    • Well it's sustainable if they run for less money.  The races are worth $8000 each this week . just make them go 4 or 5 thousand them if you're short of money. surely you (HRNZ)  can come up with $45,000 to pay a whole race meeting anyway ? Tasmania can even do that lol 🤣.  that's just 2 Dunn horses training fees for the whole year lol.   shouldn't damage too much 😉😎 Thought you had funding from Entain?  . We do/are in Queensland. and can run 6 meetings a week for 450 horses in race training. Sponsored by Ladbrokes. (a subsidiary of Entain ) every horse gets a go. Just send the lower class horses around for less bucks then ?.   Mind you , you blokes had Leap To Fame and Don Hugo compete at Cambridge this year and still didn't get excited. I can understand that in a way, as is better for NZ harness if a local can Win your feature races.  But still they got to run the best 2 horses in the Southern Hemisphere there , so must be doing something right. and you still want it shut down . because the races have no third dividend ? what a Poor reason. take a trifecta then? . you need 3rd for that and trifecta's are paying well there still. Change your ways and support the sport. I guess it's like bashing my head into a wall like , trying to get Collingwood supporters to support Carlton. 😂😎 Never mind . I hope CAMBRIDGE continue to race for years to come , after 100 years of fine trotting tradition. That means nothing to you guys because there's no 3rd dividend 😅🤣  and is Not in the bloody South Island . 😂 go play marbles then.     
    • I actually had a laugh sometime about a comment our old friend from here TAB Forever made one day in regards to Forbury Park, and his words were about Forbury......frittered all their money away, now I know that in his strange perception of life anything out of Auckland don't matter but any money from Forbury would be the biggest insult to all Harness people in the South, many in the South don't give two hoots about Auckland, me included,  that money stays in the South, I'm not actually sure Forbury closing was entirely about money as such, there was also a desire to base more of the racing in the horse population areas, Southland, Canterbury, Alexandra  Park got themselves in this mess don't rely on the South to bail them out.   Might add the amount Forbury sold for is petty cash in relation to what Auckland are in it for, sort out their own mess.
    • Very innovative thinking. From what I have read from people posting who are linked to Avondale, they are too busy being bitter to ever be that clever
    • Disagree forget about the main stand its actually top class. Now if Avondale had a bit of nous they would have purchased Dargaville racecourse. Used the Avondale track as security, worked out a deal with the Dargaville Club, and Auckland Trotting club with the intention of staging combined gallops/harness meetings with also involvement of Whangarei Racing Club. The annual Agricultural Fieldays  https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/20000-people-attend-northland-field-days/XRTBL7GIMFHI3L6WH5BKD3UV2A/  are a major Northland event so that organisation would have needed to be on board.  Once all those organisations on board then the Northern Regional Council would get right behind the whole concept resulting in easier funding. A WIN WIN situation.
