    • The Entain group use their sub- branch  LADBROKES to run in partnership with Queensland harness. (and SA and probably others) Harness racing would of dropped off the map without their support. They have only 2 nights of Trotting per year put on National TV on the Free to air 24 hour per day racing channel. (Vic Cup and Hunter Cup nights) That is how SMALL it has become. Almost Non-existant to the home TV punter. trotting runs at a huge loss revenue wise.  I'm sure it would be the same in NZ.  Brodie is blaming Entain for the demise of the sport , when in fact they are rolling the Last Dice to Save it.  BOAY has that many threads with everyone tearing the sport to Piece's that it's not hard to see the REAL Reasons the Sport is collapsing in NZ  . Bean counters galore calling out the anything from small fields to Feature races they still put on as a 'waste of money'  'no interest tin them as can't bet' and endless criticism. The TAB branches closing everywhere is a Main contributing factor. I used to go down to my local branches all the time and place bets. (and chat with mates there)  they closed the branches so past 3 years it's just on-line. ALL the betting companies WANT you on-line SO THEY CAN TRACK your activity. Seems logical in these days and times. The TAB taking your Huge ANONymous Bets each week are RELIC of the PAST Brodster.  I know you would like to go back to those 'good old days' of doing that . BUT you can't . you're 'not on the Money' anymore old mate. TABman  has it worked out better 😋😁😉 Meanwhile HRNZ and Racing QLD are still putting on as Many Big (and small regular) races , as Humanly possible,  to support the great harness folk who still partake as participants in the industry. good on em'!!💰 .    
    • The battle lines for the most eagerly awaited Triple Crown showdown in the last few years were set June 2 as a field of eight was announced for the $2 million Belmont Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course. View the full article
    • They despise the grassroots thats why, the trainer who picks up a cheap one and has a go. It's all being designed to exclude , most are too dumb to see it.
