Francis Lui Kin-wai has sprung a surprise by declaring Hong Kong Derby (2,000m) hero Cap Ferrat will be set for the Group One Hong Kong Mile in December. Set to resume in the Group Two Sha Tin Trophy (1,600m) on October 26, the Australian import will be kept to the mile trip rather than a return to the distance of his upset Derby triumph in March. Lui also tested Cap Ferrat over 2,400m in the Group One Champions & Chater Cup in May and the son of Snitzel responded with a solid third behind...View the full article -

I was there too. Don't remember the booing. We would have done better if we hadn't been parked. But that bunch of 3yr olds were an even handy lot. -
yes . I can see you have a similar problem to Aus in keeping the 'location' clubs going. Victoria harness racing is in Massive debt because they keep All the areas open ( and no one bets on them much) so the NZ situation is not unique. Nor is recent . Hutt Park closed yonks ago for example. You have lost a lot of your old trainers ( as we did in QLD when Cairns, Townsville , Tweed/Gold Coast all closed ) over the years. not financially viable to keep them functioning with the operating costs. So they're GONE FOREVER from those Locations 😢. like you lost Hutt and Forbury Park and New Plymouth and therefore several trainers from those areas . Cambridge has kept some of your very last Central districts trainers going Dickson and Doody that are 2 left still getting a Cambridge winner . Berger now retired. and the hard working lasses of some like ( Chilcott and Donnelly and their great staff) are doing a wonderful job and getting winners still. They even try at Auckland occasionally, but it's too hard most of the time , against those expensive horses of Telfers, greens and Stockmans. It is all about LOCATION . yes. Tiz why QLD run Marburg ( and Redcliffe every week) all the slow horses get a go still Those stables (like Doody, Gillies, Teaz etc) are mini 'Businesses you know? they need somewhere to conduct their business . without flattening their runners against the BIG boys like Mikey thinks is the answer. best of luck to todays Cambridge Competitors. (still racing against the odds 🤣) -
the slot races were an example of cambridge adding on substanial debt,when it already had substanial debt which it was struggling with.. Thatt not smart,its dumb,irrespective of where the club is situated. your argument seems to be based around where the clubs are located.Thats seems to be the way hrnz view it as well. Our argument is about finances,not where the club is located. finances is a basic. Hrnz should not have lower acceptable standards of finacial management based on where a club is located.But they do.Thats always been the main point. -
that sounds a great idea. And I see they do run some Amateur drivers races still (North and South) although even then the forums pick the standard of driving to bits then , and is still Not a betting product for them. So a non-win situation still in the end. HRNZ is the parent company. Parents try to look after their children. It's their job. they don't Care whether it's the North or the South. The HRNZ have computers you know ? and professional staff ? who assemble fields , and allocate the prizemoney (that is available for a WHOLE Season at a time) and try and look after All participants . They are a NATIONAL body. It's done by computer. you complaining blokes don't know better than a computer i'm sorry. I thought the Participants funding themselves in Slot races would be the answer (Millionaires) as seemed a way for the BEST horses of the 2 nations/or states to compete togeather for BIG Money 💰. and not break the annual funding budget . But i'm Wrong. The Slot race EUREKA run at Menangle last Month was a complete Joke for various reasons. and I've changed my mind . They are Not the answer. they only favour 'some'. too few in my opinion now. HRNZ will continue to find answers though. ( How to get the BEST horses competing in Great racing ) as well as supporting the 'Everyday trainer' Like today at CAMBRIDGE throughout the year. They do a great job of this and you Can't see it for some reason. Great racing all year round in NZ . ( as opposed to silly QLD with just one month of the BIG dollar racing , that is good to bet on ) and 11 months of the 'Everyday trainer' helping them races , that aren't worth betting on ) If you guys knew how Lucky you really are to have great racing like Tomorrow night , instead of whinging about it (and ratings , and HRNZ, and this and that all the time , you could enjoy yourselves more. 😉👍 Crying poor in the South Island is understandable I spose as you blokes still run so many horses, that only a few are returning a profit for their connections. All the North Island Stables are nearly all returning a profit currently. exactly what the sport needs to keep going. and HRNZ are not in charge of turnover?. This is up to the Betting Companies to have methods of attracting a punters' dollars. Personally I think it is a product that VERY FEW wins off. ( just the few at pundits at BOAY can , that have actually got some inside and accumalated knowledge about the sport) . Most others LOSE. so it doesn't worry me it's not a great betting product. No places in Aus have a Harness Betting product worth investing on these days either. The REAL PUNTERS are at the gallops or the Football .
