No easy solutions Gamma..... Slot races in NZ Harness not seen as enticing new people into the sport. Actually looks like the Owners/breeders of the favoured horses have felt obliged to take a SLOT to just get the race over the line. And breeding and owning horses in NZ not such an easy money maker or easy to do fullstop...Farmers with a bit of land and cash to spare are getting less and less , overseas travel more fun with the cash ! Its an expensive and risky hobby , small breeders unlikely to make a profit . And when you get a horse with talent you soon get an offer which , tho not life changing , stops the nagging expenses ! And we don't have patience or time ...many of the bigger owners getting older and cutting back after much success in recent years. Sales prices at big sales for the race -series are inflated greatly. And the 2 to 3 years to wait for your horse to grow and perform is no longer acceptable. A next-gen Horse with mainly young owners recently won its 3rd or 4th lower class race and there were ZERO of ownership on course ! In summary ,Harness has little going for it ....yes Canterbury people ,well 300 of them will drive to a meeting on a Sunday and attend twice over Christmas holidays and NZ Cup day. But forget the rest. And a shocking lack of Marketing and promotion doesn't help the week in - week out grind of repeat business ! -
The kiwi Jmac Punt team have arrived at Flemington and are going banana's on his mounts today TABman. your FULL HAO was extremely well supported in the first , and ended up a brave 2nd. But you should of stuck with the ship , because they got the JMac lollies back in the 2nd with his grey backed off the map , and bursting through the centre like a runaway Reece Walsh in NRL. GETAFIX taking all the bumps for Jmac and going on with it .😆💰 Jmac is not in the 3rd race shortly, BUT watch for him in race 4 . You can make an absolute FORTUNE if you play your bets right 😉💰💰 -

Geez you full of it...we went thru the Polluted air / bad quality FACTS a while back and most of the worst areas in NZ are in the South Island ,some probably close to your cave. And since then you have had snow , extremely high winds and hundreds of houses with out power and water for prolonged and dangerous periods. Some racecourse facilities just blown over and even blown away ! And the plea from your local politicians , another area of Chernobyl proportions close to your cave...please send us money. I sent a little ,but with one condition , NONE to be given to cave creatures please ! As for betting numbers , of course they down where horse numbers per race at record lows ! Northern punters with Brodie 'power' won't unload on 5 and 6 horse fields especially for the place ! And I've told you before the top 2% of NZ punters bet over 60 % of the turnover. Join the dots . And maybe look out for your struggling neighbours, go meet em, and quit the inane repeat obsession with race nomination numbers ! Pleeeze !
