    • Cambridge could chuck in a couple of hundred thousand dollars to increase the stake and entice more in?
    • Its all good then Gamma lol If you think HRNZ are doing an amazing job, would hate to see a bad job! Anyway, I hope you are correct and they are doing an amazing job! The thing is one of us is going to be right and I definitely hope it is you Gamma! Reality is that it wont be unless Boots and Seymour are prepared to throw in a lazy $100m each and every year going forward! I challenge someone to speak up in affirmative of how HRNZ is currently managing the finances, and why they believe it is possible to maintain the current stake money in 2 years time and grow the business!
    • After they sell the nest egg what do they do next time they run into trouble which is almost a certainty with the reduction in horses and trainers? How to stop the downward spiral to the bottom? They need punters but if the product is no good it is a vicious circle of death. My weekly spend on the North is 5% of what it used to be. You can tell by the exotic pools that many punters have abandoned the North island in droves. They used to get 20K quite regularly in the Alex Park trifecta pools on a Friday night and now they are generally well below 10K and sometimes below 2K in those 6 and seven horse fields and they are also comingled. At least the grass tracks are still worth playing into.
    • What do you do when you're in deep shite mate ? A/ you dig yourself out. A company worth over $3,000,000,000 has bailed out NZ harness nicely. Many owners and trainers still enjoying themselves. they Won't disappear at 2 years Brodster. Stop shitting yourself about it.  ATC are trying to sell assets to help with their debt.  IMO selling off Training facilities of 20 trainers and 200 horses is a MAJOR mistake, and I keep praying it doesn't happen. It will only speed up the demise , like selling the Takanini training track of the thoroughbred Trainers that time by the Auckland Racing Club. just ruins it.  IS Not HRNZ job to treat the public . They provide racing for the participants . and Rules for the hands on Participants too. I could go in to more detail , but you hate them already. Your fellow kiwi's putting on a sport. HRNZ are doing an amazing job of it. So much so the Aussies are back in force to capitalize on this amazing good fortune for them . The clubs put on the facility for the public . As Cambridge do each year annually for 1000's of your NZ People (public to enjoy ) along with music and that . bloody legends doing that. where's the contempt you talk about? that's just BS Brodie in your head.  Did I give you THE JANITOR tip mate ??  😉 watch out for stablemate GUS  too. in the TAB Slot trot. Might as well make Cambridge Part of the Queensland racing circuit ? the way Leap To Fame kicked in last year.   
    • Ohope Wins (NZ) (Ocean Park), the impressive winner of last Saturday’s Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Ellerslie for trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott, is set to continue her racing career in Australia and will transfer to the stable of champion trainer Chris Waller in Sydney next week. The daughter of Ocean Park is raced by Yulong Investments and her connections have opted to forgo the Gr.1 World Pool New Zealand Derby (2400m), for which she was $1.70 favourite, to instead target the Gr.1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill next month and the Gr.1 Australian Oaks (2400m) at Randwick. Ohope Wins has been installed a $3 favourite for both Sydney targets, while her ownership-mate and Oaks runner-up Autumn Glory, is now the $3.50 favourite for the New Zealand Derby, despite needing to be late-nominated for the race on March 7.
