Some residents of a Golden Bay settlement say they are shocked to hear of the planned return of a motocross event this weekend. “It’s really noisy and horrible,” said resident Paddy Brennan, adding that she believed such events on the Harwood property off Packard Rd had been silenced permanently several years ago. “This just drags it all up again.” Brennan was referring to a March 2012 letter from then Tasman District mayor Richard Kempthorne that says in part that “motocross events are . effectively prevented from being held at that site”. That letter from Kempthorne came after the council obtained a legal opinion, which followed an Ombudsman’s finding on the long-running matter.

Trained in Ireland by Noel Meade, the four-year-old Jeff Kidder held off 21 rivals to cross the line in front in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle with Sean Flanagan in the saddle, leaving many punters scratching their heads.
