    • I hate tennis. a poor sport where millionaire brats and bratesses whack a ball over the net. Some Russian with a name you can't even pronounce will probably win the ladies at the end. and Some people actually Bet on it . Its not an 'Appealling ' betting product at all. BUT do WE wish them NOT to Have it ?  no.  We have Beautiful Horses (Of WORLD Class quality) and Fantastic Horsemen (and women) Competing at Auckland each and every week. But they're NOT APPEALLING  to you guys . Just an Insult to the fine fine NZ harness racing industry. Barry Purdon near the BEST in the WORLD at his craft , but not appealing for South Islander to bet on . Insulting to the sport you blokes . Lost your money on something probably and just all bitter as chips with vinegar on.  😆
    • i was reading the hrnz website news today. And it got me thinking about what i would like to see. well we all know i think the unhinged content should be on there.But that seems to be a no no for hrnz,for unknown reasons. But i was thinking the hrnz website should have something like what unhinged does and what they should do is take a couple of specific horses and just follow them through there life. They should provide 5 minute monthly updates on what is involved in those horses life. Right form a month prior to when they are foaled,right through to when they retire,how they are cared for by the stud,the breeder,why the stallion was chosen,why this why that as they progress through life,the cosr of this and that,the owners,who they are,why they race them,. It could end up  a 10 year segment.The people who handle them when grazing and showcase not only winning efforts but workouts,trials races. Like shots of how the horses react to losing ,competing,etc,etc,mheir horse mates in the paddock,how they react to the weather,etc,etc.Even some loyal punters who bet on it ,win or lose,could get a mention harness racing need to  be showing what makes harness racing tick,and its not all about winning. i bet it would slowly get get a huge following . maybe the unhuinged man is who they should commission to do that segment for HRNZ. but to me its something thats lacking when you look at the hrnz website.    
    • Yes but the whole handicapping system is open to exploitation.
    • He's Victoria race for quite low prizemoney now. The stakes are being slashed constantly. There Big race of the year (to equal the NZ Cup ) is the Hunter Cup. Swayzee got $142,000 defeating Leap To Fame who got $37,000 2nd. That's just a disgrace for the best horse in the world. In nearly our Biggest race.  We race for about a half of the amount of your NZ races here in QLD ( except for the Constellations 4 week that just finished) we have 11 months of standard everyday 'boring' stuff now. which is annoying. But good for the participants.  Perhaps you race for too Much in one meeting ???  152 k  at Auckland on Friday seems a lot for a Mid Winter meeting ? Perhaps you should 'cut it in half' to meet the 'Turnover' needs some of you are desperately seeking.   Yes I just hate to think a Sport should collapse because of poor betting. NO other sport does . cricket still continues with no crowd and no Indian bookmakers lol😂😋
