Personally I am not believing that Entain is this White Knight for harness racing in NZ! Some of their decision making has been very poor but then they are a ruthless gambling agency and we should be expecting that! There is no sense whatsoever in several of the decisions that they have made, but the TAB and their employees wont be criticising anything as they will be fearful for their jobs!! Not sure where the spokesman for Entain is hiding and it would make sense to Brodie to have appointed a mouthpiece for its NZ TAB! We are getting nothing out of anyone as to the reasons for many of their crazy actions but they don't care as they have control of the TAB in NZ for 25 YEARS!!!!! The new betting platform that is now coming out of AUSTRALIA has nothing at all about improving the service for NZ and it hasnt! It is all about taking it out of NZ and being run out of Australia for 25 YEARS! -

You are so drowning in the kool-aid! They had ample time AND money to get it right first time. The fact they didn't and the damage caused on Karaka Millions night has left a lot of doubt in a lot of people's mind. The actions since have done nothing to alleviate those concerns. Anyway this Topic is about mentoring Jockey's and you diverged. -

How has this affected you personally so deeply...... Many people disappointed in the performance of the new track ,but it should be able to be fixed...club members and those working on track especially disappointed ...and the spending of $55m of Clubs funds no laughing matter , nor the part -meeting abandonment . But the 'spin' to date has created a lot of positive 'noise' for the Industry. Gives other Clubs the chance to shine ,upgrade etc -

Most find change difficult , new ideas and attitude come hard.Often fear of failure will prevent actions and advancing new things . Things are not always as bad or as difficult as they seem. Of course one should endeavour to do things perfect from day 1 ..but often -

Pretty much sums up the situation .....well written indeed ! Currently Harness in the North looks in very bad shape , masked by the recent run of great Group racing and the GRINS races with big Aussie interest. Below that the lower class horses run for low stakes at Cambridge and ATC races are very hard to win with wide ratings bands and big gaps in ability. Hence horses are quickly sold once they reach their mark,costs appear to be higher in North too. Alarmingly too is the Clubs benefitting from these increased racing opportunities appear to be doing little to encourage extra horses to fill the fields ! They don't have the money to market themselves ,and seem reluctant to speculate in the hope of accumulating. Looks like its all up to Entain and they are calling the tunes ! Quite recently ATC were getting hammered by HRNZ cos of their lack performance....their standing in Christchurch was POOR . Less nights , more Thursdays , disadvantaged calendar...on the way out. Now ,thru Entain they are the great white hope. Can Harness overall be resuscitated by changes and more meetings......Harness in NZ despite its apparent success on a Sunday when betting competition restricted has overall been going backwards for years in betting figures. Entain is throwing a lot in Friday nights becoming bigger overall and ramping up interest in it . And putting more NZ Galloping on Sunday should increase their overall numbers on a Sunday. Harness will need to do their utmost to be noticed that day ...they have had pretty much a free ride on Sundays plus the TAB has had guaranteed First4's etc to increase Aussie interest. And the extra mid-week days will be hoping to keep the cash registers ticking away in the same way many greyhound venues have in recent times. Obviously with the greater population in North Entain hoping interest can be stimulated. Do people want to see Northern Harness crash and burn terminally.......overall would this be a good thing ? The Average age of top horseman would seem high ,the youngers ones could easily relocate.....Stonewall already has . The big studs in North ....business as usual. The shrinking pool of punters.....bet in South and Australia...business as usual. The staunch Northern fans will wake up one day , similar to many galloping areas in NZ , and ask 'what the hell happened there ?' ATC club members don't speak out and the clubs don't seem to work together. It all seems pretty obvious.
