    • Rest assured it wasnt Brodie. Dont touch gallops and far too short to be offloading on! The boosted odds are not worth the effort as the limits on amounts able to be wagered are pretty pitiful.
    • You'd expect that though, Adminstration should be balanced and fair ... not the case
    • thanks for that! @curious Some interesting stuff re things 'digital' in that!  ...still not enough for me to be stopping my plans around 'uncoupling from things racing',..  currently thinking of building a kitty and having a serious go at the punt on Champions Day,.. then punting side can head off into the sunset..   re photo stuff, still working on exit strategy, slowly getting it together!  still ponder options Racing Horse Book Collection!
    • accreditation bans Still practiced here in NZ...  I feel for her if he has been playing silly games with shit like that on her! I see in her background she has time getting a degree at Otago, I seem to recall coming across her then! but Doh! cant recall sitting here now! (an aside story) When I first got 'Press' accreditations' (early '80's) they v hard to get!  There was the Racing Writers Ass that dished out your ticket! Entry to Press Box at all the big tracks was near sacred! Especially WRC. On any race day it allowed one wearing the P tag,  to have excuses to wander around 'the committee rooms' of the likes of Trentham!  Silver troughs aplenty to the elite of the day to indulged in! lol I recall once capturing a amusing shot of  a group of them beached out in the late afternoon son!  Not that 'we' could complain! Back then we would get a ticket to the buffet, which was of a very high standard! The actual Press Room had a Bar better than most Public Bars! Let the good times roll.. 
    • Good to see that they are finishing with the 12k 2 year old bonus, as it has not done what it was meant to do, but then who would've thought? It is long overdue for HRNZ to actually become financially frugal, but then it is probably too late, but we will see! I believe that there are a lot that derive their income from harness racing still believing that everything is Ok as this is what has come from HRNZ! Chucking around Entain money just because it was there is not s business plan that was ever going to work medium term. There is going to need to be a helluva lot of belt tightening from many parties for it to be able to sustain the industry in the next decade. Punters and ownership needs to be encouraged.
