    • Looks an amazing concept. Can'tbelieve that NZ has got such great people running the show , they came up with this idea to give the Grass Roots players a go at some Big cash? this is great how it's panned out.  The Very people (grass roots)  You and Brodie Call for all the time for the HRNZ to support instead of the Rich and famous at Auckland.? and yet you say it's a fail like every thing else?  . Well the Owners and Trainers racing on the day Won't agree with you either . Barely a Allstars, Cullen, Kentuckiana, TELFER , Dunn, Jones or Todd runner in sight. All your Grass Roots trainers Getting a BIG Go at Great money instead. Fantistico old mate.  Best of luck to Nigel with his Dunn runner though, and the many people Having a go at some $60,000 stakes. a very deserving man with his efforts for NZ harness racing. Well done Ashburton !! and well done HRNZ once again . for looking after Grass roots. ( the big guys all got to play Cup week and did well against the Aussies)  p.s Don't worry about the 4 horse field R1 so much . It's only One race cobber. You'll survive .😅  just congratulate the opportunity that Hanna, Negus, Twidle or Gameson on have to get a listed 3 yearold filly winner for themselves !! and their owners 🏆 this is just amazing 👍 and what you guys wanted not not long ago ?. Changed your mind it seems . Oh well. will be merry Christmas to those Ashburton anyway. BOAY will just have to 'weep' as usual 🤣    
    • New state of the art facilities that meet world standards are being built all the time in NZ for various sports and activities. It is the future. as simple as that, regardless of the mistakes of the past.
    • I realise that Cranbourne is the "go to" thoroughbred facility in Victoria now but, unlike the new envisioned state of the art facility in the Waikato, Cranbourne already existed as a racecourse so didn't have to be designed from the ground up. This is a huge undertaking being funded by disposing long established training and racing facilities.  Now we have a taste of what expert work looks like at various venues far and wide, it should take more than the words from a few suits for us all to aimlessly jump on board.  Proceed with caution.
    • There is going to be fallout from this development. Existing participants at all levels in the sport of racing will be alienated. The hope will be that new people take their place. Shades of what happened with Jaguar and Budweiser Lite? 
    • I guess the TAB has an advantage, in that so much has moved to online.  About 50 outlets left and 400 pubs and clubs, which are self-service. Whereas 1400 Lotto outlets So the tools for problem gambling can be used more effectively. As you say, shoulder tapping could be hazardous lol
