Why would I go "hunting" for those posts when there is @Newmarket , @JJ Flash , @Huey and @Comic Dog doing it for me? -
Reality is that HRNZ is not in any financial position to be bailing anyone out from what I have heard? Reserves they had have been spent and they are surviving off the Entain cash splash? If Brodie is wrong on this, I challenge anyone to come on BOAY and deny this! HRNZ really do need to come out and state what the plan is for harness racing now and in the future! -

By Jordyn Bublitz With two runners in the same race, Levin trainer Murray Gibbs is hopeful about his chances at Manawatu tonight. Stablemates Bet On Polly and Genuine Imitation both bring strong form-lines into Race 3, the Dunstan Horsefeeds Supports NI Breeders Mobile Pace (5.49pm). Bet On Polly, a five-year-old daughter of Betting Line, was outstanding at her most recent start at Palmerston North. Sent straight to the lead, she ran her rivals into the ground and dug deep late to score by half a neck in tough fashion. “I was very pleased with her. She’s a typical mare who has a lot of seasonal issues over the spring and summer, I think she’s on the other side of it now and she really showed us what she can do when she’s right the other night,” Gibbs says. Drawn perfectly in barrier one again, Gibbs is hoping history can repeat. “It is a step up in grade, but to her credit, when she has put it all together she runs reasonable times. So the step up shouldn’t be too bad hopefully.” While Bet On Polly brings experience and recent winning form, it is three-year-old filly Genuine Imitation who might just hold the key to the race. The daughter of Downbytheseaside has had just four career starts, but continues to impress. Last time out at the track she finished a strong second against more seasoned opposition. “She’s my little star, I’m over the moon with her. She was up against 7-win horses and was second-to rank outsider, and managed to run a 28 quarter into second place. I was very pleased with her. “I think she’s taken improvement from that run. She’s got gate speed like her stablemate, and in an ideal world I’d like to see her take the lead with Polly in the trail.” Tactically, Gibbs is not locked into one plan. “She’s a genuine and versatile filly. I think she’d be happy whether she sits parked or has a sit sprint.” So who does he think will come out on top today? “It’s very hard to pick, but just on upside and genuine ability I’d have to go for my wee filly.” “In 30 years of training I’ve never had a quinella, so that would be very nice if we could get that.” Both are at double figure odds, with the Nathan Purdon-trained Crippa Max a commanding favourite.

That's a bit rich coming from someone who starts a Topic with the intention of bagging a horse that has just picked up a couple of Group 3 placings in OZ. I'm not arrogant enough to tell Mark Walker one of NZ's most successful trainers that he should race his horse for $46k at Kangaroo Island. Instead the Grp 3 OZ placing has added more residual value. I then stick my neck out giving an opinion on what I think that residual value currently is knowing full well that I will be on the end of trolling and derision. I then post a brief rationale of how I determined that figure. No one else as done that one way or another just like I provided an opinion backed by analysis on her performances. One troll from another site @Comic Dog read my residual value comment and supposedly rang a couple of bloodstock valuers to try and score points. Probably because they are not as knowledgeable as they make out to be or too lazy to do some research. Mind you the same types think Jamie Richards is doing really well in Hong Kong when the statistics show otherwise. 4 seasons to get 100 winners and has always been in the bottom half of the trainers premiership. If you want to be in a misogynist echo chamber where only those that agree with each other are allowed to comment or where the site owner bans you for posting the very type of post you just did then go for it. -
I think gammas got it wrong with regards to some sporting organisations running on debt, many football clubs overseas are owned by tycoons and having a football club is just a plaything for them, most sporting organisation's have to profit or their gone, Rugby and league clubs in UK often fold and remember NZ is only a small place, Australia got rid of the Melbourne Rebels, Otago Rugby faced insolvency once, hard to believe, got bailed out but I honestly can't see how Auckland Harness can keep going, it's only a matter of time, Cambridge, don't know anything about them but if their was or is to be a bailout where is it coming from?...no good running to Winston, the galloping guys conned him with their AWT money, he gave money in good faith but all we seem to get is negativity, 30 mill, lot of money, Sure Auckland were unfortunate that their great scheme came undone, happens just like many of the rogues in the property business, but shit happens.
