southland had its first 2 year old race a couple of weeks ago and did get 9 starters. But if you had a look at that race,2/3rds of them were so green that not one canterbury trainer would have lined up any of them in a canterbury race. it was as much luck as anything that someone didn't hit the deck on the first bend in that race. all you had to do was look at the videos of the trial performances of the southland horses and you would have thought ,this race is going to be very messy.And so it proved. The canterbury horse who won by 8 lengths, could have won by 20 lengths. HRNZ thinks putting on a group 3 race worth $37,500 for 2 year olds who are as green as grass is a great idea. last year i referred to the leading points scorer in the canterbury country cups races. Tanzania was the leading points scorer,ran in nearly every country cup and ran many good placings,yet what he earnt in 1 year of running his guts out wasn't much more than what that 2 year old race winner in southland earnt in 1 start ,.against a field of horses who 3/4 wouldn't run a place in a weak manawatu maiden. thats the way hrnz,the media and the big players want it. thats why p cook suggested earlier there needed to be a break down of exactly who had bred mares this year, Because going by what hrnz and b reid said and more specifically what they didn't,there seems a strong chance the breeders who breed one or 2 may have declined again. -

it would be nice to see a break down of that 8% (lol LUCKY LUCKY #) 1307 people, into Trainers, Riders, Stable Hands, coalface workers, Owner$ etc.. -
What I will add with regards to paying of prize money....yes you got to have 2 year old and 3 year old races, and you got to have some big races for everyone to aspire too but paying 50000 as Wyndham do for half a dozen 2yos who probably are from Canterbury, then only paying 25 for the mature tradesman horses is like paying school leavers executive wages and executives school leavers wages, by tweaking the handicapping thus creating more depth will bolster the main races and those races with more depth do create better turnovers, unlike 5 or 6 fields with high stakes and a raging 1 50 favourite. -
Another off topic comment but last week both of the Cup races on the coast went over 10000 in the tote win pool, one other race from Westport went over 12, last night Addington and Auckland win pools were half that, I know fixed odds comes into it but it emphasizes how much people prefer those little country cups races at places people prefer watching and betting on.
