    • it really has to be assessed on turnovers you would think. and in comparison with other clubs their turnovers aren't too bad. i didn't really look much at the netain pools yesterday although i did notice they had a jackpot first 4 of $1300 from the first race which resulted in an $11,000 first 4 pool in the following race. I've previously referred to those as a magnet for generating turnover and haver suggested how that could be maximised,although i doubt they ever will be. also the tabcorp pools are ok as well when compared with other nz race meetings. For example they had a $9370 win pool in one of the races last night and another win pool greater then entain/nz tab had.Obviously those had the time slot/sky coverage thing working for them i often refer to. so the point i make brodie is,you refer to financially viable race meetings. Well palmerstomn north dioesn't underperform in comparison to other meetings as you suggest. Meanwhile i was reading  The breeders email they send out. it had an interview with andrew grant who owns a handful of mares ,but doesn't think he will breed any this year. he laments the empty paddocks he currently sees at nevele r stud where he does some work. he said"i understand that things change and some things will never be the sameagain,but with all this top end funding recently announced,where is the support for the middle and lower end market,he lamented". well,90% of the industry are asking the same question as mr grant.
    • that is amazing. what a Sterling job you are doing then 🏆 . Was so happy ''Meant To Be'  won that Group 1 , and you're getting great results. we'll have to cheer for you in the 'Ascent'  for sure. hope that Aussie Chauffour, doesn't make it over,  in that case 😁  thanks Blackie , maybe Leap To Fame and Fate Awaits (for The Velocity ) will turn up 2025 Cup week . so might be worse than this year for the locals 😉 . Oscar managed to get something back for the locals in the FFA though. Can't wait to get to Addington to check out the action . One thing in Common for New Zealand and Australia is our ability to have a good Time and appreciate good sport and healthy life-style (unlike about  90% of the countries around the world) and Love our racing , footy and beer lol. no wonder both countries rated in TOP 10 on the planet.    
    • hahaha fair enough. I would of been thinking of the whip use on a biting horse , as a 'safety ' element to get it back in focus (and a little better educated as per your horse on the lead) I've got plenty of whip strikes from other drivers lol 😂. back handers and shit lol. bit safer these days with not being allowed to put the reins in one hand. Wonder if jockeys should have that rule ? that would stop flank whipping altogether. Speaking of biting horses , the worst injury I got in 20 years horses work was a stallion savaged me on the torso flank with a huge bite. was massive pressure, teeth marks and all. dropped me on the ground in a split second. (It saw a horse it didn't like a bit too close within the vicinity) ..anyway ,I swear this is true , I was lifting the shirt later on at a party to impress the girls and had massive mouth shaped black and blue bruising and teeth marks,  around my back right around to belly button nearly , so was telling them , Great White Shark attack !! 🤣 , but I fearlessly beat the creature off before the teeth punctured and lived to tell the tale. Well bit of 'In-correct' species but sounded impressive so 'He-man Gamma'  had the girls swooning all week , and rubbing the bruising cream on . 👍😁.
    • A proper fan boy like you couldn't miss them. 
    • number 4 'Tastula' had the magic enhancement Chief. $6. in to $3.40 . won by lengths. blinkers worked a treat.  'That's Outstanding' was focused  as well ? and came home well with the blinkers working for a $16 Quinella. 'Space Ace' stopped to a walk the last bit . 1900m maidens are tough to lead ?  lol 🤣😂 took my red-back with it too the blasted thing 🙄. Gai  might have to take the Blinkers Off the weak thing, by the look of it ? getting too keen 😋😆'
