    • That's a bit rich coming from someone who starts a Topic with the intention of bagging a horse that has just picked up a couple of Group 3 placings in OZ. I'm not arrogant enough to tell Mark Walker one of NZ's most successful trainers that he should race his horse for $46k at Kangaroo Island.  Instead the Grp 3 OZ placing has added more residual value.  
    • I think gammas got it wrong with regards to some sporting organisations running on debt, many football clubs overseas are owned by tycoons and having a football club is just a plaything for them, most sporting organisation's have to profit or their gone, Rugby and league clubs in UK often fold and remember NZ is only a small place, Australia got rid of the Melbourne Rebels, Otago Rugby faced insolvency once, hard to believe, got bailed out but I honestly can't see how Auckland Harness can keep going, it's only a matter of time, Cambridge, don't know anything about them but if their was or is to be a bailout where is it coming from?...no good running to Winston, the galloping guys conned him with their AWT money, he gave money in good faith but all we seem to get is negativity, 30 mill, lot of money,  Sure Auckland were unfortunate that their great scheme came undone, happens just like many of the rogues in the property business, but shit happens.
    • May have been but was a long time ago, interesting place to gave a track, but must have gone to considerable lengths to get it made, can you recall Eric Percy's commentaries back in Nelson Blenheim circuit, or did they have someone else, Ian Chambers may have done it up there to, at some stage
    • When have you ever posted…. Sorry all, i was wrong with my comments i posted previously… You will be hunting a long time, as for me, i admit when wrong because i am not an arrogant arsehole.
    • Gamma, ask Andrew Neal what he thinks of David Branch blowing hundreds of thousands on “The Race” and putting the Cambridge harness racing in jeopardy? Going to be very interesting to see if HRNZ gets the approval to buy the land off Cambridge, they probably will though! The thing is it will only be putting a bandage over a festering wound unfortunately! It is good to have positivity Gamma about the future of harness racing in NZ, however the realism of the plight that the North Island is in, will play out in the future unfortunately.
