Like most things In nzracing, a significant few have a huge influence over matters of programming whether good for the industry or not. -
Having given the whole subject some thought,i realised today i've reached the point where i've said what i think and that i'm ready to have a mindset of past caring about things like this anymore.Its all a bit like groundhog day.I think i should be spending our time and money focusing on something different. So this will be my last comment. -

I wouldn't necessarily say RECKLESS = DELIBERATE which I think you may be inferring. -

Just on this, in and around times of Covid the programming committees met on Zoom. This was hardly ideal. I remember a trainer representative telling me how difficult it was working through the races and meetings whilst juggling spreadsheets, and then the focus moving onto the next meeting before everyone had fully digested and discussed the previous. Does anyone know if these meetings are now in person in all regions? -
As i mentioned earlier,the original press release said you can get around the stallion requirement by meeting the criteria set for the trainers or owners. Its confusing given yearlings sold at the sales by the same sire,will sometimes be eligible for the bonuses and sometimes not. I've read the press release quite a few times and my take is its still going to benefit most the likes of the breckons, the purdons and the dunns most.They are the trainers who buy the most horses from the sales and syndicate them out. All they have to do is include 30% of their syndicate under the age of 40.Now that may be easier said than done,but you would think mr steele would have spoken to the likes of the breckons,as they are who he likes to take care of. That press release really is all about confusing people. I can't imagine they set out to do that,but heres an example of confusion. the press release says"s how can you tell if a horse at the sales is next gen eligible...Those horses will have a special sticker on them and it will be announced when they go through the sales ring." .....But then you have to ask yourself,HRNZ in the same press statement said all horses sold through the sales can be next gen eligible..it really just depends on what happens after the sales as far as who trains, or syndicating to owners of the right age. So in theory,given all horses could potentially be eligible, not sure why are they putting special stickers on some and not others.thats my reading of the press release anyway.
