that was very good selecting by you last week,hard to top that. i'm not sure what you mean when you say-the appreciation of the main player,the horse does drop significantly as seen on bit of a yarn. Nnor where you say- people stop recognising the participants. i've never read anyone say that on here or in general elsewhere. if you listen to what that man said on that show,you can see everything he said is reflected in turnover figures,when those factors he mentions are at play in nz.. so,for the sake of the people and the horses in harness racing that you mention,,you need administrators implementing policies and procedures that maximise returns for industry participants. and when you say,its only a money making exercise if people focus on how to maximise turnovers,well that seems to undrervalue the importance of that somewhat. -
well had a bit of a dip here last week , posting 13 horses at BOAY Friday and Saturday for 8 wins, 3 seconds and 2 4ths . so a pretty savvy investor if having a go lol 😂. ( 2 of the second placings were beaten in close photo's too , and the other had to run 2nd anyway as was tipping the Quinella in that race with a toss-up. $9 Quinella in the end. Would rather be a Philanthropist like Kevin Seymour and give to the sport . or a Mick Boots with his support of a whole swag of trainers around the place with his many horse purchases to help keep them All in the game. Those boys being rewarded with racing Leap To Fame and Swayzee for their incredible efforts. Once people stop 'recognising ' the important participants , then it's ONLY a money making exercise from then on. and appreciation of the main Player (the horse) does drop significantly as seen on BOAY and everywhere really. And the investments ( and horses) are quickly forgotten once the 'Next' race comes along a few minutes later. A standard gap of 30 minutes is excellent , as that give punters a chance to invest every 15 minutes (if following 2 meetings, and the Participating drivers/owners/jockeys/ trainers a chance to catch their breathe between races and talk about prospects and results with out the sprinting about to prepare the next runner without even time for a drink. A standard Familiar date for racing as well , so Punters can adopt routine. Friday night Lights has been excellent for that so NZ is showing real progress in some areas like that. (Saturday night would be best but not possible you say) -
Imagine how frustrating it must be for Southern trainers having to travel and then turning around and going home without even racing, spend all that time and cost for nought. -

Blair Orange driving one hundred winners in a season might not seem like a big deal but as the seven-time premiership winning driver approaches three figures again, it’s just as important as the first time. “I remember the first time I got it done (2014) as it was with Donsmedad at Addington for the late Mike Austin who gave me so many opportunities early on. When I started out at Tim Butt’s, driving a winner was a goal so I never take any win for granted,” he added. It would be the 12th consecutive season Orange has racked up three figures, equalling the record held by Maurice McKendry. He currently shares the second-longest streak (11 seasons) with Dexter Dunn and Tony Herlihy. Herlihy still holds the record for the most 100-win seasons overall, with 17 to his name – although they weren’t all back-to-back. The gun driver has a number of good opportunities at Addington on Friday but has decided to head South on Sunday for the Invercargill meeting with a near full book of drives. “I’ve looked at the next 12 months and note there will be a lot more clashes with Canterbury meetings on Sundays so I will just have to weigh things up each week. I have had such great support in Southland and driven a lot of winners for some terrific people and that will definitely play a part going forward.” Amongst his book on Friday are the Cran and Chrissie Dalgety pair of Sugar Babe and Magician. The former is a last-start winner likely to face her stiffest opposition from her stablemate Forever Dream, whilst Magician takes on a strong field full of form in the Dallas and Sam Boyd Mobile Pace. The son of Captain Treacherous went a sound race first up when 7th behind the flying Akatea, so is likely to strip a lot fitter with the Diamond Racing pair of Miki Knows and Always B You likely to prove the hardest to beat. On Sunday his book includes the Mark Jones-trained pair of Ultimate Gladiator (R4) and Tact Tena, the latter in the final race. She has been in excellent form at Addington including a last-start 3rd behind the smart Ocean Of Tears but does have a 2nd row draw to contend with this week. View the full article
