A nice idea Brodster but Victoria harness is broke. just been propped by the Vic State government for 2 years very recently. HRV run tough/rough compared to HRNZ which do a better job IMO. They only ran the biggest feature there recently the Hunter Cup for tiny $142,000 for the winner. who was Swayzee. A very disappointing amount really ?just tiny $37k for 2nd. we just aren't capable of running the good races like NZ most of the time. Swayzee received $412,000 and then $540,000 for his 2 NZ Cup wins. maybe that's a wee bit too much? I guess it's the biggest race going there. The Miracle Mile next week that Swayzee races in is worth $550,000 for the winner . He got $60,000 for running 4th in it last year. Guess you should have some Million dollar races for the elite runners? but it's not the end of the world if we don't. they're (Standardbreds) only small fry compared to gallopers expenses and purchase prices and running costs. Considering that a 6 start 2 wins horse won $65,000 at far out as BIRCHIP in the Bush today, it just seems Slot races were a way we could FUND races better . For All classes . Just like the 6 start winner today. 'Wicked Confession' did win the race for James Herbertson today , and added $65k to his earnings. (which were $7000 before today) and yes too, unfortunately too much money going to Australia last few years.🙄 I don't like that either as is no help to your local owners pockets. so they should be Banned. Ban Aussie trained runners, and if they want to run in NZ features the Aussie horse would have to domicile in NZ with a NZ trainer to support the industry there, for Minimum 3 months or something like that to be eligible. there's Just too many raiders at present. (even though I like them lol😎) -
Ya what. Talking about getting someone to comment on how parading horses look not someone to implement the Messara report. None of the locals have proven to be any good at it. -
Why doesnt Harness Racing Victoria put in a couple of hundred thousand like HRNZ are doing? Slot races are fine Gammalite, but hRNZ can not afford to heavily subsidise these races! The other thing of major concern is the fact that the money is going to go to Ozzie probably, so thats a big win for NZ lol Victoria and Queensland are only being held together by state government and Seymour and there is no one in NZ that is going to be doing that here!! -
Absolutely correct . They're putting on the best races , Attracting the Best horses (and Horsepeople) ever seen on NZ shores, like LEAP TO FAME , Just Believe, Gus, Swayzee, Kingman , Arcee Phoenix, Marketplace , Merlin , Akuta, Republican Party and many more. and grass roots Golden Gaits and $5000 stallion classic, harness millions and more. Maidens at Reefton are even getting more than $6000 for their win's today in the Bush Sundays .💰👍 fabulous stuff. And the racing is getting Rave reviews around the planet . Aussies are flooding in as they can't match this brilliance . well we do in QLD through July and that's about it. 🙄 Well done Brodster. You've encouraged Entain to support the harness industry of NewZealand . A very worthwhile cause . and the racing has Never been better. The Slot Races at Cambridge with the user pay concept have been just sensational quality horses and racing (and horsemen too) for 4 years now. How good is HRNZ doing this for everyone involved in the industry in Australasia ? . just Gold Medal standard. CEO should be nominated for an OBE for brilliant service to the Sport. NZ harness racing through the ceiling with quality support of all their participants.

To be fair, you dont really need to be Einstein to see what is happening with HRNZ and their usage of the mega millions being received from Entain! The other thing is that the TAB is also operating in a way that is is also detrimental to the best business practices of increasing turnover! The truth of the matter is rather than just a hunch, it is more having the ability to judge whether they are actually making sound business decisions! The fact is that Galah and Brodie are prepared to speak up while others who think the same and say nothing is an indictment on the industry and its future prospects! More need to be speaking up now rather than let the once great harness industry self destruct by the decision makers not protecting what we have! More than happy to be totally wrong and time will tell!
