You say,"HRNZ obviously wants the ATC to become strong again". Thats fair enough. We all want the ATC to become strong again. but wanting the ATC based at alexandra park and wanting the club to become strong again,seems like a contradiction in how to achieve that,to most except hrnz and the ATC. Its as simple as that. So,who really is it,that has the future best interests of northern harness racing at heart. also the argument that northern harness would not retain industries stakeholders if the atc moved from alexandra park. Where can you point to the evidence of that.I guess there would be a marginal impact but the level seems to be overstated. Then you have to factor in the overall impact of heavily subsidizing racing at aleaxandra park,has on the future rest of nz 's participation levels. i've wondered myself why they don't sell both cambridge and alexandra park and come up with a new complex somewhere not far from either.But i don't know the landscape up there ,but you would think maintaining 1 complex would be better than 2 and pooling the resources of 2 clubs would make both stronger. . personally i think cambridge racing lacks any variety and the over saturation of racing there leads to a boring presentation of the harness racing product. Its not the horses or the participants that are boring at cambridge,but the racing is. I personally don't believe the atc and cambridge combining to race at cambridge makes any sense either.They need a new complex with a grass track for summer racing as well as an all weather track. The stables and grandstand need to have one track on one side and the other track on the other side of it,in other words in the middle. -
I doubt there is a single punter in the world who is restricted or barred due to their loyalty LOL -
The hyprocracy is appalling! They advertise to “ Bet Responsibly”? And yet they allow these very poor punters to offload as much as they want and never have their bets restricted and are allowed to win tens of thousands of dollars!!! Yet other loyal punters are restricted to amounts of a few hundred on a good day!! You can see why the industry is in dire trouble when they are doing so much damage to racing! Flawed business plan is going to backfire big time in 2 years time, time punters were all treated equally. -

The big step up from Rating 65 to open company proved to be no obstacle on Friday for Queen Of Kings, who snatched a thrilling photo-finish victory in the Ashburton Raceway Your Gateway to Entertainment 1600. The five-year-old mare went into Friday’s race with only one previous win to her name in her 34-start career, but she had run strong-finishing placings in three of her four previous starts to give trainers Leonard and Lacy Stewart the confidence to raise the bar at Ashburton. Ridden by Gosen Jogoo, Queen Of Kings settled well back as Amiinit led the field up to the home turn. Queen Of Kings had only a couple of rivals behind her as she straightened for home, but Jogoo angled her into clear air down the outside of the track to launch her run. Queen Of Kings moved through her gears and ran on strongly out wide, joining up with Sacred Dream, Iffididit, Quintabelle and Harlech in a five-way battle to the finish. Less than a length separated that quintet at the line, with a last-minute lunge by Queen Of Kings carrying her to a nose victory over Sacred Dream. Iffididit was a half-head behind the first pair in third, with half a length back to Quintabelle in fourth and another nose to the fifth-placed Harlech. “That was a good win today,” Leonard Stewart said. “The horse has been racing consistently and running good races despite not quite winning. It was a step up in class today, but she handled it well. I’m really happy for ‘Gos’ too, who’s been a bit crook lately but gave the horse a great ride today. “We’ll just see how the horse comes through this before deciding what we do next. I thought a Good4 track might be a bit too firm for her today, but that ground had a bit of give in it and she handled it well.” Queen Of Kings began her career in the Cambridge stable of Tony Pike, for whom she recorded two third placings from five starts and banked just over $5000. Bought for $15,001 in a Gavelhouse.com auction in February 2024 and now raced by Ryan de Joux, Queen Of Kings has now had a total of 35 starts for two wins, 12 placings and $66,785 in stakes.
