Who said the paint brush was unused ? I can't afford a new one. I'm right here and ready for when a "sayer" becomes a "doer" you just say the word. -

Small time sponsors come in to play. Like your local pub or auto repairer and all sorts of things. Thus you get the people that work in those places a chance to be involved in the sport too. (this happens at all the small races we run around Australia everyday. it's a good thing. Usually the huge Feed and supply companies (like Garrards and Prydes Easy feeds will sponsor the Big races ) and No Matter how much You don't like the Money and Bonuses and that going to the HIGH end , it is IMPERATIVE it DOES. You must Know this ? adjust your cynacalism and pessimism a tickle as Woodlands and mobs like that there , are the same as Egmont Park (Seymour with Leap To Fame) and have the Millionaires and Stud farms . and not only provide a lot of the racehorses (your Stonewall bloke actually punts as well I believe to help the industry along ) as well as buying 2 x $300,000 + yearlings this year at record prices at the sales . OF COURSE you suck up to these blokes as much as Humanly possible Mate. You have to WANT them to get the high end Stakes , of COURSE HRNZ needs to 'Throw the Money at them " Exactly as you described. it's VITAL. Even here our Redcliffe Yearling Sale Bonus race was run last week , and Won by Dixon. for his '3rd String' Millionaire owner John Mammino with a little known 2 year old. John and acquaintance of mine, races about 10 horses with Grant Dixon each year. He picked up 100k last week. (race sponsored by Garrards Horse and Hound who also ran the Sale) John being a lead player at the Sale each year. so The Millionaires PROSPER occasionally Mr Galah , and it's VITAL they do , or interest in the sport will drop more than it is now. They NEED to have races for these BIG boys and they need to win them . ( a la Dean Shannon with 'Merlin' in NZ which has led to the great man racing another 10 horses there with Barry Purdon , a wonderful thing) Even Aus best in Lue McCarthy is starting out stud farms. Cobbity Farm stands 'King of Swing' and others. HRNZ (and Aus harness racing) is doing a wonderful Job laying on some races for these VITALLY IMPORTANT players. you just can't see it , as want the small bloke to win. they don't win the Big ones much mate. well sorry to tell you . It's Seymour, Stockman and Shannon etc that WILL WIN . even Gus has a multi millionaire owner who comes back to buy and race more horses based on that success. You WANT them to Win . and the battler ? well he has to go to Redcliffe or Westport or wherever lol. and race for $6000 for 11 months of the year. or be like Brodie criticising the good horses and the good owners that actually are vital to the sport , and their INVESTMENT deserves the Rich prizemoney. They Deserve it for their support 😁 the hobby horses racing at say Oamaru yesterday or Manawatu (like at Redcliffe here and places like that) can go around for $6000 . Makes no difference if they go for 10 or 12 . they're just the extra's. the bit players. the back ground players with men and women sending their hobby horses around like they have done for decades, and don't EXPECT to WIN much. -

Let's make it easier for you - why don't you name one that is? As I said in an earlier post from the large number of Clubs financial reports I've read none of them have enough revenue to maintain their infrastructure. -

I assure you I'm not delusional. What I do know is your negativity has reached a point of no return. You fit a well defined profile and sub-tribe of Grumpy Old Men. As for delusional I suggest you try some mirror gazing - you think moaning online and being negative about everything will change anything while making promises with an unused paint brush. LOL and you say I'm delusional?
