Hi team

Noms are out for Amberley on Friday and we are light on noms right across the board, but desperately light in our cup .Noms have been held open until 9am Tuesday morning. We have Addington and Hororata either side of our day which hasn't helped and the rating band for the cup especially is not ideal and I can understand trainers going for the other 2 options where the band is not as restrictive ,but if you do have a horse that's eligible please nominate, it's a great chance to race for a $25,000 stake in what's more than likely going to be a small field, if it gets off the ground . Obviously I'm desperate to hold the cup for the clubs sake and hoping that we can do so . If not ,we'll still have a great race day and looking forward to hosting all of the owners and trainer's involved on Friday.

Cheers everyone

Ross Rennie
