    • i've always thought the population being a driver of attendance,has long been proven to be a thing of the past and is now a mistaken belief based on factors no longer relevant The best way to assess whether you will get people to attend harness race meetings in populated areas is the level of horses/trainers/owners in that province.  Even if you go to addington on a run of the mill friday,how many people are there for a night out. Next to no one anymore. Its nearly always people with a connection to a horse or the owner of a horse who are the ones that attend. So forget the population thing. the only way population becomes a factor is when HRNZ choose to incentivise clubs to promote attendance and they don't do that do they. 
    • oh come on Mike, I think I saw 10 people watching Boris 🤪

    • also,yes a maiden should get the same penalty wherever they win. the way to cater for horses who win in lower stake non win races is simple.Just programme races which combine non win horses,horses whose only win was in a lower stake race,and horses who won at an easier venue and have proved uncompetitve in the 1 win grade. they haven't done it in the past and may not in the future,but theres always been that very simple way to maintain those type of horses and their connections participation, had they wanted. I don't think in the past the programmers have cared much for those type of people/ horses.
