I see the beached cannine @Comic Dog the self judged more learned and knowledgeable online commentators have needed to go talk to a horse valuer to challenge my assessment that Damask Rose is probably worth around $1.5m+ (NZD!) as a broodmare at this stage of her career. Valuing any bloodstock is a subjective exercise and only an auction gives the true market value. But having followed the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale for a number of years I would say my analysis was close to the mark. You only have to look through the sales results to see broodmares sold around the AUD$1.3m mark that have done far less on the racecourse to say that contrary to one persons view if Damask Rose sold for AUD$500k you would be quite disappointed. Some people should really graduate from reading comics and watching cartoons! https://catalogue.magicmillions.com.au/sale/25GWM -

There is a saying "If aint't broke don't fix it" So who's decision was it to start Jacobite Rising at 2000+m after winning 1600m at its third start? -

Isn't that how any form analysis or ratings are calculated? Isn't racing all about winning and who you beat? Then compared to who they are up against next? I'm sure the irony of what you are saying doesn't escape you when the whole basis of your critique is who DR has raced against and been beaten by! -

I think we need to separate excitement from reality here. Celebrating the headline nights while ignoring grassroots pressure, shrinking depth in some regions, and long term participation challenges is short sighted. The conversation shouldn’t be “isn’t this amazing?” It should be “is this sustainable?” Enjoy the good racing, absolutely. But let’s not pretend everything is bulletproof just because the top end looks shiny. When an industry becomes heavily reliant on one commercial partner, that’s not dominance, that’s dependency. If priorities shift, what then? -
Absolutely Brodster. You are on the money having respect for Entain for a change. And yes Changes happen , and the function changes bit by bit as improvements made all the time. HRNZ and harness racing participants can rejoice that Entain stepped in (when they didn't have to as is a poor betting product ) but wanted to help out . As their Subsidary LADBROKES has in queesland saving the day for us too . and allowing us to produce great horses like Leap To Fame and GUS that have been crushing it in NZ lately. As The Galah has told you ENTAIN/Ladbrokes make their most money from SPORTS Betting. and a bit on thoroughbreds , esp places like the crazy rich Asians on the Hong Kong races and things like that. Chief has told you how many Billions ENTAIN have. they even have 100,000,000 set aside Chief has told me, to Pay their Money laundering fine if it comes to that out of the courts. Water off a ducks back. Their Contributuion is being lapped up by the NZ harness racing world (and QLD too via Ladbrokes) to have some of the best racing ever seen , by some of the fastest horses ever to wear a bridle, by the BEST Trainers on the Planet. North Island NOT STUFFED yet old sport. hang tuff mate. Barry still winning races after all these decades and been one of the best in the world , along with brother Mark and brother-in -law Tony. Clearly the best around lol 👍🏆😉 Rejoice and be grateful we can still see the marvelous horsemen go round , and try and match the Aussies . How good is NZ harness going? Fabulous . Cambridge on soon .. TAB trot and The race by BETCHA . how good ?? wait to you see the next Queenslander Brodster. Named THE JANITOR. he is gunna Blow your socks off old boy. 💪💰🏆😁 NZ harness never been better. The last 2 Cup weeks have been staggeringly good at Addington . with the Velocity and The Ascent. You got to see Leap To Fame and Keayang Zahara. 2 of the best ever. How Privaliged are we lately ?? just amazing what HRNZ are doing . What amazing people to put this entertainment on.
