    • It's still a Pre-season game against Thames Valley for the Ranfurly Shield. Their first NPC game for 2025 is not until 2 August. Last year for the NPC they averaged 4,000 a game.   I doubt it will make much difference to the numbers going to the races.  
    • Half the battle in picking winners is picking what the driver is going to do.  Race 2 Winton was a perfect point. Interesting that the driver who normally leads at all costs and is well known to whip a horse to get there was content to sit parked when in any other race she would be straight to the front and hard to run down.  One of the reasons I do not bet in races where there are a number of stablemates running. It is hard to know who is trying and who is not.
    • if you goggle the property investment strategy,which is where hrnz said the forbury funds were to be invested,it immediately  comes up referencing grants from the infastructure fund and how that works. And if you click on all the goggle responses with the property investment strategy fund,theres  lots of words on those searches,but just seems to say it will go where they think it is best used,which could mean anything. your seem to be saying,that the infastructure grants has no funding whatsoever from the property investment fund. I'm not saying your wrong,i'm saying a goggle search of hrnz  links one to the other. It gives 3 people who it specifiies makes decisions around grants from the infastructure fund,one is a southern representative. So no reference to a canterbury or northern representative being part of that decision making.   So i was saying that bit is confusing. Did forbury trade off a say in the management of all their money for a small saying in the infastructure fund. That seems quite illogical and weak. But why do they have a representative on the infarstructure decision making and i can find no apparent referrence to meaningful input into the millions  they gave hrnz. i mean surely forbury weren't that silly,because if they were that would allow hrnz to use their funds in the northern region and the last time i looked,you don't see horses who used to support forbury lining up at auckland..Like i sadi,the peter profit article seems to be suggesting hrnz is considering using forbury fund for auckland. Now i don't know whether thats true,but what i do know is peter profit has been very accurate in the past in his reporting on auckland and appears to being fed correct information from a disillusioned inside source. anyways.we will see what happens as i just seems to make no sense for hrnz to bail out  a club that generates continuing losses for the industry,without a plan how to turn around those losses. even considering that is sending the message to participants,especially breeders,that your going to be racing for poor stakes with the horses you breed in the fututre. Like i have said. I have thought it obvious,part of  the reason why breeding numbers were down this year could be attributed to a lack of confidence in the quality of leadership decision making.at least thats what the small number of people i speak to seem to have thought. but hey,everyone movves in different circles and maybe those  ever dropping breeding numbers were part of the reason the ceo keeps saying everything is looking positive,which of course is illogical.  
    • Six races down , with 4 to go. They're sending them around the Redcliffe Triangle after-All tomorrow night for 3 races . with the 10th and Final Leg at Albion Park Race 1 Saturday night . James Herbertson sure to take the title before he steps out driving RAKERO REBEL on behalf of the late Greg Sugars in the Interdominon Pacing Grand Final.  Here's the current race by race points scored in photo below.   Herbie cruising to victory in Leg 6 by 3 lengths from NZer Carter Dalgety and a staggeringly good $68 Quinella . The class of driver well worth following as predicted at start of thread, and you can reap the rewards .  (I missed it though as was in shock a little from the late Chris Garrards passing)  POINTS UPDATE.  Young drivers Championship. Herbie (Vic) 72, Jett (NSW) 53, Chloe (QLD) 52, Emily (WA) 44, Carter (NZ) 38, Sam (NZ)and Bernadette (SA) 32,  Wilson (NZ) 30, Harrison (NZ) 22 , Brodie (TAS) 16.     
    • To be honest I doubt that many people would even know the ranfurly shield is on, I certainly didn't. I didn't even know Taranaki held the shield. I presume it is Taranaki defending it? Who is challenging for it? Manaia sounds like a bit of a two horse hick town, so they can't be expecting a very big crowd.
