Fantastic! They all got pissed,danced to something hip & had a great time , that's great for the game . You dont watch enough gangster films if you dont know what a fugazi is. -
I think in the main pacers races at Alexandra Park a rating 90 is racing some who are in the 50s, they call noms and then make the fields but is that competitive like for like racing, can't blame connections putting horses up for racing but a 35 points variance, that's a lot, at least the Cup at Invercargill is rating 70 with handicap, good they didn't have to adjust to a 55+ or something, just to make up numbers. -
so i didn't think the harness 5000 was a bright idea from the start and its proved worse than even i had anticipated. A 4 horse field running in the 3 year old fillies race with one of the starters not having run any better than 10th in non win races in recent starts. a race where a couple of horses that ran in the trotting derby can race against maidens. A race where a rating 82 horse takes on a 10 horse field which includes a totally out of form non win southland horse. the idea of including 3 year olds was dumb,,but not even i realised just how comical it would turn out. anyone with any brains would have realised that you would get full fields in the 5 year old and older,because that was for horses aged .5,6,7,8,9,10,11 plus . So all those grouped into one. But the 3 year olds, who already are getting preferential treatment with their penalty free wins and age group races they can run in,supposedly considered to deserve their own race .. there was many things that this series of races had wrong with it concept wise and they have just played out pretty much as expected,if not worse. So you've had this harness 5000, the 2 year old bonuses and the harness plus schemes and the promoting bonuses that you knew would be cancelled in the future like the nz bred based sire bonuses. everyone of them anyone with much sense could have told you beforehand, there were major flaws in the concepts. this is yet another,i told you so moment. why should people have any conficedence in the decision makers when they get it wrong all the time.Beats me. -

You obviously have a closed mind and didn't listen to what he said. Regardless he is right on a number of things - the majority of viewers don't see what the stipes have to find in the bunker reviewing in slo-mo HD video nor do they care. Also the micronority Anit-Racing brigade are ANTI-RACING fullstop. They won't stop at whip strike counts. That's where GRNZ got it wrong they should have focussed on positive metrics e.g. the number of dogs NOT injured rather than the micro-percentage that were. PS: you must have found the racing from Hong Kong totall abhorrent. I guess you watched reruns of The Dog House instead. -
Agree re unevenness of the fields and where maidens race race winners. Probably racing over the short distance might help a wee bit, but many are going to be out classed. The first race for 3 year old fillies with 4 lining up is just ridiculous, but then again this series wont be run again. Someone will wake up to the fact that the funds are going to come to an end and hopefully get serious about the coffers?
