Sounds like exactly what completely rooted the TAB with previous NZ Post employees running the show for a few years getting a fat salary but making the stupid decisions that started the decline into what we have today. -
Actually i was reading the segment for the 2 new directors positions currently advertised at hrnz. What struck me,about the qualitiies they were looking for in someone to fill that position,was they could easily get people who have no idea wahtsover about the realiites of what makes harness racing tick. Its like they want people to manage the industry who know how to manage other indutries,yet if you follow harness racing you realise harness racing has its own unique issues and patterns. In other words,things that work in the private sector would be the opposite of what you would do in harness racing. i mean if they end up with directors who listen to mr steele or listen to some of the dumb arse comments you get on trackside,from people who ramble on about how strategically important auckland is primarily based on the fact it has a large population,then you will get dumb decisions being made be the new directors as well. Harness racing need people who can think for themselves, not be unduly influenced by the smooth talkers with self interests. -
Gamma, Steve Stockman is receiving preferential treatment as a punter by the NZ TAB and personally find it rather appalling! The fact that he spends mega dollars in the industry by way of racing horses should not give him any better treatment than any other punter! It is ethically and morally wrong business actions from the TAB and yet they are allowed to get away with it as it has a monopoly in NZ. Slot races are fine Gamma as a novelty but there are so few that it makes no difference to the viability of harness racing in NZ, What is very disappointing is that there seems to be a lack of accountability being shown coming out of HRNZ. Without wagering from punters there will be no harness racing end of story as there will be no stake money available. Something has to give and it will, and not sure where the Committee that was being arranged has got to? -
Gamma, do appreciate your enthusiasm for all harness racing and your support for NZ racing. Unfortunately I highly doubt there would be anyone or any company that is willing to chuck money into NZ harness to support it, once Entsin pulls the plug ! It is absolutely so hard to understand how HRNZ is acting currently and it will not end well for harness racing in NZ as a consequence! At the end of the day HRNZ are supposed to be acting in the best interests of harness racing so they must be using their expertise to the best of their ability?

You seem to be saying because we think the small fields dominated by favorites are an unappealing betting product,then somehow that means we find the people and horses who provide that product unappealing. whcih of course is not what we are saying at all. In fact gammalite,what we are saying is we wish there were more of the people and the horses to make the betting product more appealing.. so how your characterising what w'ere saying, isn't a true reflection on what we are saying. your not alone in doing that of course. all auckland supporters do the same. They do it because they can't argue with the fact the betting product is generally quite unappealing,thats obvious. so they try and make it out to be a criticism of the people up there,when its very obviously not. Its actually unfair when people do that,but hey,its all they got to counter the argument. Actually,when you say we pick on auckland,actually i don't know about others ,but i've said several times soutthland is heading in the same direction. And we've all criticised 2 year old races at addington being unappealing.
