Gamma, firstly Entain is no White Knight for racing in NZ!
Quite the opposite in fact!
They are in it solely to reap 50% of-the profits from the NZ TAB for 25 years, nothing at sll to do with assisting harness racing!!
A big mistake was made by the TAB and McAnulty you will get to see!
What we dont support is the mismanagement of the finances of harness racing, it is a shocking indictment on HRNZ that they are putting the harness industry into jeopardy!
You can go on about the current racing as being great and stakes are good but only due to Entains cash splash which is going go finish and then big time problems bigger than currently!
Finally, can you suggest to Boots and Seymour to contribute say $100million each year to harness NZ to keep the stakes where they currently are?
Auckland and Csmbridge are in deep shite and thats with the Entain $ imagine what will happen in 2 years?
HRNZ are treating the public with contempt
Another name id forgotten, Jack certainly was an icon on the coast, remember the days huddled around the ole valve radio which were the best at picking up the required station, the frustration of the signal fading in an out, Jack called my uncles galloper to win at Nelson, her only win, very frustrating horse, track work an trials nothing would get close to her, remember her bolting in at a trial in hoki one day, a spectator quipped she'd be a cert next start, we warned him,, couple weeks later at hoki races she finished last, race day just wasn't her thing, unfortunately.
