It took a bit of extracting,but youv'e given me the answer that i was sure was there. that is,methven went out of their way to assist the kaikoura club run a successful meeting, by attracting greater numbers. In other words,methven always want to support those that support them,by paying good stakes, but after discussions with hrnz they did what they did. so,to me,thats yet another example of HRNZ pushing an agenda,in this case favoring kaikoura,to the detriment of the connections of horses that raced at the methven meeting. I mean,can't people tell who says they are on the their side,when in reality their actions say otherwise. -
The NZTR Board has today confirmed their support for the continuation of Jumps racing as part of the racing programme No images? Click here NZTR Board Support Continuation of Jumps Racing The New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) Board has today confirmed their support for the continuation of Jumps racing as part of the racing programme. This decision follows a process announced in September that included the appointment of a Jumps Racing Review Panel. The panel resolved to recommend that Jumps racing in New Zealand should continue, but that continuation will need to be supported by several initiatives to ensure the success of the industry, both in the short and long term. "The panel have taken a comprehensive review of Jumps racing in NZ and whilst the recommendation is for the continuation it is not for jumps racing to continue in its current state, changes do need to be made to give it the best chance to thrive,” said Darin Balcombe, NZTR COO and Jumps Racing Review Panel Chair. The panel provided 19 individual recommendations with priorities that include: · Supporting, mentoring and attracting Jumps jockeys · Reviewing and optimising the Jumps racing calendar · Enhancing race programming for consistency and competition · Ensuring fit-for-purpose infrastructure and rules The panel has also recommended NZTR develop key performance indicators to evaluate Jumps racing’s performance annually and a comprehensive strategic review every three years to ensure objectives and performance are aligned. NZTR Chairman Russell Warwick applauded the panel for their hard work and collaboration throughout the review process. “I would like to thank the panel and Alan Galbraith KC for their support throughout this process. Many factors were taken into consideration, and we believe implementing the panel’s recommendations will give Jumps racing the best opportunity to perform at a high-level long term,” he said “This decision gives the industry the opportunity to reenergize Jumps racing and will make winter racing an exciting prospect into the future.” The full Jumps Racing Review Panel Recommendations Report can be found using the link below. NZTR’s implementation process will include creating a framework and outlining KPIs to measure Jumps racing’s performance annually, to be delivered prior to 31 March 2025.

i agree. the way i see it,theres only one way to interpret HRNZ's focus. that is,lets invest industry funds in rewarding the high achievers as they are the showcase of the industry and greater participation will follow. and lets divert funds from the areas that generate a profit and use them to subsidise the areas that run at a loss to ensure they keep going. To me thats HRNZ's strategy going forward under current and recent past leadership. I've previously discussed all the flaws in their strategy. No point going over them again as it would take too long. But like i said recently,in my opinion i think the industry have leadership who simply, while well meaning,are just not very clever. And i know,a lot of people agree with me. You know,you can tell people that you are there to promote grass roots participation and that decisions will be made to benefit the vast majority.But if your actions don't match your words,then its inevitable you will no longer be believed.Trust,respect,confidence in the words spoken evaporates. People just start thinking,do they really believe what they are saying,do they really think i'm that stupid,or,like me say, maybe they are just not very clever. as forrest gumps mother used to say,stupid is as stupid does.
