Horse racing: Avondale supporters hoping today’s last meeting not so final

Ah shame, love a day at the Avondale races. Hope it’s not the end.

Another one bites the dust. Council probably wants to build more shoebox apartments.

Hana Stewart2026-07-14T18:14:00.000Z

That's the dream for the developers mate. $$$.

Taylor Wright2026-07-14T18:26:00.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed. Just pave it and make a carpark.

Hana Stewart2026-07-14T18:40:00.000Z

Worked at the track for years. The writing's been on the wall since they sold part of the land for housing. Shame.

Alex Rivera2026-07-14T18:59:00.000Z

Will miss the atmosphere. Had some good Pakenham wins there. What a load of shit.

Jamie Fox2026-07-14T19:09:00.000Z

Typical. Kill off everything fun and turn it into another subdivision.

Taylor Wright2026-07-14T19:25:00.000Z

nah it's a joke. Keep the horses, ditch the housing.

Mason Young2026-07-14T19:31:00.000Z

Honestly who even goes to the races anymore? Old mate trying to hold onto the past.

Jamie Fox2026-07-14T19:52:00.000Z

it's tradition you muppet. Not everything needs to be a mall.

Alex Rivera2026-07-14T19:56:00.000Z

lol get a clue. Some of us actually enjoy it.

Taylor Wright2026-07-14T19:49:00.000Z

ffs just let the horses run. Better than another countdown.

Hana Stewart2026-07-14T20:03:00.000Z

If they stop the trials too, where do trainers go? South Auckland's already stuffed for facilities.
