    • See you in Nov 2025 Gamma.....but don't expect a walkover in the 3 yr old trot next year ! Mean't To Be is a leggy ,long striding fella who will get better. Plus there will be plenty of other opposition. He sold for $130k as a yearling ,his mother only raced a few times but won the NZ Trotting Derby v Boys by 5 lengths ! Mean't to be has a number of first time owners , apartment residents in the on-track complex at Alex Park ! Higher Power looked good but went amiss. And my syndicates have 3 x young trotters who already have won a race and the 2 yr old bonus which go with your first 2 yr old win .Its $8k for the Owners and $4k for breeders. There were 7 trotters chasing it at Ashburton in Maiden trot , 10 @ addigton and at night another 5  @ Cambridge in rain ! I shared your pain with Miki Bennett on Friday ,it looked home. Looking forward to seeing you Nov 2025. Tuesday ,Trot Cup.....Wednesday Gallops, Thursday , Ashburton Harness 14 races ,Friday Group 1 Trots 13 races , Saturday Gallops......get into training NOW !

    • There needs to be a strategic plan which sets out the pathway for the continuation of harness racing in all areas of nz which currently have harness racing.Manawatu included. if HRNZ have such a realistic future workable plan,then why aren't they promoting it. so one assumes they don't and that indicates a failure of leadership. things can't stay being managed  as they currently are. The kicking the can down the road approach until industry leadership have moved on to new jobs or roles in 3-5 years time is not a strategy. every month is a month closer to the time of reckoning that is approaching on the horizon as time moves closer to that point. the way i see it,harness racing is extremely susceptible to the domino effect. for example,manawatu participants have an impact on cambridges viability,if cambridge is impacted that impacts auckland or vice versa. In a lot of ways,the variable of which domino is the first to trigger the flow on effect, underlies the importance of each domino. to me it just comes down to industry leadership,or lack thereof depending on your view of things.
    • are there any precise handicaps in nz? if its not a precise handicap then is it a non-precise handicap?
