    • while i' while i'm at it ,i may as well point out another example of "do not believe what you read in hrnz press releases" this  week they not only have the nelson/addington race failing to get any support,it was only a few weeks ago they were promoting the $100,000 young guns races at auckland and saying how all the reports they had received indicated there would be good numbers lining up in upcoming 2 year old races in january ,because  of the stake money they were prioritisning for the 2 year olds. so what happened with the 2 year old races they referred to. young guns heat for  2yo colts and geldings at auckland-7 starters. young guns heat for 2yo fillies_cancelled due to lack of numbers addington 2 year old race-cancelled due to lack of numbers. so why would hrnz put out  all the people they had been talking to had told them they had good numbers for those races. well,i think we can safely assume,that hrnz people,do what i always say they obviously do,they speak to a couple of stables,the ones with the money,and then they hrnz base everything they say and do around that. as i say,its like shooting fish in a barrel. Hrnz are just so out of touch with what works. I would say 80% of what they promote as being good ideas,are not. Have there ever been more out of touch wagering/marketing/programming people in the history of hrnz. i've no personal axe to grind against whoever they are.I just struggle with understanding how dumb they come across.
    • that should read 6 starters for that race.  
    • It seems strange to me that the Auckland Cup for Harness is December 31st. The greyhound cup is at the end of January and the Galloping cup is in March.    I am assuming they were all at a similar time of year at some point? What was the logic in splitting them up?    I realise after this year the Greyhound Cup will be gone but it just seems odd as I’m sure they use to have a cup week of sorts a few year back. 
    • so hrnz came up with yet another bright idea that in reality was just dumb.. Hrnz thought they would get  extra numbers racing at nelson to qualify for a $35,000 race  at addington. A race in which the extras they were hoping for,would have to race against much higher graded horses. Only hrnz could possibly think that would work.. so they end up with  just starters in the $35,000 final on friday at addington. pointing out how out of touch wuith reality hrnz and their clever people are is like shooting fish in a barrel.
    • A strong performance against Ka Ying Rising in Sunday’s Group One Centenary Sprint Cup (1,200m) is all Dennis Yip Chor-hong needs to see from Fast Network to confirm a trip to Dubai for the Group One Al Quoz Sprint (1,200m). Third behind Ka Ying Rising in last month’s Group One Hong Kong Sprint (1,200m), Fast Network is on track for his first overseas mission after another clash with the world’s best sprinter at Sha Tin. The five-year-old warmed up for the Centenary Sprint Cup with a...View the full article
