Irrespective if Taupo today has been a success or not, the fields were ok,I think by locality it will more than likely do better than Ruakaka on Easter Monday, I just don't think northerners have the same connection with harness racing as in the South, turnovers suggest that. -

while on the promotion type thinking for that meeting. i think they need use the promotion of new zealands leading drivers being there. the point being,you've got a crowd ,many of who have probably never even heard of blair orange or zac butcher. what i would do is have hrnz fund the air fares of nz's leading driver,blair orange,new zealands leading woman driver sam ottley and new zealands leading junior wilson house. Then i would get 2 local classic car enthusiast ,with cars that can be driven with the top down. then i would have those drivers introduced,along with the leading north island drivers,zac butcher and leading north island junior harrison orange and leading new zealand female junior, crystal hackett and have them driven up and down the front straight.Maybe have a bit of music,say fly bye from blue playing over the speakers as they do that to add a bit of colour. Then i would have them go in front of the main stand and have a pre promoted as the biggest lolly scrambe in nz racing history,where they move around and throw lollys to the public. Amongst the lollies could be prizes of say 5 betting vouchers, inside a lolly papers.Get a nz candy company involved in providing the goodies and reward them with nameing the big races after their produucts. also i think the commentator could also be asked to highlight the horse who races on the day who has won the most money. For example romeo foxtrot could lead out the filed in his race and the commentator go through his record,highlighting how he has been such a good earner over a long period of time. Maybe the trainer and owners could get introduced as they lead him out in front of the field.the commentator could also,only pre race,give a mention of what those drivers are driving. I don't believe a whites mentioning of drivers nick names throughout races is helpful at all. People want him to commentate a race,which hes good at,not tell tehm what someones nick name is. anyway,the point is,these type of meeetings need to utilised to create that spark of interest in the sport and its people and horses,that seems to be totally under promoted on unique racing days,like taupo could become. -
