They take a few thousand per year to pay very mild stakemoney, to Good, Hard working New Zealanders. Begrudging anyone a GO in their Sport and/or means of livelihood is pretty poor form imo. and should be Everyones opinion who loves the sport. they Should be encouraging and mentoring and rewarding. to keep the sport alive . Once it's gone (like Hutt and Forbury and Gold Coast ) it's gone. Gone. makes no difference to you Severe critics in the South Island , who seem to wish it to happen with all the hate of North Island trotting'. a shame it came to that. Good on the trainers going around today , and their young drivers. the future of the sport. Grizzling over dollars ? gotta spend it on something. Buy a Standardbred yearling boys and SUPPORT the Sport . Victoria operates at operating debt each year. -24 mill last year. approaching around 80 mill total I believe. But HRV still supports the participants across the state with races , nearly every day. thousands of peoples work depends on it. adjustments are made each year You blokes are the opposite? . just worried because of the odd 6 horse field . lol. 😂 what a Stupid thing to worry about really , in these days and times when a RESULT is very helpful to cover costs. I TELL you again . The small fields are good for owners, trainers, drivers and Punters as you can GET RESULTS consistently . enough to pay the way of the Horses in training (which is expensive these days) and the winners pays the same as it would in a 10 horse field generally for punters, as the Pool is more concentrated on less horses, which elevates the price of the winner to a better level. I'm not gunna try and explain the mathematics of that as is probably not in the Capability of most ( That don't recognize the laws of averages and numbers as the reason for success rates ) six horse fields should be the Norm to compete with the law of averages. the only persons that todays racing at Waikato doesn't suit, is the North Island haters you see on NZ harness forums. seems an Embarrassment to your nation and to the once great Sport of Harness racing. -

by Diana Li McPherson I have read with great interest the different Letters to the Editor people have sent in celebrating the life and love of Stuart Angus. Since my husband Steve McPherson and I loved and admired Stu, I felt compelled to share some thoughts on Stuart's extraordinary life. My husband met Stu several years ago at Saratoga while “Stuey” worked for Taylor Made at the Fasig-Tipton Sale. It was clear from the first time they met that their shared traits in humanity would create the foundation for a lifetime of friendship. Their love of horses, their ability to tell amazing stories, and–most importantly–their love for their fellow man was an instant magnet that brought the two of them together. That fact seems to be one of Taylor Made's superpowers. Whether it's Frank Taylor, Mark, Duncan, Steve Castagnola or a number of other players on their team, Taylor Made seems to find the most sincere people to handle their sale business. Certainly, Stuart Angus would be right at the top of anyone's 'most sincere' list. As people have shared over and over again, Stu's ability to connect with people, his awareness of their circumstances and his ability to make their lives seem so important is only a few of the many traits that made Stuart special. He was compassionate, loving and he cared so deeply for others that it was almost surreal how important he was to the development of humanity in Kentucky and beyond. I cannot tell you how many times my husband and Stu would be sharing 'another' glass of bourbon, then, remarkably, Stu would spout out something so profound that you would just sit there staring at him in amazement. The stories about how Stu enriched people's lives are being told over and over again in the TDN and in bars and restaurants all over Lexington. The number of young people he mentored will impact the Thoroughbred business for generations. If anything else, Stu taught us all that, while Thoroughbred racing is ultra competitive, kindness, grace and love can bring all of those competitors together. His impact on the industry and the people who work in horse racing can never really be measured. While Stu lost the battle that so many of us watched him wage, he did so with such grace and dignity that it stands to inspire us all for years to come. As life goes on, and time passes, Stuart's memory will begin to fade as people go on with their lives. Here is hoping that those who have taken the time to share their remarkable love for Stuart will continue to do so far into the future. Editor's Note: Stuart Angus, a Senior Thoroughbred Advisor for Taylor Made, passed away Aug. 28 at the age of 60. His friends are encouraging those he touched to submit `Stu stories' to the TDN. Please email suefinley@thetdn.com if you have a story to share.

Thats great then we can breath a sigh of relief. Onwards and upwards! -
There’s the geoblocking that’s pulling in 650 million in lost turnover every year now. That pays for lots of stakes. -
I still waiting to hear what the big committee has come up with or was that just a load of hot air? There is no way pm earth they can keep spending big for another 4 years losing money. There has to be someone that pulls the plug before the time Entains 5 years is up. They need to act now or harness will never recover but then again everything is said to be positive apparently?
