Initially they were held CATERING AND FACILITIES annually during Easter. The inaugural meeting took place on an eighty five acre reserve down on the Ashley River which provided an unbroken mile long track below an old river terrace which formed a natural grandstand from which to view the entertainment. Balmerino Lunch Buffet Only a year later, the 1876 meeting saw many improvements to the course: the Ground Floor- Club Grandstand straight had been fenced with saddling accommodation provided, and the road Located adjacent to the Nightmarch to the course was clearly marked so that racegoers would not get lost (evidently room.

Following the success of that second raceday, a meeting took place at the Club Balmerino also offers a bar, tote facilities and a great view of the Hotel, Rangiora, where those present agreed to form the North Canterbury birdcage and track. Racing Club. The 1877 raceday attracted some 4,000 enthusiasts, but there was already concern about the location of the racecourse (today the site of the Rangiora Golf Club). Despite this dialogue, further successful meetings were held on the original site. Clearly the committee of the North Canterbury Racing Club had lofty ambitions, with a move to two race meetings in 1880, and the Nightmarch Room decision, in 1882, to build a grandstand. Ground Floor - Club Grandstand In 1884 the Rangiora Racing Club became the North Canterbury Jockey Club. At its first formal meeting the members of the fledgling Club decided to hold an Located adjacent the Balmerino autumn raceday in addition to its Easter meeting, which duly took place on 23rd room.

The 1890’s saw New Zealand facing recession, and the racing club in these years was faced with the need to reduce expenditure. In 1895 came the first move to restrict the number of race days, with the result Phar Lap Room that there were 44 fewer totalisator permits issued for the 1895-6 racing season. Level 1 - Club Grandstand Rangiora was allocated one race day, and on the strength of that it was decided to build a weighing room and steward’s stand in 1902.

The North Canterbury Jockey Club had had a reprieve. Yet the deepening gloom of war resulted in more compromise for the racing club. In 1915 an amalgamation occurred between Oxford Racing Club and North Canterbury Jockey Club, which raced as North Canterbury and Oxford Jockey Club from 1915 at Rangiora. It was in these years, too, that the club moved its race day to Labour Day. The 1920’s saw a steady increase in totalisator turnover, with £14,080 10s in 1922, increasing to £19,105 in 1924.

The outbreak of the Second World War meant sacrifice by all New Zealanders. Racing clubs, with their spacious grounds and attendant facilities, were ideal to requisition for the requirements of the armed forces, and the use of the Rangiora racetrack as an army camp meant that the club was forced to race elsewhere for four years: they were not to have a meeting at Rangiora until October 1944. 4 5 WELCOME TO RICCARTON PARK For over 165 years the Canterbury Jockey Club has been at the forefront of New Zealand racing, conducting some of the most prestigious races in the country.

Endearing himself to the task on Saturday, Sacred Falls demonstrated a gritty Gr.1 will to win. The handsome 3YO settled in the last three before improving wide to have the leaders within sights on straightening. Finding plenty when called upon, the colt dug deep to fend off the game filly Oasis Rose by a head margin at the line, with last season’s champion juvenile Warhorse finishing a neck away in third. “He’s always had the temperament and ability to be a top liner,” said Cambridge co-trainer Tony Pike after the race. “He just finds a way to win races.” “Leith (Innes) rode him like he was the best horse and got him out and going early. He had a real fight on his hands but he’s a very good horse.” Sacred Falls - who will now be spelled for 6 weeks or so, represents the 13th Gr.1 winner for his sire O'Reilly and is the 27th Gr.1 champion bred by Waikato Stud.

  • Grant Morrison” and Grantmorrison™
    K Scott 1 No Guru, No Method, No Teacher: “Grant Morrison” and GrantMorrison™ 1. Introduction My title comes from Van, not Grant, Morrison; not just because of a fondness for the music of my compatriot, but because it sums up both the worldview of my main subject and my own complex and contradictory responses to his work. As a writer, Morrison attracts admiration and odium in roughly equal measure, a sign generally of his attempts to innovate within the medium of comics, and more specifically of the key element of his work I wish to examine here, the extent to which he foregrounds his own presence within his texts. His work displays a continual questioning of established value systems – religious, political and artistic – and a simultaneous elevation of personae who are clearly meant to be read as avatars of Morrison himself, placed in and acting through his comics. As Jacques Bens wrote in his analysis of Boris Vian’s L’Ecume des jours: Tout écrivain refait le monde, soit parce qu’il est impuissant à restituer parfaitement une réalité don’t la structure complexe échappe à la parole, soit parce qu’il a envie de libérer ses demons familers [my italics] (177). [All authors remake the world, either because it is impossible to perfectly reconstruct a reality of which the structure is too complex to capture in language, or because they wish to loose their personal demons] The “personal demons” (and the occult reference is entirely fitting for a writer who makes much play of the idea of magic as a belief system) Morrison liberates are overwhelmingly linked to the relationship between himself and his writing.
