    • i don't mind a bit of sarcasm. . only thing is,you have said many times that you belive the first pararaph. you are consistent.Always,focusing on the desparate plight of harness racings rich and famous,worried about where they may get their next meal from if the north island stakes were to be cut, or hrnz was to say,no more 5 horse fields. You've got me feeling sorry for them as well. I will put in a kind word if is see them at the foodbank next week and will drop and email to brad steele and voice my support for more 3 horse fields and 50,000 series,whatever they call them.  theres my bit of sarcasm. i'll be honest like you gamma.  i don't give a second thought to just how tough it could be for harness racings  rich and famous. Why. Because they are rich and famous. i care far more about the battlers and the small timers who have also spent their lifetimes dedicated to the same industry and haven't the wealth or had success to any great level,but kept plugging away because of their love for the sport and the horse. yeah,great stuff ATC. eroding their asset base by half a million a month for the last couple of years is something to really applaud. Well done ATC. Oh and well done cambridge.they know how to dig themselves into a huge financial hole as well. Well done to them. And well done hrnz. You know how to pick the best run clubs to throw the industries financial resources at. Come in atc and cambridge. 
    • Lol, i have never mentioned that the  champions of North Island racing should piss off! Of course they should get accolades for what they have done for harness racing in the last 40 years or so!  Its not Hrnz’s fault that the ATC has stuffed the racing in Auckland who was trying to make millions for racing up North! Problem is that they made decisions that have now ensured that it is not financially viable to continue to race in Auckland unless there is a massive bail out, and not sure whether that is ever possible? HRNZ certainly have no ability to be able to bsil them out as their finances are going to be in dire straights in 2 years time! Would be great for someone from HRNZ, probably the CEO to actually come on BOAY and advise us what is going on with racing in the North island? The thing is they wont because they havent got an answer and yet they continue to make decisions that anyone with business acumen would not be making! To be running races at Invercargill today for $40k and having 6 horses and being a group 3 is just hard to justify? Once again Gamma, never put down the champions of harness in either the North and South, just pointing out that what is happening can not continue.  
    • You would haven ridden quite a few winners in your time Bill, from memory you did a few stints in the lucky country as well.
    • Hopefully the forecast improves, they've got quite a few wrong lately,  mate over the coast said they were on a rain watch, hardly got a drop.
    • I recon that one mid week winter meeting that not more that 20 people would have been in the public outside area,  drifting in and out as the day went on..  personally, I don't actually mind! small fields! way easier to find a winner!  small crowds!  ya!   for the  photographer! Wingatui is one of the worse on a bright sunny day! as the sun is shining straight into the camera lens! so with a modern camera!  a gray day is acceptable!
