    • Absolutely correct . They're putting on the best races , Attracting the Best horses (and Horsepeople)  ever seen on NZ shores, like LEAP TO FAME , Just Believe, Gus, Swayzee, Kingman , Arcee Phoenix,  Marketplace , Merlin , Akuta, Republican Party and many more.  and grass roots Golden Gaits and $5000 stallion classic, harness millions and more. Maidens at Reefton  are even getting more than $6000 for their win's today in the Bush Sundays .💰👍  fabulous stuff. And the racing is getting Rave reviews around the planet . Aussies are flooding in as they can't match this brilliance .  well we do in QLD through July and that's about it. 🙄 Well done Brodster. You've encouraged Entain to support the harness industry of NewZealand . A very worthwhile cause . and the racing has Never been better.  The Slot Races at Cambridge with the user pay concept have been just sensational quality horses and racing (and horsemen too)  for 4 years now.  How good is HRNZ doing this for everyone involved in the industry in Australasia ?  . just Gold Medal standard.  CEO should be nominated for an OBE for brilliant service to the Sport.  NZ harness racing through the ceiling with quality support of all their participants.     
    • To be fair, you dont really need to be Einstein to see what is happening with HRNZ and their usage of the mega millions being received from Entain! The other thing is that the TAB is also operating in a way that is is also detrimental to the best business practices of increasing turnover! The truth of the matter is rather than just a hunch, it is more having the ability to judge whether they are actually making sound business decisions! The fact is that Galah and Brodie are prepared to speak up while others who think the same and say nothing is an indictment on the industry and its future prospects! More need to be speaking up now rather than let the once great harness industry self destruct by the decision makers not protecting what we have! More than happy to be totally wrong and time will tell!
    • so your saying our opinions were "hunches". a hunch meaning "a guess based on intuition rather than fact". i agree with that. then you go on to say we "may very well be correct". i agree with that. But then you lose me when you  add words which infer anyone who makes predictions which turn out to be true,lack credibility.That makes no sense  
    • Looking to see if she was going to get another left hander on the flank.
    • Well unfortunately with the Cambridge Slot race thread , we can see there no fans of Slot racing at BOAY. even with some of the Best horses on the planet attending like past winners Copy That , Just Believe, Leap To Fame and potentially Keayang Zahara this year . Such a treat for All to see. The arguement being it's for Rich Folk, or a Poor betting race or a waste of money .   Just wanted to help you harness race loving BOAY folk with development of the sport, and inform that in about an hour , in VICTORIA country, 300kms from Melbourne at Birchip . they are running the first ever Victorian harness racing Slot race.  (The last race at Birchip today race 7) .  Victoria has more people than NZ and about the same size harness racing participation.  Stakemoney is very low these days with lots of participants and little betting revenue.  The BIRCHIP slot race involves 10 slots worth $10k each for 2 year minimum (so 20k for each Slot.)  to allow the chance of a battler actually earning a BIG race Win.   Plenty of local companies have bought slots and they are having a great day out ,  and the prize of the race is $125 k total   . $65,000 for the winner, $25,000 for 2nd etc.  Local horses from any Victorian stable as from December 1  , can go in . The favourite today is number One . a Horse with just 6 starts and 2 wins and $7000 earnings to date. No Mega Star by any stretch of the imagination. most of the runners are career earnings average of about 70k lifetime and are all battlers . I think they'll beat the number one , just with being more experienced. but you never know.  Someone will win $65,000 today in just one hit in an hours time 👍💰 . There you go !  . Some real grass roots participants enjoying a Slot race and getting a quid !! 💰 No . Victoria will not call it off because they have to put up $25,000 of the purse. and BOAY would cry 'waste of money' ( actually there's a sponsor helping out as well with that)    But wow . !!! how good . horses and people we never heard of EMBRACING the excellent Slot race Concept to help a struggling Industry with a 'User Pays Concept'. excellent stuff. I'm glad to see Someone enjoying their harness slots operating in the true Community manner . congratulations BIRCHIP with the 'Running of the Bulls'  More progress for the sport like NZ has done ,  with the Velocity and Ascent and TAB trot and Betcha race. ( unless you think it's a 'disgrace' and waste of money' that is ,lol 😉)
