PHOTO: STEPHEN JAQUIERYThe last race meeting at Forbury Park will be well signposted but there is no guarantee all the remaining race dates will actually take place at the venue. Forbury Park Trotting Club chairman Craig Paddon said a board meeting next week would make a decision on the fate of the remaining meetings. The race meeting set for next Wednesday — starting mid-afternoon — would definitely go ahead but he could not confirm the other meetings would proceed. But it would also have to work in with the Otago Racing Club which has its own dates to sort. A greenfield site for a racing track had been the ideal scenario for the club and Paddon had earlier said a site had been identified.
