Strange wasn't it. The HRNZ website has a story headlined "new legislation secures harness racings future" and has such positive comments from mr steele about how things are going.e.g."enables the industry to keep building on recent growth" Then you have the complete contrast of sentiment being expressed by Mark jones ,in the letter he wrote to all invoved in the industry. I think it highlights what many of us have been saying. Mr steele comes across as someone who is a clever saleman. the catch is,he see's a need for his focus to be, selling to people within harness racing,the perception that he and his adminisitration are doing a good job and thigs are heading in a positive direction. reality is,If things are positive, as he continually says,then he wouldn't need to keep reinforcing his positive sales pitch. Its like hes working on the idea that the more you say something ,the more people will believe it to be true...But that only works if you have an uninformed audience. People in the industry can see the falling particpation levels,breeding numbers,losses generated from so many meetings and they say,whats this bloke from australia on about.. Mark jones appears to be a realist with common sense and good instincts. those are the traits the industry needs most from the administrators leading the industry. i still think the biggest issue is leadership don't have a vision of a sustainable future and people are pulling in different directions. Theres no common bond to make people get on board and pull in the same dircetion. If ever you want an example of failed leadership,just look at what they are saying,or not saying about the auckland issue. And i fully agree with brodie when he says,the media and presenters who continue to push auckland continuing at alexandra park are losing credibilty. Having said all that,when it comes to mr jones criticism of the upcoming changes to the handicapping system. i think people should read for themselves the horse utilisation reports which were prepared by a committee chaired by john mooney. I read it in full.i thought so much of what was in there seemed to make perfect sense to me. Actually i was surprised they didn't make changes to the scratching penalties like they proposed. If ever there was a joke of a system its the scratching penalties. I've heard what some trainers have said about that,no one takes scratching penalties seriously. The only people who it penalises are the ones who play by the rule. -
