    • An embarrassment ?? people having fun with their sport. Why do you have to get involved as a Naysayer of the sport anyway ? go and do some knitting or something.  Best think ever is  that HRNZ LOOKING after the Grass roots people with SLOW horses,  so they can have fun . The GAlah was calling for HRNZ to look after the 'grass roots ' .You guys all saying the Elite getting looked after too well ??  🤣  here they are doing it. HRNZ looking after the slow ones , and then get an 'abortion of a comment 'like yours ,😄 that's pretty funny. Just up the road from me tonight a few horses are racing at Redcliffe . The slowest of the slow 🤣.  an extra meeting so they can have some fun. only $4000 races. winners get $2300 I think. 7 Winners getting a weeks wages . And NOBODY here is calling it an abortion or an Embarassment in the slightest  ( or are betting on them lol🤣 )    Racing QLD has put up some races for them to get a WINNER.  How IMPORTANT that is , to keep them happy.  Great to see HRNZ trying to do the same tomorrow in the Waikato 👍👍 it's how harness racing can Survive.
    • Studies comparing different track surfaces have shown: Dirt tracks tend to have higher EIPH incidence and severity. Synthetic tracks (like Polytrack or Tapeta) are associated with lower stress on limbs and reduced concussion, which may reduce internal pressures that contribute to EIPH. Turf tracks often fall somewhere in between.   Reducing the speed of the polys for racing as recommended should reduce that further.
    • And if revenue remains static?
    • i think what that press release is saying is entains original agreement with the government meant they expected to be receiving money from turnover generated on nz greyhounds. so ,when the governments ban on nz greyhound racing comes into effect,it means part of entains income will have been impacted,so they have said,hey we will sort that out with adjustments to  your share of the revenues generated from the australian greyhounds, through the nz tab.(maybe entain may have sued them about that bit?) but other parts of that press seem misleading a little,becuase the governmant already had an agreement with entain to do the geo blocking in return for an extra payment from entain of $100m to be split up amongst sports and racing and the government. That was already there before the greyhounds decision to close down. Is edward reneell and the greyhound people doing themselves any favours by attacking the government with statements that can be construed as a bit misleading.Interesting tactic.
    • I think you will find horses are lining up on the synthetic without even a canter once around on it.  I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise.  There seem to be a number of bleeders, not sure if that's commonplace on the other two synthetics.
