"Rising cost of racing" contradicts other comments seen about what it costs to race a horse in Australia. I suppose NZ should take what they can while they can. -

Officiated by 1/ST Racing under a new deal which was struck last year with the Maryland Racetrack Operating Authority, this year's 150th running of the GI Preakness Stakes is featured alongside 15 stakes, seven graded races, which will be worth $4.3 million in purse money on Friday, May 16 and Saturday, May 17 at Pimlico Race Course, the Stronach Group said via a Thursday release. The second oldest of the Triple Crown races, the Preakness will anchor a May 17 program of 10 stakes worth $3.25 million in purses including the GIII Dinner Party Stakes, the GIII Gallorette Stakes and GIII Maryland Sprint Stakes. Other supporting stakes on Preakness Day are the Chick Lang, the Sir Barton, the James Murphy, the Skipat and Jim McKay Turf Sprint. Returning the lineup will also be the GI UAE President Cup for 3-year-old Arabian horses, run at 1 1/16 miles. The 101st running of the GII George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan Stakes tops six stakes, three graded, worth $1.05 million in purses on Friday, May 16. The Black-Eyed Susan is joined by the GIII Pimlico Special Stakes and the GIII Miss Preakness Stakes. Also on the traditional Preakness Eve program are the Allaire du Pont Stakes, the Hilltop Stakes, and The Very One Stakes. At the conclusion of Preakness Day, Pimlico will officially close for renovations with the grandstand set to be demolished. The 151st running of the Preakness will take place at Laurel Park in 2026.

The thing with mile racing (or mile and a quarter) that nearly all the races are run over day in and day out in Aus and USA is that it's easier on the horses (and therefore the trainer and driver) Horses recover better and can race again the following week no trouble at all. Brodie rightly is always against it (short course racing) as a Punter. As rightly as he notices , it is TOO Hard to come from the back and win these races. They are hard to bet on. They are harder to win . The barrier draw is really determining your chances greatly. They can be very 'pedestrian' because of this too. and at our local course in Brisbane every race starts to look the same . same old same old. I wouldn't bet on it and love the sport , and the NZ harness racing is way better to watch . and with the 2600m Addington or 2700m Alex Park horses can come from the Back of the field and Win , so much better for the Punter, and exciting to watch too.
