    • It certainly probably is the best thing to do for the industry when everything else is working tracks, programming, competent governing body, calendar, effective wagering model  etc. But the research they probably looked at ,was from a jurisdiction that had all of that good stuff in place, they really are that silly.
    • But that same betting agency has yet to implement any real changes that might improve turnover to the extent that revenue improves.  I had occasion to chat with the now-departed B Sharrock at Ashburton one day, and brought up the matter of throwing money at stakes but doing little to improve other facets that have been discussed to death here. He said, in all seriousness,  that research had shown that increasing stakes was the best way to achieve that. Dunno what research but at that point I felt the conversation was going nowhere so bid him good day.
    • Well, they were right if that is the case.
    • Wrt barrier certificates I think so.  You used to be able to get barrier certificates from the old wooden gates but not now, the overhead ones must be used and licensed riders. That was the problem with a horse I inherited  as he wouldn't accept the overhead gates and there was no opportunity to work with him in those gates other than at trials or official jumpouts.  So I had to send him to Wingatui where those gates were available any time wanted.
    • In support of local Veterans and retired racehorses, the Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga will host its mid-winter fundraising event at the Horseshoe Inn Bar and Grill Feb. 27 in support of the organization's Freedom Rein program. The event begins at 6:00 p.m. and runs through 10:00 p.m. The event will aim to raise $5,000 to sponsor Veterans or service members for an eight-week Equine Therapy Group. The Freedom Rein program provides therapeutic interactions with retired racehorses, offering participants a unique form of mental health support. Event highlights will include, live music provided by Jeff Walton, a buffet dinner, cash bar, a spotlight on retired racehorse success stories and a raffle featuring exclusive items, with proceeds directly benefitting the THS Veteran's Program.
