the failure of hrnz to prioritise and maximise harness racing exposure by utlilisling unhinged content is one of lifes mysteries. for some time i have thought,wouldn't it be great if bit of a yarn had a forum,linked to the harness forum,where the unhinged post race interviews could be clicked on and viewed. you could guarantee it would lead to a very significant increase in people using the chiefs website and would expose harness racing content to all users of this website,including more galloping followers viewing harness racing content.. thats what i would like to see,forget hrnz,they aren't up to the job ,get it on bit of a yarn. i have no idea whether that is practicle or how it could work but i can certainly see the benefits for the chief,unhinged and harness racing if that happened. -

thats very sad to hear. he seems a really nice bloke and a good commentator. He obviously did his homework on the likes of first starters breeding,often rattling off who they were related to,thereby giving recognition to the breeders,a very important industry sector,who nurture those families and never get the recognition they deserve.. he also always gave recognition to who the owners of the horses were that placed. Again,something which i'm sure people appreciated . i heard him say 2 or 3 weeks ago he was going to miss the trackside crew and wondered whether someihing was in the works. its surprising hrnz haven't had a story on it.i haven't read anything.They must know commentators are very well known people within the industry and there is a public interest in this story. The lack of hrnz or media coverage is poor.Harness followers shouldn't have to guess about something like that by reading the name of a race. i suppose the upcoming closure of the greyhounds was going to always impact commentator numbers. The likes of dan fogarty i think a very good up and coming commentator so you would think they will retain people like that. Just the way life works. but as i say,its very sad when you hear anyone lose a job,especially if they are good a it. i felt particularly sad when kevin payne and jason teaz lost their jobs. I really did believe j teaz,in particular had an empathy with how punters view a race and added colour. Thats 3 southern commentators who they have discarded now who all must feel how unfair it all played out. anyway,life aiin't always fair,but lets hope craig rails expertise is not lost to the industry
