the latest bit in the news segment on the hrnz has a story headlined "2 year old bonus (the $12,000 ones)delivered on increasing opportunities" you've have to give m peden credit for that headline. yes the bonuses failed to get breeders to breed more horsesor or get any more horses starting,continually had small field sizes,but hey...guess what...they did deliver on increasing opportunities for people to race their 2 year olds for a bonus. i'm not sure i would want to buy a used car off him,but points for finding a positive to spin that anyway. then it says,having achieved its objectives(lets not let the truth get in the way with that bit),the scheme is coming to a close this year. what does that mean. does it mean the 2 years the bonuses that existed to encourage people to breed their mares,will never reward anyone who bred on the understanding they would have an opportunity to race for the $12,000 bonus. In other words it rewarded those who had bred before the bonuses were introduced, who would not have been aware of the bonus when they bred,but didn't reward those who bred thinking they may get one. It sounds a bit like all those rather naive breeders who bred to a nz based sire, thinking they would get to race for bonuses,only to see them cancelled before they had a chance as well. oh well,at least todays story indicates hrnz have made a decision that made sense,even if they took a long time to work it out . -

And! I have gone and broken that golden rule of 'never actually joining any group that would have me!!!',.. ps. sigh, having previously lived in HK, Lon, NY, amongst other places! I recon sometimes! smaller can have its simple joys! As ever in the modern digital world! maturity is needed! especially so if a health polemic is in play! KennyRog knew! "know when to hold them, know when to fold them! know when to walk away..." -
Agree with some of what youre saying . But the real problem in racing has always been around 'self interest' , the right decisions have never been able to be made due to self interest. Successive administrations have therefore been agenda driven instead of strategically driven , despite all the flashy documents and media they put out its all been fairytale stuff that must align with an agenda instead of an actual strategy for the growth in racings case survival of the sport. That unfortunately will never change and the sport will suffer the ultimate consequences for that. -

after that 05/10 date, the arrival of Facebook spurred various Racing related groups etc.. 2/3 still have solid daily action. The CWJ fanpage, it had solid daily usage, thankfully it took very little technical time and 99% were polite! lol, is that connected to @TAB For Ever Tight five!!!
