Agree the HRNZ 24 April press release wasn't full of clarity, and had some worrying comments re looking for "uniform application of national racing and programming policies to ensure like-for-like racing." which would seem counter intuitive to the common sense generally discussed in this forum. But we have to be fair and await the opportunity they have in "...releasing our strategic plan in mid-May which underpins and supports the revamped calendar ". Plenty have used the phrase " Hope is not a strategy" over the years, but you never know, we could be pleasantly surprised! -
Dave di somma once did an interview with the canadian owner ,mike tanev and discussed the name aardie. i just watched it again to answer your question. He must have played a bit of baseball and his mates nicknamed him aardie because of his big nose. So aardie is the owners nickname. Anyway,there used to be a cartoon series which featured a character called aardie the aardvark. The aardvark is an actual animal with a tongue thats a foot long and obviously a big nose that eats termites and other insects and comes out at night and is from africa.They occasionally are shown on those widelife in africa shows. -

Well you could add on a couple of 00's to that now, at least, to her value. Picked up $70k in her 2 WA starts already. As for 'AARDIE's Express' she picked up $136k in her 2 races so far at Menangle. and running blistering 1.48.9 mile too. She could be worth anything ?. wonder what the Aardie stands for ? that they name them?. They're aardiely giving anything else a look in at the moment anyway 😁. -
Are you letting HRNZ leadership off the hook? No doubt just trying to be diplomatic i suppose as youv'e mentioned that before. But we shouldn't stop reminding ourselves,Phil holden,head of HRNZ, clearly stated in his press release that the new dates were a result of HRNZ "working in close partnership"..."Joint strategic plan"...this calendar and the upcoming strategic initiatives.. designed to breath fresh life and confidence into harness racing". Clearly HRNZ is promoting the extra dates in the north island at the expense of the south island, as being a joint decision. joint meaning they shared in the decision making for the extra meetings. so my point is the first thing that should be addressed is the expectation of common sense decision making by HRNZ. Entain you can understand where they are coming from. so when you say "they(HRNZ) have only 2 real weapons in their armoury",i think you need to include basic common sense decison making in there as well,really its the number 1 weapon. Obviously your 2 points are very important and from what you write,perhaps hrnz needs someone with your common sense involved in decision making..
