the sale of the hill (I think). And even if the turf layer has to be redone, Ellerslie will pay for that and it will only be a part of the 55 mil, as much of that covered the excavation and drainage. car parks, water storage pond, all of which are fine.

    If you feel comfortable about posting Barry, I would love to know exactly what they did. You have already explained about being over budget on the excavations and therefore the need to save costs on the turf by seeding. I'm aware that Strathayr grow the turf off site in Aus, then do a relocation, a bigger version of Ready Lawn here in NZ. So I presume all the guidelines for growing turf by seeding came from Strathayr
  8. Good, I can go and have a drink Well done Maxis, just a bit too good for us today I can only presume the Reapers have been stepping on too many graves and have become hexed, never mind lol Thanks to Ian, SS, Tassie and Tonka, we aged badly unlike good wine but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Thanks for another great comp PJ, hope you are recovering. It is a mission just half pie doing one match!! A disappointing end to the comp with all the abandonments See you all at the Lucky 7 .

    Well there is one meeting left at Ellerslie on May 25, you can be pretty assured that won't happen. What is coming out of this after some other comments, is that they raced on it too soon, as pressure probably came from NZ Bloodstock, maybe also Te Akau to run on Jan 27, probably against the advice of Strathayr and the track manager. This will never be acknowledged so it will all continue to be fudged. Very political now
  13. 6 BB's lost on the Easter in the Reapers/Maxis match, 3 each so I suppose that is fair

    Yep, early days, but happy to be proven wrong. A very good test for the track so far, I'm sure a few relieved people at Ellerslie
  22. COMP CLOSED Any further adjustments at PJ's discretion and opposing captains blessing
  23. She is a woman and therefore has the benefit of being able to multitask lol
