    • Great photo, funny my uncle who passed on the racing bug to me( for which there's no cure)as a very young lad, an new slim,would recite that poem when we would leave for the races, had a bit of a twist in the lyrics though, his version at little more curse, ended with wat a .... of a day at the races. Oh the memories what a great crowd.
    • Here is one "Stop throwing good money after bad" The outlook is not great with ever decreasing fields and dropping turnovers and you can only reshuffle debt for so long before the bank steps in and makes the decisions for you.  Even if they do dig themselves out it would only be temporary as the continuing decline of the product there will finish them off eventually. I can not understand why they have not sold up and rebuilt a facility somewhere south of the Bombays. If they did that at the start of the crisis they would have a new property now but that money has gone and continues to go to the bank in the form of debt. Gamma give me some good news in the form of fields getting bigger and better, new trainers coming and not relocating or retiring, Access to Alexandra park with less traffic instead of being more difficult to get there discouraging trainers and casual attendance. Any good news to share except must save it for compassionate reasons.  
    • Talented three-year-old Ammirati (NZ) (Savabeel) was a notable absentee from Saturday’s Gr.2 Eagle Technology Avondale Guineas (2100m) acceptances, with trainer Stephen Marsh confirming the sale of the gelding to Hong Kong. A three-time winner from eight starts, the son of Savabeel had been an impressive last-start winner of the Listed Gingernuts Salver (2100m) at Ellerslie and a $10 chance for the Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) at the same venue in just over a fortnight. The gelding also boasts a dramatic victory in the Gr.3 Wellington Stakes (1600m) at Otaki in late November and an eye-catching fifth placing in the Gr. 2 Levin Classic (1400m) at Trentham for owners Hawridge Developments Ltd, Jamieson Park Ltd and Lib Petagna’s JML Bloodstock Ltd. A $450,000 yearling purchase by Bruce Perry Bloodstock from Waikato Stud’s 2023 Karaka draft, Ammirati is out of the winning Pins mare Happily. The versatile galloper is likely to join the stable of David Eustace in Hong Kong. View the full article
    • the point we often make gamma is HRNZ should have come up with a workable,financialy sustainable vision for the future of north island  and auckland harness racing.They have had years to do it now. people don't believe they have. yes hrnz are trying. The atc club were trying  when they did the apartment complexs. in the end what people care  about is whether policy  and decision making is good,bad or indifferent.Its the poor policy and decision making which is the reason for any criticism. no one understands why a business wouldn't want to restructure in a way that ensures their future.Thats what i think people struggle most with when it comes to hrnz policy towards the atc.
