    • Potentially they could be, as a cheaper bred horse could be trained by  an owner/ trainer or someone who trains more on a part time basis. I appreciate that it is very expensive to have harness horses trained,  but I have serious misgivings that the HRNZ idea to pay out $60k stake money for  12 races today was a good idea! The amount paid out for the revenue from wagering just does not make sense with the way things are financially. The tote pools were absolutely pathetic, not sure about fixed turnover but I would imagine the Bookies wouldnt have done that well with many hotties mostly winning? They wouldve had just as many horses racing if the stakes were $25k or less and the $60k was just plain dumb! Good that some studs have dropped their stallions down to $5k and slightly cheaper to breed but then we all know  that the service fee is probably the cheap part in getting a race horse to the races! Personally believe that if an owner goes to a $5k stallion so it can race in a few years in todays races, then they are not overly intelligent! No way on earth these races are going to be in existence with a $60k stake when they are old enough to race! The industry just can not afford it and it is only the Entain cash splash that enabled it today! Just telling it the way it is, unless Brad Steele can come out and state that Brodie is not on the money?

The South African is on the 12-winner mark for the campaign and has no complaints about his start, but a combined 30 second and third place finishes so far have left him feeling like there was more in the locker. “I can’t complain, there’s been plenty of seconds and thirds that of course we’d love to turn into winners,”...View the full article
    • Frankie Lor Fu-chuen is looking to the addition of the hood to help his rising star Regal Gem as he stretches out to the mile for the first time in the Class Two Neptune Handicap (1,650m) at Happy Valley on Tuesday night. After suffering defeats in his first four Hong Kong starts, Regal Gem has proved a revelation since getting off the mark at Happy Valley in July over the 1,200m distance. Bumping into a runaway winner on reappearance this campaign, the Zoustar galloper has not looked back...View the full article
