Gamma, not used to gallopers finishing down the track at all, as I do not invest on them! Too hard to follow form, so I dont touch them! You mention when they had 11 or 12 horses over the mile at Albion park, if you were out the back you had no chance! Rest my case, mile racing is not what harness should be running over! Horrible boring racing on all tracks in NZ. -
yes that is definitely a problem then. Mile racing is for just 9-10 horses. We lobbyed QLD racing to cut the maximum field size for mile racing to 10. they obliged and bought in that maximum limit of starters thankfully. that's 2 down from the 12 they were racing at a mile sometimes, up to about 5 years ago as the horse's running 11th and 12th at the quarter mile were NO Chance whatsoever , and so there was drivers not even 'having a go' whatsoever if caught in that position. A very bad look. and Something you see in NZ racing a lot still, but not in Australia as we have 'proper' field sizes where everyone gets a chance thankfully. Doesn't have to be. Gallopers are still attracting good betting , and the stayers are getting more rare. And the vast majority of runners , race at 1200m to 1400m . there is still a few good mile runners, but once you get 2000m and beyond the Horses get VERY Tired. the Margins Blow right out , and it's quite '0ff-putting to the punter to see the horse they invested on finish sometimes 1/2 furlong from the winner 😅😂😁 Brodie probably used to it over the years finishing way back, but smart Punters are CLOSER to the Winner in shorter races. and enjoy that feeling. Gallops and trots. Who wants to see their wager way down the track in a stayers race ? no one really. -

But the optimum field number for the wagering sweet spot is 11 -14 so mile racing goes totally against their desire to increase field size for max betting revenue. -
Reality is that those that support the banning of greyhound racing must also support the extinction of the greyhound breed from NZ forever! I understand that the dogs are being desexed now, and despite the fact that greyhounds make good pets, we are going to eventually see no greyhounds in our streets being walked! shame really.
-
then again the opposite also applies. if people say greyhound racing should continue here,then they should also be supporting greyhound racing and gambling on it, continuing in australia,not suggesting our government should ban betting on it. i'm sure the people who supported banning it here are consistent and want betting on it banned here and in australia as well.
