    • Perhaps the Cup is being run for too much money ? There's not enough Local Open class talent to hold out the Aussie rivals and a huge chunk of the money is just going overseas. Victoria cut their Stakes from $500,000 to $350,000 for the Hunter Cup this year . with the drop in revenue biting. The BIG trot of The Great Southern Star and the soon upcoming Time honoured Victoria Cup  have both reduced from $300,000 to $250,000 this season.   Perhaps NZ should of done the same ?? to stop as many Horses arriving from overseas for the big prizes .?  Swayzee and Just Believe cutting a swathe out of the NZ pockets the past 2 years already.   There's some great racing Coming Up in NOVEMber soon though . Check this Out ! from the HRV web. Next Thursday (August 28) is the cut-off to nominate for the $NZ1mil Group 1 IRT NZ Trotting Cup at $NZ400,000 Group 1 Renwick Farms Dominion Trot – both run at Addington on November 11. Aussies won both races last year with Swayzee successfully defending his NZ Cup crown and Just Believe posting his last Group 1 win in the Dominion. With the likes of Leap To Fame, Swayzee, Arcee Phoenix and probably Keayang Chucky slated to make the trip this year, the Aussie presence will be stronger than ever. Those two features are the backbone of a massive 11 days of racing and three feature Addington meetings, where more than $NZ4 million in prize money is up for grabs, including $NZ1.26mil for open-class pacers, $NZ500,000 for open-class trotters and $NZ925,000 for 3YO pacing fillies. The feature race schedule is: OPEN PACERS 11 November Junior FFA $60,000 – Group 2 11 November IRT New Zealand Cup $1,000,000 – Group 1 14 November New Zealand FFA $200,000 – Group 1 OPEN TROTTERS 11 November Renwick Farms Dominion $400,000 – Group 1 14 November New Zealand Trotting FFA $100,000 – Group 1 3YO PACERS 14 November The Velocity $500,000 21 November New Zealand Pacing Derby $300,000 – Group 1 3YO PACING FILLIES 11 November Nevele R Fillies Final $200,000 21 November New Zealand Pacing Oaks $225,000 – Group 1 3YO TROTTERS 14 November The Ascent $500,000 21 November New Zealand Trotting Derby $200,000 – Group 1 3YO TROTTING FILLIES 21 November New Zealand Trotting Oaks $140,000 – Group 1 4YO PACERS 21 November The Christian Cullen $125,000 – Group 1 TROTTING MARES 21 November Continental Event Hire ‘Trotting Mares’ $60,000 – Group 2
    • Understandably. No sign of NZTR implementing any of the safety and welfare recommendations from the April Massey report. 
    • 5K a step in the right direction. Inclusion of Sundays would be helpful.
    • Canterbury Park announced that, in cooperation with the Minnesota HBPA, the purses for the Blair's Cove Minnesota Turf and the Bella Notte Minnesota Distaff Sprint will be increased to $50,000 and will be conducted as stakes Sept. 6.View the full article
    • Online where?  NZTAB turnover is definitely an investment for me. That's what pays for the racehorses. Unfortunately the finance director won't let me take those costs out of the household budget.
