rest assured brodie,the look north strategy is moving in the right direction. matt peden said so just 4 weeks ago.
And the metro series,a key part of that look north strategy,well hrnz think thats working as well.
just look at the 4 heats for that metro series last week,they had big numbers with an average field size of 7.
that comes on top of their bright idea to get more mares to race at nelson by having a $35,000 final at addington.That got a 6 horse field for that $35,000 race.
then theres what hrnz had been saying was good numbers of 2 year olds ready to race.Last week they scrapped 2 of the 3 races for them due to next to no nominations.
have they mentioned how high the ATC debt has got in the last few months. Nah,whats a few million extra ATC debt.
you know the thing about the turnover figures.
the way they spin northern harness racing is..They pick out the racenights that they can point to turnover being up from the previous nyear. But ignore the fact that those meetings often still run at significnat losses, because even with wagering turnover up,they still don't generate anywhere near enough to cover stakes.Hrnz interpretation of that is spin to the effect,the look north strategy is working.You have to laugh.

That's not spin!!!! The clearance rate at time of print was the same. If they had said "the clearance rate is the same as the last 4 years but we predict by the end of tomorrow that it will be well up on the last 5 years" - then that's spin!!!!!!!
