Well we gather you don't support much at all. I see yet another drive by emoji from @JJ Flash . You'd be pleased to know @Huey that so far this season Mark Walker has trained the mosr individual 2yr old winners in Australia and NZ. -

So they haven't sold any yet as you inferred? -
well I think they do. All races are carded to be run Annually. So that's only once a year. We have 4 slot races in NZ . Once a year is not gunna hurt anyone , and made Cup week even better at Addington with the Ascent and the Velocity to make for a great racing product (Aus v NZ V your other slot holders , etc ) good bit of fun . It's a Sport . it's spose to be fun. Your big end owners like Mick Boots winning the Hunter Cup the other day with old Swayzee has over 300 horses now with over 30 trainers. He's looking out for a lot of people. Buyers like him help the breeders , etc. although he is starting to breed them himself now , as a new enterprise. We still have all our Derbies and Sires Stakes and that ( NZ and every State of Oz ) which has been the case for decades. The high end trainers set their horses for these races every year. Same at the Gallops. they have feature racing every month and people like Waller dominate with the most horses running and all millionaire owners. They Showcase the sport. We can't use Mo'Unga racing at Nelson Cup as a promotion can we ? But the 1000's going to Cambridge to see Leap To Fame , Keayang Zahara and others compete get to see the best going . Once a year . That's hardly an over-focus . And $200,000 to put it on by HRNZ ? they're in Dreamland and can't believe their good fortune . I guess you guys think someone else should get the $200,000 but ya just have to suck it up i'm afraid. The galloping clubs put on 100's of thousands💰 for Group racing every week , and you don't want a club like Cambridge to run 2 of the BEST races of the year . just once a year . for a $200,000 outlay . where they get the best horses like Leap To Fame (sensational 2025 win ) and Don Hugo last year who had won the 2 previous Interdominions, and Arcee Phoenix who went on to win the next Interdominion after winning at Cambridge in the TAB trot. Just don't have em' ya reckon ??that is best for NZ harness racing ? com'on old mate . it's not that bad .😉🏆 Here'sthe winners so far 1 Oz and 3 kiwi horses. All Aussie owned but we're the Lucky country. And support our races , and the Best in The WHole World Trainers. that we see are winning the Betcha race. I Hope THE JANITOR can join the list this year. Pete has him pinging nicely too . 2025[17] $1,000,000 Leap To Fame[18][19] Grant Dixon Grant Dixon 2:33.55 Chase A Dream Merlin 2024 $1,000,000 Merlin[20] Zachary Butcher Barry Purdon & Scott Phelan 2:35.10 Don't Stop Dreaming[21] Kango 2023[22] $1,000,000 Copy That[23] Blair Orange Ray Green[24] 2:36.3 Old Town Road Self Assured 2022[25] $862,500 Self Assured[26] Mark Purdon Mark Purdon & Hayden Cullen 2:37.5 Majestic Cruiser Spankem -
Well they’re selling Avondale to pay for this lunacy aren’t they? That’s what I got from watching. When the money runs out they will need something else to sell. Eventually they’ll run out of stuff to sell and these farmers can buy it back for a discount. -
But Waikato Racing with Te Rapa, Waipa and Cambridge have all agreed to progress with this including selling their assets when the time comes, to fund the new development
