No doubt it's a tragedy. The original man Kerry Hoggard (president of the ATC then) died right at that point as construction was about to start . It was his brainchild the Apartments. Guess John Green and his company couldn't save the day afterall then . was just an idea. thank you very much for that info. John along with his wife and old friend of mine. I went to their wedding at Alexandra Park actually lol. They still races horses with Tony Herlihy and Hughes as well. they raced The Orange Agent. she was a beauty , won near a million? but broke bones in the end 😪. I think the Original contractor doing the apartment job for ATC went Belly-up which snowballed the problems dramatically. what a bloody nightmare the whole thing has turned into. re: greyhounds They shut the greyhounds down once 2016 in NSW for a time, but then the government shortly after overturned the decision as 2000 people would of lost their livelihood. so they made welfare changes in the industry and away they went again. NZ should do that. 😊 as for Entain. I'm grateful they put up money for 5 years . Everyone racing for a quid a bit longer. I'm sure when the five years approaches some plan will be in place for harness to continue. Even if they race for half the money they do now, so be it. Have slot races and put money up ourselves 😁 or pay just acceptance Fees like we DID for Years. Vic Frost (now 80 years old the famous millionaire Westburn Grant man ) won with his horse tonight and picked up $2,369 for his trouble . Just like last week. horse has won 3 races from 15 starts and about 10k this year. It's not about the money for some just doing their sport/hobby. People are happy to be winning . even if prizemoney greatly reduced. You might have to do that in New Zealand. on ya Vic ! you old marvel you -
It reads that the taxpayer is going to be paying Entain money to enable them to fulfil the 900m obligation! They are hypocrites if they think it needs to ban greyhounds in NZ as they think it is cruel and yet they are endorsing the cruelty of greyhound racing in Australia, by accepting wagering on them!! NZ greyhound people are being totally shafted! How can anyone with any common sense be able to justify the anomalies? -
Gee Forbury has one of those names/attitude where you wish you could grab someone thru a PC screen,and just lay the MF out....complete flog. -

I don't understand how you can say Greyhound racing is bad so lets ban it on animal welfare grounds, but it's ok for animal welfare to be abused off shore. -
An embarrassment ?? people having fun with their sport. Why do you have to get involved as a Naysayer of the sport anyway ? go and do some knitting or something. Best think ever is that HRNZ LOOKING after the Grass roots people with SLOW horses, so they can have fun . The GAlah was calling for HRNZ to look after the 'grass roots ' .You guys all saying the Elite getting looked after too well ?? 🤣 here they are doing it. HRNZ looking after the slow ones , and then get an 'abortion of a comment 'like yours ,😄 that's pretty funny. Just up the road from me tonight a few horses are racing at Redcliffe . The slowest of the slow 🤣. an extra meeting so they can have some fun. only $4000 races. winners get $2300 I think. 7 Winners getting a weeks wages . And NOBODY here is calling it an abortion or an Embarassment in the slightest ( or are betting on them lol🤣 ) Racing QLD has put up some races for them to get a WINNER. How IMPORTANT that is , to keep them happy. Great to see HRNZ trying to do the same tomorrow in the Waikato 👍👍 it's how harness racing can Survive.
