      seems an irony there. Steven reid moves to canterbury,then the purdons announce a move to train from steven reids fromer barn,at a training centre that the auckland club is desperate to sell,with no guarantee that  any future purchaser will extend a lease to enable training to continue from ,even if it was sold. Auckland of course does have a future if sensible,realistic decisions regarding future plans , are made by the club and hrnz. but where's the evidence of anything currently being in place or being sustainable? What is happening with the pukekohe training centre? How many more millions will the auckland club be in debt before they announce a sale and will the sale price be anywhere near what the original offer was and how many million $, (possibly tens of millions) will hrnz contribute  to help establish a training centre for the pukekohe trainers and will racing continue at alexandra park.And where does that HRNZ money come from?  All those questions you would think must have been in the back of the minds of the purdons,but they have the luxury of having a big bank balance and can set up there own training facilty down the track i suppose. But at the end of the day,the purdons have a history of making wise decisions so lets hope they are happy and prosper and contribute as they have previously, to racing in the upper north island. i would say,they are a definite plus for auckland racing,as auckland harness racing is very much reliant on the professional trainers to provide the horse numbers. Having said that.  The purdon stable  very much focus on the udr. Last year they lined up 216 starters,and didn't actually make the top 20 trainers nz starters, numbers wise.

      To make it easier for the South Island sprinters Otaki would be my pick. Would be fair given they have said goodbye to Saturday weeks G1 but when did NZ racing admin apply being fair in their critical decision making?
