Geraldine Cup up for grabs at trotting meet<br />
Geraldine Trotting Clubcommittee member<br />
David Hay encourages the community<br />
to support therace meeting on Saturday,<br />
26 <strong>November</strong>, at Ōrari. He says, Geraldine<br />
is one of the top grass courses and is<br />
highly regarded. Nevertheless, the<br />
New Zealand Racing Board is threatening<br />
it with closure.<br />
David says the committee operates<br />
independently of government, so little<br />
can be gained in petitioning political<br />
figures. He says that rationalising the<br />
countrys courses is inevitable but believes<br />
thereisagoodcase for retaining Geraldine.<br />
In the meantime, he hopes that agood<br />
crowd will turn out to support this meeting,<br />
the most important ofthe two annual<br />
meetings held at Geraldine. He says that<br />
traditionally they have enjoyed good<br />
community support with an attendance<br />
of between 2,000-3,000 people. In past<br />
yearsasmall entrance fee has beencharged.<br />
To encourage families, entry is now free.<br />
Prize money of $150,000 is at stake,<br />
including the $25,000 Geraldine Cup.<br />
Punters will enjoy anine-raceprogramme.<br />
