Wrong. I also posted the interview with Chadwick. You can twist the facts if you wish. _________________ Peter Chadwick, Chairman of Stewards for HRV, explained the post-race scenario when stewards delayed the all-clear on the race. “Following the running of the race, the Shepparton Cup, stewards did delay all clear. The reason being that the driver of the first past the post David Moran, his right leg became detached from the sulky and appeared to be there for quite a significant point of time,” Chadwick said. “The film was quite evident that the foot did become detached and there was contact with the horse’s hind leg on a couple of occasions. We also believe Mr Moran’s foot stayed in that vicinity of the horse’s legs… “The stewards believed the rule 170 part five should be invoked and as such the horse was disqualified. There’s no part in that rule that actually says the horse can be relegated, it talks about the horse may be disqualified. -

16% is reasonably good however I would say the % was much greater on course at the KM. Why don't the girls start their own? Does your morality allow the use of the word Girls? Although you have proven to largely be a hypocrite on this subject. -

So hows that playing out for auckland harness racing? If you were to look a graph showing the increasing population growth over recent times in auckland and then look at a graph showing the declining number,within the auckland region, of racegoers,owners(thats not counting people like someone in a syndicate who owns a 2% share),trainers,breeders,etc you would see that the rate of increase in auckland population has similarities to the rate of decline in auckland harness. Is aucklands population growth the sole reason,obviously no,but is it a factor,very obviously yes. Urban sprawl,significantly increasing land values which have devoured areas once used for the training of harness racehorses and the caring of harness horses not being raced(e.g.bred/grazed) which has lead to it just being impractical,costly,time consuming to commute,etc. Put simply,its no longer practical for anyone to invest a million $ in a property just so they can pursue a hobby of training 3 horses.Nor can any young person go to a bank and say,give me the million i need to set up as a trainer and that i can show show you my books that show i have 10 horses in training. They would be laughed out of the bank. The same thing is currently happening in canterbury,just the dumbos haven't cottoned on to the future significance of its impacts on the sport. I've given my vision for auckland before and canterbury for that matter. Others have too. reality is,people first have to recognise an issue and its cause before they will take steps to make different plans,thats why you get so many negative comments that you refer to . Just people bashing there head against the wall on social media ,pointing out the obvious in the hope someone in power may change things.Thats not because someone wants someone to fial or an industry to fail,its the exact opposite but people just don't get that ,for some reason. -
