    • Gamma, totally on the back of the cash splash from Entain!! That money is going go stop and then  what? They have totally mismanaged things but that is going to come out soon unfortunately. Burying their heads in the sand will not work, reality will set in soon unless they can come out and explain how they are going to afford to maintain stakes  in the future? i hope things do continue but delusion if you believe that Entain is interested in NZ harness racing!  
    • Still undefeated in two starts, FRENCH FICTION (f, 3, City of Light–Private Ensign, by A.P. Indy) showed her six-length maiden score was no fluke as she wired the field in Saturday's Dixie Belle Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Racing in the midst of a downpour on a sloppy track, jockey Cristian Torres kept his filly's face clean, letting her sit up front all the way even after she was initially outrun at the break. Only longshot Evolution (Brethren) kept pace with her early into the far turn but was ultimately no match as French Friction hit the stretch alone and easily kicked clear of the mud-covered closers for another open-lengths victory. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. O-DJ Stable; B-Siena Farms LLC; T-Mark Casse. Sales History: $250,000 ylg' 24 KEESEP.

    • You 2 old boys have really drawn the Curtains and Pulled down the Blinds on your view of NZ harness racing. And trying to Board up the windows as well lol.  No wonder no-one talks to you anymore here. Do you seriously expect the CEO or HRNZ or anyone to be disappointed in and back your Shocking judgements of every aspect of the sport ? They Can't Do That. It's their job to put a Racing product on for the participants.  Calling everyone 'Fools' 10 times solves nothing Mr Galah. Let's have a look at why they say The Sport is never Been better.  Get some Optimism going maties . Pull that Blind up and remove your deafeners !! (I think they're glued in with you 2 though ) 😂😋😉 1/  Fabulous racing all year round. Amazing concepts like the November Slot races, The Cambridge Million Betcha and TAB trot attracting the best horses in the world nearly the past 2 years. HRNZ ONLY have to put in a Small portion of the prizes pool so the BIG-time racing is on the cusp of being 'Self Sufficient ' excellent stuff !!  2/ The NZ CUP racing for a great purse with the Aussie involvement through the ceiling now . because the racing is doing so well in NZ . The last 2 Dominion trots have been fantastic. ( I guess that makes up for NZ not running the Interdominion anymore )   3/ The yearlings Prices are amazing . Stonewall bought 2 yearlings a year ago for NZ record Prices . $360,000 each I think it was. The breeders will be smiling at this like real estate agents lol.  4/ The Golden Gait concept at Auckland is amazing with people like Unhinged Nigel for example winning them with his syndicates and getting good reward for their Input to the industry and participation . Like wise the recent Ashburton 5000 concept saw normal rated horses winning $60,000 races for normal grass roots participants. How good was that. The millionaires have enough races put on for them like the harness millions etc. 5/ BIG time Aussie owners like Boots and Shannon have taken over where Mark Purdon's left off , and are supporting the trainers with a stack of purchases at your yearling sales,  6/ GUS and Muscle Mountain are trotting at an amazing level, showing NZ bred trotters are near best on the planet. There are ways to expand on that by running More Trotting races. Wait on . Auckland already do !! for Bernie Hackett, Dr Chin, Balle, McGowan and other fantastic trotter trainers in the North . Well done ATC. 7/ The horses are going blistering times . Because the Trainers are the best around. Dunn's , Telfers, Cullins  ,Dalgety and the Masters themselves the 3 brothers/in law = BarryP and MarkP and Tony H STILL training and WINNING after all these 5 decades. The best in the World still Representing your Amazing Sport .   So HOW Lucky are you guys to Have them ? 8/ New Zealand Very Abily represented last night at Melton Victoria on our Biggest night of the year at the Hunter Cup. NOOO . Not by Mick Guiren (who droned on like a man in a asylum lol 😂😋 that no-one could understand) But by Republican Party, Captain's Mistress and Chase A Dream storming into the money showing GOOD the kiwis really are . (and people could bet on them too 👍) how  is there anything to complain about .  and you Expect the CEO to say things are going Bad. 😂🤣😁  Adapt and pull up your blinds and open the curtains , and enjoy the sunshine boys. try and enjoy the sport. better than tiddly winks the Chief was trying to sell someone lol 😂 Amazing Horses, Amazing Horse people, Amazing races. Heaps more coming up soon too.  have a good Sunday. ( get the Mrs to open the curtains or something lol ) 😁😉
