Hey Brodie they do look at this site after all lol. Website updates - fixed odds and Harness 5000 Fixed odds prices have been temporarily removed from the HRNZ website due to a technical issue impacting functionality. Work is underway to make the necessary improvements and fixed odds are expected to return to the website once a solution is implemented. The fixed odds are still available on tab.co.nz. -

When Greg Oconnor asked Peden about recent turnovers last night on the box seat Peden reacted like a man who had just opened a power bill he wasn't expecting. Out came the familiar “economic downward pressure” explanation for the disappointing numbers. I suspect most punters were behaving much like I was. The bad turnover was in fact the result of smaller fields than usual probably due to bad programming, so I turned over barely a quarter of what I normally would over that period. -
well another damning report from the Galah , to go along with Brodie's constant critical analysis of HRNZ, Entain, ATC and North Island racing , and feature racing and anything else that encompasses Nz Harness racing, including the Programmer and the Starter . you Might as well throw the Stipes on the bon-fire as well and the North Island Junior drivers. 😂 . nobody can do anything properly in NZ according to you 2 blokes ?? 🤣 Those juniors (except Delaney who doesn't drive much) seem ok in their records , and accusing them of not thinking of safety is a bit harsh. I'm sure they're better than that? and Coppins just won 5 races the first day at Hawera. Don't see you guys congratulating that fine effort ?lol. 🤭 probably Not good enough 😉 But on a more reflective note , since you feel sorry for BECKER getting the run around and nearly hitting the grass twice in one race, here's a funny 'Bit of a Yarn' just for you. 40 years ago almost to the day Feb 86' , the original BECKER was exported to Aus as a maiden from the North island. The purchaser hoping the horse by sire 'Lonero' might have a fraction of the ability of the Australian Derby winner that year in My Lightning Blue (probably the only good horse by Lonero ever😎 , and went on and won the NZ Cup) But BECKER was one of those horses that couldn't win , even though we were running slow 2.04-2.08 mile rates those days , and had about 30 seconds in race career from memory and only 1 or 2 wins. He was backed off the map at his first start in Aus after arriving ( to win about 40k 💰 I think it was from the Bookies. I remember helping get some of it on ) at some country obscure maiden race. but the Bugger Becker galloped at the start and lost about 40m 🙄, then battled back into it and ran 2nd. No collect lol. A real flopparooney was the old BECKER. they never recovered the purchase price on that horse. He was a bad buy. A real slow one lol. just the sort you could send to Hawera ? to flop around lol . 40 years on . a 'Becker' memory revived lol 😂 -

It is interesting to note the stewards for Hawera were K Coppins (Chairman), S Mulcay, C Lomey, B Bateup -
I'd say why not put the 500k towards fixing a track or raising minimum industry stakes. Even if this worked, keeping 2 or 3 good 4yos racing in the country, ain't going to improve wagering revenue by a single $1.
