Looking at Sunday's card at Te Aroha you'd think there had never been a problem around jumping fields. -
isn't mr steele in auckland tonight trying to sell to aucklanders the best way to spend ten's of millions of hrnz funds on auckland. i mean,he would be loving it up there. the saviour has arrived. this could be his finest hour. he would ride in on his white horse called moneybags,have money bags stomp his feet a few times to get everyones attention. Then he would dismount,start unsaddling money bags by removing large sacks with writing on them like,forbury money,southland money,grass roots canterbury prizemoney.He would then pick them up,it would be a struggle as the bag with forbury money on it is rather heavy. then he would throw them on the table where mr mckinnon sits and mr mckinnon would flash a cheeky grin and stand up and address the crowd and say,i told you this restructuring was going to be a piece of cake. at that point brad,we know him well enough to call him by his first name,would spot tabman in the crowd. They would exchange a bit of banter,like your the man tabmanforever,no your the man brad,no your the man tabman,no your the man brad. after about 5 minutes of that only jamie,yes we know mr mckinnon well enough to be on first name tems as well,will be the only one awake and he will be observed doing starfish motions on the money,(and n,o no sexual pun intended there). so brad will call out to money bags and have him stomp his feet and all the members will awake and mutter yes,just as they are asked to vote, as if they have been dreaming a nightmare that all of a sudden awoken to a happy ending. then brad will whistle,money bags will come over,brad will jump on and let out a cry of,my work is done here, then a few hi ho money bags and away. he will gallop back out the door,do a couple of laps of the field while the blues traini and yell out to them,this is crusaders country now you bunch of losers, then gallop off into the distance. who was that masked man the blues players will say, wthwere will be whispers of ,was that rob penny. but then jamie will come out of the meeting room say and yell,not ron penny boys ,that was brad steele. remember this day,you will tell your granchildren about it. -
Its interesting thar your % demograpics differ a bit from that of the average facebook user. You clearly have a significant, across the board, greater % of men,whereas they say on facebook its about a 53% women to 47 % men in nz.Apparently mums check facebook the most so that may skew the figures of the female users a wee bit. In the younger demographics in nz, they are seeing significant increases in the numbers of under 35 year olds using the likes of tik tok. Overall 37% of new zealanders use tik tok. But those younger users aren't your base anyway.But getting exposure on there is relevant going forward for hrnz. anyways,its also noticeable your overall %'s are more significant in the likes of the over 45 age group compared to facebook overall and i guess that would flow on into the over 55 age groups as well. And that makes sense given that is a base of nz harness followers. so given the % of over 55's using facebook in nz drops significantly, compared with other age groups. And given you've shown above your content is viewed in greater numbers by those in those older age groups. Then it just makes sense if you can get exposure to the older demographic through the HRNZ website then you would significantly grow your audience. the whole point of exposure on these things is positive ,relateable exposure. And thats what yours is. Its a no brainer that hrnz should be using your content to attract not only people interested in harness racing,but the casual observer . i guess thats why they don't do it. It makes too much sense.

Auckland is haemorrhaging millions of dollars in losses each year snd it just is not going to improve in the future going by the current HRNZ policies! What would give us some confidence that HRNZ knows what it is doing and we are talking BS, is if Brad Steele would come on to BOAY and explain to us mere mortals that everything is under control! He won’t because he knows that things are dire and he can not back up with fact that things are rosey as he stated on Trackside a few weeks ago! Doesnt have to be Brad, can be anyone that can advise us all of how great things are! -

Graeme Rogerson has watched on with pride as the progeny of Ferrando have begun to hit their straps of late, and even more so when his homebred filly, Prosper (NZ) (Ferrando), powered to victory on debut at Cambridge’s synthetic meeting on Wednesday. Rogerson, who trained and part-owns Ferrando, has been a strong supporter of the Group One-performing son of Fast ‘N’ Famous since his arrival at Westbury Stud, with Prosper among his second crop of juveniles to race. Prosper trialled twice in heavy track conditions before stepping out in the Group One Turf Bar MAAT Final 970, jumping a $15 hope with fellow juvenile Miss Moet All (Russian Revolution) dominating the market at $1.50. Miss Moet All had designs on the early lead, speeding up to join Catoca (NZ) (Swiss Ace) and Beau Luca (NZ) (Embellish), while jockey Samantha Collett sat patiently in behind the hot tempo aboard Prosper, and the filly was travelling well as the field compressed into the home turn. Miss Moet All held on gamely down much of the home straight, but Prosper was just winding up and she stormed over the top short of the line to score by three-quarters of a length. Rogerson held the filly in high regard prior to her debut and was pleased to see that on display with a $27,500 mid-week stake on offer. “I think she’s a Classic filly, I really like her,” he said. “She’s trialled very well and has done everything we’ve asked of her. “It was just getting to the end of the season and I thought, with the $25,000 MAAT races on, I would run her against the older horses, and she was too good. (The instructions were) to let her find her feet and she’ll go to the line, which she did. They went hard in front, and it was a good result. “I bred her and I’ve sold 10 percent of her today, I’ll let my friends come into her now and after her next start, she should have quite a few owners. “I think she’ll make a lovely three-year-old filly, she’s always shown a bit.” Prosper is out of a Duelled mare Nouvelle Reine (NZ), with her granddam a stakes-performing two-year-old in Deautche Express (NZ). The result comes during a strong period for Prosper’s young sire, with El Vaquero’s (NZ) (Ferrando) victory at Oamaru on Sunday, and Spandeedo (NZ) (Ferrando), an impressive last-start winner, currently sitting favourite for Saturday’s Listed Phils Electrical and Gipsy Caravans Ryder Stakes (1200m) at Otaki. “She’s making Ferrando look good, and I hope another of his (Spandeedo) can win the Ryder Stakes on Saturday,” Rogerson said. “Pitman’s horse (El Vaquero) is running in the three-year-old race at Riccarton on Saturday week as well. “He’s going well, and he’s got some nice horses for next season. Some of them need a little bit of time, but he’s certainly got enough good horses coming through.” Among his older progeny is Skymax (NZ) ((Ferrando), a Team Rogerson-trained filly who finished fourth behind Leica Lucy in this year’s Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m), while she was also Group Three-placed earlier in the season. “Skymax, who was fourth in the Oaks, will have her first run along this time in tomorrow morning (Thursday), I think she could be very good this season,” Rogerson said.
