> Diggers have moved onto the site of Auckland’s Alexandra Park raceway where champion racehorse Cardigan Bay is buried – in what some trotting supporters have called a “desecration”.  
>  
> The grave site and surrounding land [is being turned into a car park.](https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/300855402/dispute-over-exhumation-of-superstar-horse-cardigan-bay-heading-to-court?ref=goodoil.news)  
>  
> The headstone, plinth and rose garden that had marked the burial place of New Zealand’s greatest harness racehorse have now been removed.  
>  
> The NZ Trotting Hall of Fame had wanted Cardigan Bay’s remains exhumed and moved to a new site, but the Auckland Trotting Club (ATC) refused, saying the estate of the former owners did not want the remains exhumed under any circumstances.  
>  
> ATC president Jamie MacKinnon? said the hall of fame building next to the grave site had also been removed and the land was being prepared for “the next stage of its life”, which would be a car park in the interim, and eventually a hotel.
