Don't worry. Exactly the same applies to NZTR, so we'll all be at the same soup kitchen. -
Lol, Galah mustve been a politician at some stage? Really is that the best HRNZ can do, just a nothing interview ? Surely he should be able say how many mares had been bred so far without this other BS? Mentioned Taupo racing as a positive, but didnt mention the elephants in the room! said more punters effectively but the cost of living is affecting turnover?? Mr Steele it is not the cost of living that is affecting turnover any more than other times!! You allow the TAB Bookies to stop punters from wagering, you have allowed Entain/ TAB to make poor decisions in regards to several wagering decisions and Trackside production and yet you come out with this?? If they wanted turnover to be increased then it would be exceptionslly easy to do but they would rather restrict it and not encourage wagering! HRNZ and harness participants are going to get a rude awakening shortly, as too many in the industry are scared to speak up as they will be shown the door. -
Was actually talking about HRNZ rather than Entain, but Entain only wanted the TAB for sports and online gambling and we can see that clearly. Not talking about HRNZ back in their hey day, it is the current way that they have been operating for the last decade! Yes harness racing is a great product not denying that, unfortunately the best of it bas been and dramatic change is close. Gamma, in the next year or so, I would be betting my last cent that you will be coming on BOAY and saying that yes Brodie you were totally on the money. No way on earth can a business be run the way it has been over the past few years and succeed!!!!! I repeat that the only way the can pay the current level of stakes is thru the hundreds of millions that they have been gifted, when that dries up???????

Winner of the 2024 GI Churchill Downs Stakes and now a young stallion at Three Chimneys, Gun Pilot (Gun Runner–Bush Pilot, by Smart Strike) was recently represented by his first foal, a colt. Bred by Tommy Wente's St. Simon Place in Lexington, the bay colt is out of the winning mare Just Life (Honor Code), a half-sister to GSP Electability (Quality Road) from the extended family of GISW and sire Lion Heart. “He's a big colt with a lot of bone,” said Wente of the new arrival. “The first thing that struck me was how much he looked like his sire–big and strong. I bred four mares to him last year, and when they come out looking like this, you've got to go back.” A millionaire and Three Chimneys homebred, Gun Pilot won five races and placed in another five, including the GI Forego Stakes. He will stand the 2026 season at Three Chimneys for $12,500. “Gun Pilot is very much like Gun Runner–scopey, strong, and a great mover but with a bit more size and substance than his sire,” said Three Chimneys Director of Stallion Nominations Rebecca Nicholson. “Progeny by sons of Gun Runner have been in high demand, and with Gun Pilot entering his second year at stud, he represents a great opportunity for breeders to access this highly sought-after sire line.” The post First Foal is a Colt for Grade I Winner Gun Pilot appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

the NZ Government probably only has 9 months to go?😉 . with election called NOV by Luxon. so that is more the problem for them . The Australian opposition Coalition party just imploded the past 2 weeks with Nationals and Liberals ripping themselves apart and not getting on at all. with each other or internally . they have been swept aside since nearly taking the country to ruin in Covid and being absolute landslide polled against the past 2 elections 2022 and last May. . NZ might do better too? , and be looking for a 'Non - Coalition' government to get back on track ?. Might even help harness racing get back on track if getting so dire there that no one is competing much anymore ? . Labor government just bailed Victoria out of the 'hole' it was in . (in the short term anyway) maybe they can help patch up NZ harness a bit. Help with the ATC debt and that ? ENTAIN are a hugely successful business Brodie. HRNZ have been hugely successful for near/over a century too, and produced a world class product. That the Aussies are currently plundering the past 3 years as your Top Combatants (like Mark Purdon and Barry Purdon) near retirement and their numbers dwindle.
