      Vic Breeders Heats. How do you beat them.

      By Gammalite · Posted

      The semi's are completed in the VicBred series. last Saturday at Melton the 12 semi's were run and Won for the 2 , 3 and 4 year olds   with Fillies and colts divisions . you had to run in the 'First SIX' in the 12 horse fields to qualify for the BIG Finals. Emma Stewart Barn qualified 34 of their 39 Semi-Finalists . A staggering achievement really😳. They won 9 of the 12 Semi's run . beaten a head and a neck in 2 other semi's. The last race of the evening they didn't have one in 😅.  (the mare that would of been in that one ran in the Eureka in Sydney instead.)      finishing with 6 quinella's and 3 trifecta's.🏆 will they (Stewart barn) win All SIX of the Rich Grand Finals ??   some of the best training feats ever seen on the planet. a lot of the rivals are No Slugs . this is Group Level racing . just amazing.

      Maybe peter profit has jumped the gun,but he seems to think hes got the inside word. Clearly it would be a very major setback for the ATC if there is a delay. hopefully its just a delay,but that would still be very bad. Why would hrnz be gambling on the outcome of a real estate deal. If things did happen to go wrong,theres the likelihood the whole of nz harness would suffer if they continue with that gamble. The ATC have no choice ,but hrnz? The atc may well have got a $10 million deposit but haven't they said land values in auckland went down in 2023. A real estate website says in the last 12 months houses sold in pukekohe are down 4%,although another one says overall,down but not quite as much.So 2024 no better.The originally agreement was in 2022 wasn't it,when the prices were most likely higher. Its all speculation,but if there was a need for a new buyer then even if you go best case scenario,the value the land would have to go up each month before they sold it ,by at least half a million just to retain the status quo,as thats whats being added to the size of the loan they have with the bank each month. And wouldn't that be compounding so that makes it even worse. and how likely would they be to get a quick sale. Those things take time. So even if they agreed to a delay with the current buyer then their $80 million keeps getting higher. Lets hope they get paid in november. Because they have chosen to keep alexandra park then they have limited their options or at least delayed other scenarios which must prove costly givennothing happens overnight and the banks are owed so much.

      That's interesting. I looked up the club website and it said $30 under general admission. Same for all three days.  It probably makes it even worse then if it was free entry and still no one went. I am presuming it was a very small crowd, it looked very small on TV.

      There was no entrance fee on Saturday at Hastings. You had the option of making a donation for Daffodil Day.
