    • 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.  
    • The last opportunity to nominate foals born in 2025 to the Breeders' Cup program for a one-time late nomination fee of $1,500 is Saturday, Feb. 28 at 11:59 p.m. ET. This $1,500 nomination entitles each foal with lifetime eligibility to the Breeders' Cup World Championships and the Breeders' Cup racing programs. All foals sired by a fully nominated North American Breeders' Cup stallion are eligible for nomination to the Breeders' Cup program in their year of birth and up to Feb. 28 of their yearling year. Nomination fees for 2025 foals not nominated to the Breeders' Cup program by Feb. 28 will be increased to $12,000 for horses sired by a Breeders' Cup-nominated stallion and to $18,000 for horses sired by a non-nominated stallion before July 15 of the horse's 2-year-old year. After July 15 of their 2-year-old year, racehorse nomination fees increase substantially. Breeders' Cup foal nominators will earn $10,000 for every victory in the worldwide Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're In, and every horse that starts in a Breeders' Cup World Championship race will earn a nominator award. The individual nominating the foal receives these nominator awards even though the horse may change hands throughout its racing career. Anyone that purchased a 2025 eligible foal that wasn't nominated prior to the Oct. 15 deadline can become the foal nominator of record for the horse's racing career. Over $1 million is paid out annually in foal nominator awards.
