That's the known risk. 2.5% ($25,000) of a $1,000,000 colt yearling could make you a millionaire! So if you spread your risk and choose wisely... To think I was offered a share in one of the best stallions for a few thousand and turned it down. Stands now at over $90,000 a shot! -

the one thing everyone agrees on is we want to see a sustainable industry.. We need leadership who brings us together and has everyone pull in the same direction and makes everyone ,whatever the level,or the scale,feel valued. we also need honesty and transparency. extolling confidence that everything is all fine and dandy, when people can see with their own eyes that the indicators show everything is not fine and dandy,well all that does is undermine peoples faith in the person giving the misleading statements. The industry also needs to use resources in areas that get results.They should not use resources to try and attain results in areas that for decades, previous administrators have tried and failed to achieve.Theres a reason for the previous failures. why can't people see that. Personally i think HRNZ has got so much completely wrong. they should be coming up with strategies based on intergenerational transfer of families interest in harness racing,whether it be as a racegoer,an owner or a breeder or whatever. emphasis should be placed on catering for the families of people who already participate.And not only to encourage families, but also their friends and associates, to come along to race meetings. Hrnz should be using resources to work together with clubs to provide facilities, entertainment ,refreshments and food at cost, all so as to make current owners and breeders feel their families and friendsare going to an event or gathering, were common interests can be shared and fun to be had.That should be the focus. HRNZ should be cordinating and directing resources to clubs who do this . It shouldn't just be based on the harness product,it should be based on the harness product being the catalyst for bringing them together. Do that,and your selling the industry in a positive way. That is the best way to plant the seed. It may not bear fruit tomorrow,but when those people hit an age where they have more of the discretion $ to spend,theres a good chance they might consider spending it on a family,friend based product,i.e. harness racing. HRNZ undervalue the contribuitions and importance of people 40 and over,and hrnz overvalue the importance of people under 40. stakes paid are only part of the reason peopleown horses,recognise that and place more emphasis on the other reasons. i say again,as i believe its being missed by administrators,intergenerational transfer of peoples interests in the sport where significant focus should be. I have also commented in the past that hrnz should be directing resources to get harness racing into the pshyce of people.Subconciously make people aware that its there,contributing to their communities.theres many ways they could do that without spending much money. then theres the horses.

My apologies however I think you reinforce my point that the evidence is weak to actually create any policy on.
