    • No but we've had Open races that average very low ratings with stuff all starters.  Sure the stakes are higher so the losses are bigger but all the other variables are no different.
    • Think the horses are getting more refined like a thoroughbred young Brods, light carts, drivers more inclined to let horses run rather than sit up, and as you say, tracks are so much better
    • Talk about horses coming home in 26.2 final 400metres off the front at Alexandra Park last night!! I looked at the final 800m and finsl 200metres at both Addington and Alexandra Park and those times are amazing in msny of the races compared to say even last year! They are coming home last half in 54 seconds and final 400m in 26 and change! Does anyone know what the quickest last half and quarters in NZ ever recorded? Just unbelievable how quick some go now and dont get any money. What have they chucked on these tracks to have them now being so fast??L 
    • Great POSITIVVIDY   Gamma..... Just noticed BBaker trained another decent winner and see Waller got a few too. James Mac his normal couple of wins , ditto Micky Dee while DStackhouse an outstanding day . And MMoroney [RIP] no longer a trainer but his stable grabbed a couple of nice winners too. Kiwis certainly doing well in OZ !
    • We haven't had minimum stakes of $50,000 for open races for ten years.  People often complain about the state of racing in the CD, but it must be a great place to race a handy horse. I heard one of the presenters at Wanganui today commenting about several horses on a quick back up. Why wouldn't you? When you can race for $50,000 in a six horse field. There are a lot of benefits to be had by astute placement of a horse in the CD. As Curious mentioned, I have absolutely no idea how the stakes are funded. The turnovers surely aren't sufficient to fund the current stakes levels. It would be interesting to see some figures that break down where the funding comes from. It is probably only about 50% from turnover, virtually nothing from sponsorship, the rest from some mystery source. Basically just a donation from Entain for some benevolent reason.
