You can see galah I'm not quite keeping up with things always, whether those southerners turn up for kindergarten day or not, bound to be a few cantabrians that will blow them away, if these are as green as you say might be more a nuisance than anything, as I've said before Baynes and Milne used to have good ones ready to go,that's decades ago no, just not sure now if the stake Wyndham paid might be better shared around a bit.
Just my thoughts.
So this group of people don't have confidence in NZ thoroughbred racing.
It's a diverse chunk of the industry. One fix is not going to fit everybody. CD Racing, well that's easily assessed, how could anyone in CD make a living from recent seasons in the worst region in the country for "non-racing"?
The first three categories will always remain in the industry in some shape or form but, the young people having no confidence is a worry. Many of these have been enticed in through various promotions, the trick is now how to retain them.
