    • All the main races now are being won by a few very well run stables, and in a purely business sense these guys are onto it, especially up north, especially with the young races, who can blame them, dairy farming the same, many of the smaller operators are gone now but as it's customery there are highs and lows, often the bigger one is the harder to fall in a downturn,  always been like that, time will tell regarding harness, whatever it does it simply has to work within it's means, is the present situation sustainable, time will tell, no good worrying what will be will be.
    • "circle the wagons!!!"   and be damned! ps. think I might have to right the first post through AI, lol, what brutal polemical critique do I need to filter it through!!!  
    • The guy is a halfwit, in the same category as Wightman and Herlihy, 2 others that also think that the racing industry has regard for what they say, other than a small group of redneck followers buoying up their lame ego
    • Think we will find that in a couple of years $8k for s harness race will be s good stake! the owners and trainers are needing go make hay while they are getting the Entain cash splash. There would be very few races being run at the moment that are profitable from wagering and this is accentuated by the stifling of wagering by the Bookies!
    • The Hong Kong International Races are officially in the rear-view mirror, and now the focus switches to the coming months when the three-race Four-Year-Old Classic Series, Triple Crown and Hong Kong Speed Series all commence. Following Ka Ying Rising’s (NZ) (Shamexpress) HK$28 million Gr.1 LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) blitz, David Hayes was beaming at Sha Tin on Tuesday, indicating the world’s best sprinter will now take a short break before the HK$13 million Gr.1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m) – the first leg of the Hong Kong Speed Series – on 25 January.  “He’s pulled up really well. It was, probably visually, his best performance. I think his last two runs have been career peaks and let’s hope he keeps holding that form. He will go to Conghua now and have a nice month. He’ll be back in January,” Hayes said. Hayes is eager to point Public Attention (NZ) (Written Tycoon) towards the HK$13 million Hong Kong Classic Mile (1600m), the first leg of the Four-Year-Old Classic Series – on 1 February – which also comprises the HK$13 million Hong Kong Classic Cup (1800m) before concluding with the HK$26 million BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) on 22 March.  The 83-rated colt has raced twice in Hong Kong. He has come within a half-length of winning both times, including his narrow third placing last Sunday in Class 2 over 1400m. “I thought he ran really well. He just probably needs one more run at 1400 (metres). He is the stable’s premier Hong Kong Classic Mile horse,” Hayes said.   Before the city’s best returns next month, Wednesday’s nine-race fixture at Happy Valley sees Hong Kong International Sale graduate Super Unicorn (NZ) (Savabeel) go for a hat-trick of wins in the Class 3 Sea Eagle Handicap (1650m) under Andrea Atzeni. “He’s obviously improved. It’s done his confidence a lot of good getting his head in front a few starts ago. We thought going into his last run that he definitely had improved because his work at home was better going into the race. We knew we were up in class, but we weren’t overly surprised that he won the race,” Atzeni said.  View the full article
