    • well they don't run it as a fish and chips shop mate .and hope customers 'roll up for a feed at random. of course they run it as it is a business. you're just so used to sinking the boot in , you can't help yourself. The HRNZ have done an Outstanding Job in recent years , and possibly returns a profit , where-as a lot of Aussie states run at a loss. HRNZ have even put fabulous races on that the Aussies have been plundering for the past 3 years now , which is probably a bad thing , as the monies are all going overseas.  A Victim of it's own success ? 😅🏆. there are better prizes than ever up for grabs in VERY trying times for the average household. A sign HRNZ have outstanding staff and business acumen ( it's you that doesn't 😋 )  Horse Racing Is ON THE NOSE of the general public mate. I'll give you an example . The Melbourne Cup . A huge Australian Tradition, part of the development fabric of the nation,  on the World Stage even . BUT in the past 20 years it's gone from 80% public interested to 2024 ONLY 20% of the nation recognizing the race was even being run. Horse Racing is FADING mate.  so APPLAUD the efforts of your country mates at HRNZ . They've done a Sterling job in the face of Adversity ( adversity being the public acceptance of horse racing in 2025)  I saw LEAP TO FAME . the Best horses ever Australasia. Win at Cambridge ??? who would of thought that possible 5 years ago. and Arcee Phoenix , the INTERDOMINION Champion , has won at Cambridge and raced Addington. Never thought I would see such sensational racing in my lifetime . We OWE HRNZ much thanks for this sort of stuff.  HRNZ doing an Outstanding job. Getting the best in the World at their tracks . And you still complain about them.🤔 Nothing makes you guys happy. No Government could do it . no race club can do it either 😅🤣. I say WELL done HRNZ .  Champions in a world of pain. Keep up the amazing work and See ya Cup week !!!! 🏆 for more outstanding racing .  
    • The Southern surge has got good numbers, surprisingly but the weather has been kind there this Winter that helps.
    • Brodie I wouldn't worry about things, if the stakes are reduced then the stakes are reduced, it would be a learning curve, Iive within your means, shame they ain't doing that now but it's not sustainable based on the income,(turnover) but at present with small fields and good stakes the few left racing horses are probably doing very well, but nothing last forever. The 2 meetings up North is not sustainable every week, I think they are starting to see that, they survive nicely at the other end of the country with 1 day, I don't even think they want any more days, just make use of the ones they have. Same things happening to some of our sport, the Netballers are slowly dieing off and unless the Rugby union can move Sky on the NPC then many in that will be taking a pay cut too, Moana Pacifica is another example, money's not plentiful for many of us, fact.
    • Cambridge cancellation due to shortage of numbers. Harness need to realise that until HRNZ realise that they need to be running harness racing as a business things are going to continue to falter! Brad Steele stating on Trackside a few weeks ago that things are going well just shows us all just how poorly they are performing. The only reason things have held up is due to the constant stream of money that was promised racing and this is going to end. Racing for $8k is probably what a lot of the meetings will be once Entain pot of gold comes to an end. reality is that HRNZ have acted very irresponsibly with the money they have been given
