the thing i found strange about the moonlight blood price,was there you had that ben from betcha going on about the liability being $59,000 with several minutes to go and him saying it was going to end up the highest he had seen for a sunday. So what did the bookies do. They kept the price at an appealing level. So why didn't they turn the tap off by reducing the odds they were offering more,or increase the price of others a wee bit to take more money on those runners,thus mitigating their losses if moonlight blood won.. aren't bookies supposed to do that. Its like you get the impression the bookies are more into gambling than the gamblers. after all,if the bookies are losing like they seem to often,then doesn't that mean that the racemeetings end up running at a loss and that will impact money available for the indstry to fund things. i mean its nice to see punters get a win,but the level of that was more an own goal. -

Its kinda basic that when you are a licence holder or employee you have a 'built in and understood' responsibility not to bring the Industry or Company into dispute. Some may say its biting the hand that feeds you ! Correct ,the piece questioning the persons personal financial history is completely 'out of line ' ! Its disgusting ! Boards ,nowadays ,include folk with a versatile set of skills and governance and finance are definitely must haves. -
brodie,you seem to have a lot of faith in this new advisory board that mr peters put together. i read an article by mick guerin about that new board and guerin did his thing,rambled on how great the people on it are. thing is,as i pointed out at the time,when guerin kept saying things were going well at the atc,which he generally did just before each upcoming sales,he lost credibilty. Now you have to recognise thats just what he does. same a swhat hes doing when he wrote that article about the new advisory board. same type of sentiment we got form mr steele when he did a press release about that new advisory board.. Thing is,we've heard it all before so many times. Give me one good reason why this new group will identify things that others haven't in the past? sure they may have influence with peters,but having a group of people come along and say,hey your stuffing things up for the future,when people already can see that,well big deal.. 'm guessing you will find the majoirity of the recommendations they make will effect the bigger players in the harness industry and be more thouroughbred industry. applicable anyway. remember they have had these advisory boards in the past. Looking at the current HRNZ board,they seem to have people who we should have confidence in to oversee the making of the right decisions by hrnz employees around future sustainabilty. But heres the thing. those in charge should be fully aware people don't have confidence that the right decisions are being made. Mark jones letter is an illustration of that.So is the chatter you get on the social media sites i read. like this and the other channel. so theres a reason for that. many of the issues in harness racing are complex, but balance sheets/profit loss,financial sustainabilty aren't complex.

Entain holding government to ransom…they are stating they need to allow betting on Australian dogs….which they think will bring in $44m per year? Do you really see the Greens and the goody club allowing that? This is not going well for Entain… And just to add, I have not bet with tab or betcha all weekend, a first for me for a long while…. I’m gonna keep it up in protest and I hope others follow -
