A vague question there Gamma... Are you talking about Cardigan Bays driver Peter Wolfenden. Also won at Addington when Rondel [ trainer Peter Young] won one of the most sedate races ever ! -
5 x $8000 races that entertains hundreds of people , many people making some wages ,, making a living, the staff at the track, the broadcasters, the people working the Horses (they put in a huge effort) ? All for the price of a cheap new car . $40k . What a bargain . Plenty of happy people about. but you say ABORTION . eject this foetus . don't let them play . Embarrassment ??. Nays it's Shite. a proud supporter of the sport. You should join Carlton lol 🤣. some Embarassment then 🤣. If they can't afford $40k to pay a heap of owners and trainers and drivers at Waikato today , cause you have shite yourself , maybe drop to the prizemoney in half then ? Run the races for $4000 each instead of $8000 then. save you a few precious dollars? ya poor thing Some people pay for their entertainment . some don't want too. We ran 7 races for about a $30k total last night at Redcliffe. no-one Aborted. just had a Fun time. -
Good one Mikey . 😆 you won't be hitting the Trifecta in that one . We ran Australia's Greatest Race the Miracle Mile with 6 horses fields for decades. Was quite successful. Then transferring to Menangle , it is still run with Maximum 8 horse fields . It is still amazingly Successful People can still bet on it , and do. USA /Cananda have ONLY 8 horse field races one after another at all tracks . sometimes 15 races on the card. Plenty of Trifecta's , PICK 6, First 4 's and all sorts for you to hit. 💰 THIS IS the Way to do it . and Australia and NZ should follow that model. Aus getting closer all the time . EVERY runner gets a chance to Win . the Slot racing 10 starters is ok though. a Great innovation. But YES , indeed One day Match Racing MIght return. If LEAP TO FAME took on NZ's Single BEST horse somewhere it would even get on the NATIONAL NEWS. we havn't been on the news bulletins for over a decade now. BRING BACK the MATCH RAce !!!!!
-
2 horse racing may be interesting but 2 horse fields might be the new norm someday, and who's going to punt if they like Trifectas and First Four only lol. -
5 -6 horse fields are great . (currently we use 9 at most country meetings in QLD ) but with tough times and expenses approaching that number will drop . This is because Every runner gets a chance in the running. even if still back last at the quarter mile . (400m to run) we lobbyed 'Racing Queensland' hard in Queensland to cut the field size for Albion Park mile racing from 12 starters to 10. This gives all runners a FAIR GO and a CHANCE to win . starting 12 horses just meant the horses running 11th or 12th were NO HOPE even quarter mile out, as just too far off the leaders. That is NO GOOD for the Owner or the driver, or the horse , or the Punter. NO Good. Field sizes should be as small as possible at a meeting to Increase all those parties HAVING A WIN. Also as you mentioned there is the IMPORTANT 'fun' expect competing. That's why the SPORT Exists . It's not a Poker machine for gambling addicts 🤣😂 Love your picture posted by the way . Match races are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC . Zac would love It. Imagine the crowd Leap To Fame v Don Hugo would draw ? one on one. Magical moment it would be. Pure Steel and Satinover drew a crowd of 20 ,000 . they lined the whole course at Perth All the Way around. You don't know what great racing is? . is the NZ problem in general really. match racing would be Stunning !!! BUT 10 horses SLOT racing Brilliant too. !!!!! Drawing the Best horses on the planet. NZ Metropolitan Club and Albion Park and Menangle and Perth are instilling them each year for maximum effect. excellent Progress !!!💰 (15-16 horses standing starts is something from the Dark ages) here's a 2 horse race for you. listen to that crowd. Appreciation of the sport. unlike some.
