Gee TAB I've missed ya, talk about air pollution, nothing like a good breeze now and then to clear the air, happens every year and you see the stiff breeze we just had means plenty of trees and firewood and heating for next winter, and the snow on the ground often kills the bugs, yet strangely I havnt seen snow recently but I heard it was somewhere, now I don't want to get into the Auckland knocking today but didn't Eden Park look sad last night for the Cricket, about as sad as Aucklands combined effort in the NPC you know that competition that in your eyes no one cares about yet strangely it appears your thoughts are often misguided , even people embraced the Ranfurly Shield, Don't know my neighbours too well but with a $10 plus payout for milk solids don't think too many will be struggling. Now TAB we may always agree to dis agree on things but you must not get so sensitive about things, but the nominations issue is always interesting, if you don't like them don't read them. -

No easy solutions Gamma..... Slot races in NZ Harness not seen as enticing new people into the sport. Actually looks like the Owners/breeders of the favoured horses have felt obliged to take a SLOT to just get the race over the line. And breeding and owning horses in NZ not such an easy money maker or easy to do fullstop...Farmers with a bit of land and cash to spare are getting less and less , overseas travel more fun with the cash ! Its an expensive and risky hobby , small breeders unlikely to make a profit . And when you get a horse with talent you soon get an offer which , tho not life changing , stops the nagging expenses ! And we don't have patience or time ...many of the bigger owners getting older and cutting back after much success in recent years. Sales prices at big sales for the race -series are inflated greatly. And the 2 to 3 years to wait for your horse to grow and perform is no longer acceptable. A next-gen Horse with mainly young owners recently won its 3rd or 4th lower class race and there were ZERO of ownership on course ! In summary ,Harness has little going for it ....yes Canterbury people ,well 300 of them will drive to a meeting on a Sunday and attend twice over Christmas holidays and NZ Cup day. But forget the rest. And a shocking lack of Marketing and promotion doesn't help the week in - week out grind of repeat business !
