      Because I like you guys and you like a punt more than enjoying the Big prize racing . here's one for you to admire.  In the photo above in previous post,  to the far right,  is a very nice NZ trotter (formally of McGowans about a year ago in NZ in the North ) that Keayang Zahara was flat out to get past here in the Group 1 Great Square trot in December. SUNSET HILL has had that close 2nd to 'Zahara' (by 2 metres in that photo above) and has Three Wins in Australia from his other 3 starts. winning each one  by 4 lengths or more each time and twice in 1.55 MR. tiz a very good trotter.  I think SUNSET HILL well worth a ticket or 2 in the Interdominion . and is currently 50-1  in the early markets, and is being kept in cottonwool ready to spring a surprise . ( For the place punter Brodster is 14-1 for the place) .   just beautiful to throw in a multi here and there. e.g a  Leap To Fame - Sunset Hill Interdominion double is 150-1 . Thank me later when we're all rich and collecting 😆😂💰👍

      yes , I guess NZ's best 2 trotters in Oscar B and Muscle Mountain had their Butts kicked in both the TAB trots to date , so if Marky and the Hope team  can't beat the Aussies no-one can .  Those 2 you mentioned weren't even part of the Aussie Trifecta's run in the Slot trot so far either. But should be this year (along with Gus)  NZ trotters have really fallen away badly recent times. Ran a gallant 2nd and 3rd in the rich Interdominion last Winter in Brisbane with Bet N Win 2nd and Oscar B 3rd, so there's always some hope if they come over. But Keayang Zahara will be here too in July for the Interdominion , so just might frighten you guys off again . She is certainly the Real Deal , and one of the most Pure trotters ever seen since Maori's Idol  (the best ever)  here's a photo to enjoy of the great mare winning at Albion Park late last year. Just a magnificent trotting machine.

      It must be exciting to have a blank canvas but, scary considering bridging finance until Avondale is sold.

      We get very little media from out of HRNZ apart from every now and then we get the CEO interviewed and telling us how positive things are! Within 2 years there is going to be a lot of media reports but for the wrong reasons! If we are wrong then why is the CEO not coming out and denying that things are dire?
