    • Be a bit sad if Leap To Fame didn't turn up because trainer/ driver was worried he might get beat, maybe Mark Purdon might withdraw Akuta as it more than likely he won't win, no one is ever going to win everytime and there will be others not as good as either who will turn up, so what's the problem, seems some just don't want to get beat.
    • they changed the date for a reason. So more people could race their horse as a actual 2 yearold . Past its 2 year foaling date.  I find it very Logical , that the effect of the changed date is EXTREMELY Good. the Sires Stakes can now run at the Cup meeting instead of Late Autumn for starters.  It's only a few that can blossom in that late Autumn . Now many can blossom late Spring and into the Summer.  The Derby colts are nearly 4 now , when they compete in the NZ Derby . Been some great racing with Fully developed horses that don't have to be rushed anymore. Is so LOGICAL it Slaps you in the Face.  Marketplace and Got the Choc's and Rubira are just about on their 4th Prep already ( as late 3 yearolds) this is Marvellous for their development and Way way way better than the poor 2 year and 3 year olds of previous seasons had to cope with. Summer Racing is best for em' . but you don't seem to understand that. Maybe not logical enough lol.  When you've got 6 MORE months of racing time for your 2 year-old (than previous to the Season date change)  OF COURSE you're gunna have more opportunity to win a race with near a full grown horse. TOTAL LOGIC my friend. 
    • It's only NOT "abuse" and "cheating" based on flawed definitions. You asked and that's my opinion.
    • Well you just have to race who turns up. Just because it's not 14 doesn't mean the end of the world. It does for Punters like Brodster and NoworNever. but to HRNZ it doesn't . ( BTW Gaza strip is more like the end of the world IMO lol 😉) WHY should Competitors get LESS Prizemoney for feature races , just because the number of starters you want doesn't turn up ?? that doesn't make sense Mr Galah. last week the there was just 5 starters (in a South Island race perish the thought ) that was the feature races of the day and named the Southern Trotting Oaks . worth about 22k the winner picked up near 14k.  So you're saying Don't have the race ? because of number of starters . ? what about the connections of the winner ? A John Dunn filly who the owners were probably delighted to win a feature Oaks. ? If you don't have these races , they will CEASE to Exist. a sad day. keeping the 2 and 3 year olds 'motivated ' ( you know what I mean the owners and trainers that SET HORSES for these races these days ) is Important. 
    • One wonders what the betting figures will be......a smart business plan when looking at a business model would always cut money losing ventures and focus on what makes money, HRNZ, they do the opposite.
