A service to celebrate the life of Classic-winning trainer Ian Balding will be held on Sunday, April 19, at Park House Stables, Kingsclere. Balding, who died on January 2 at the age of 87, made an indelible impression on the turf, both as the trainer of a swathe of top-class horses including Mill Reef, and as a mentor to many young people who subsequently graduated to success in the sport. His son Andrew, now one of Britain's leading trainers, succeeded him at the helm of Kingsclere in 2002 and has been responsible for two of the last six 2,000 Guineas winners in Kameko and Chaldean. Anyone wishing to receive further details regarding the Celebration of Life is asked to email office@kingsclere.com. The post Ian Balding: A Celebration of Life appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions. View the full article -
Lol Galah I was going for point out the same thing but would just be a continuation of the way we see things! The reality is that you would have to be a wee bit naive if you think that going go a cheap stallion was the way to go as it cheapens what your yearling is going to be worth at yearling sales! Anyway we seem to be wasting our time commenting on how things are going to be when Entain pulls the plug. If people believe that things are going to be positive for the industry going forward, then good on them for holding that belief. Very disappointing that Brad Steele, Matt Peden or some one from Entain or other HRNZ spokesperson are not prepared to come on here and give us some confidence !! Anyway more beneficial for Brodie to do the study for Reefton on Sunday. -
You are correct Peter in regards to horse trainers etc. being on HRNZ, Robert Dunn I believe was on the ATC commitee. Harness racing has significantly declined from where it once was when it was affirdable to have a horse trained without breaking the Bank! Harness racing was in the crap before Entain came along with their cash for 50% of the profits for 25 years we are aware of that. I maintain that the money given to HRNZ so far has been mismanaged and when the guaranteed money is stopped by Entain it will be shown as such. No offence Gamma, but the money being used by HRNZ now to heavily subsidise racing is not going to be beneficial to racing in another 2 years. To say that the racing is great now and good for racing folk now due to Entain is very narrow sighted, as anyone with a semblance of business can see the writing on the wall! Anyway always good to debate things but unfortunately we are not hearing anything from the ones who are making the financial decisions? What I would guarantee is that they wont be in their current positions when the shite hits the fan and I am surprised that Winston has not appointed someone to try and sort it out? Anyway you are a great supporter of the current regime and what they are doing and that is your perogative. Brodie would rather express his opinion and I know it is supported by most, but just dont want to speak up and get offside with some!

Gama, I suspect we are talking at cross purposes. There are the odd horse trainers who have served at HRNZ and the ATC, however I am talking about their skills as trainers, not administrators. How many winners have Brad Steele or Matt Peden trained? There are now no license holders on the HRNZ Board. -
