Yes saw the Campbell interview with Anthony Butt recently as well, was interesting! Unfortunately HRNZ are trying to paint a rosey picture that racing is going well due to the decisions that they have made, but they are all on the payroll. At the end of the day what will be will be and they are the ones being paid to run harness racing in NZ. Anyone with business sense knows that the harness industry is in the throes of falling on bad times financially and this is mainly due to decisions being made. What would be good but will not happen is that the current CEO starts telling the harness fraternity what is going to happen in 2 years time to the promises and the stake money level, so people can decide whether there is a future for them? -

By Mike Love Canterbury junior driver Riley Harrison is for a busy day at Motukarara. She has nine drives on the 12-race programme starting just after noon, many look to be excellent each-way value. Harrison, who works for Woodend Beach trainers Robert and Jenna Dunn, starts her day off in those colours with Amici ($6.50FF) in Race 1, (12:05pm) the NZ Bloodstock Airfreight Mobile Pace over 2000m. Drawn a little awkwardly, Harrison suggests though the mare is racing well, some luck will be required from their second line draw. “Hopefully we don’t get too far back on the markers and she should be a good chance. She’s been racing a lot better lately,” said Harrison. Rondo Trouble ($11.00FF) for trainer Michael Heenan is Harrison’s next assignment in Race 2, (12:30pm) the Peter Smith Memorial Trot over 2170m. Rondo Trouble is a 21-start maiden yet is a runner you need to cover in first four and trifecta combinations. “He has good manners, but things will need to go his way.” Harrison gave a decent push for her next steer, Unico Tessa ($6.50FF) for trainer Henderson Hunter in Race 3, (12:58pm) The Famous Grouse Mobile Pace over 2000m. The 19-start maiden has placed seven times and at her most recent placing Harrison drove and was given confidence that today will bring another strong performance. “She’s been racing really well without any luck. If we can get some luck, she’s a really good winning chance.” Lavros Segil ($12.00FF) for trainer Peter Shennan produced a stout second at her recent start, giving Harrison confidence the now 11-year-old mare could likely produce a similar effort in Race 5, (2:07pm) the Temps Bar/Mark Templeton Memorial Trot over 2170m. “Hopefully she’ll be running on at the finish again like her last start. She’s drawn to get one run at them.” In Race 6, (2:44pm) The Pint & Pony Racing & Sports Bar Mobile Pace over 2000m, Harrison drives Normie Stead ($3.50FF), who is now trained by Robert and Jenna Dunn. Harrison suggests they will learn a lot more about the two-race-winning six-year-old gelded son of Bettors Delight today. “First start, no trials for us but his works been good at home. He’s got a nice draw and we are hoping for a good run, but we will learn a bit from him from the race.” In the race of the day, Race 7 (3:14pm) the Revell Douglas Memorial Series Junior Drivers (Mobile Pace) over 2000m, Harrison links up with the Robert and Jenna Dunn trained Bruntwood Brigade ($6.50FF), who is shooting for a hat-trick of wins. “I’ll look to drive him positively from the gate. He goes best when he’s leading.” In Race 8, (3:39pm) the Moore Walker Davey Searells Accountants Trot over 2170m, Jasprit Trouble ($8.50FF) for trainer Michael Heenan has been racing in terrific form, despite a blimp last time out at Methven, a run which Harrison says we can put a line through. “He’s a good sit-sprint horse. So we will be looking to drive him like that and he should be hard to beat.” Six-year-old mare Judine ($11.00FF) lines up in the mares’ race, Race 9 (4:09pm) the Check Out Lot 285 “Image” Mobile Pace over 2000m for trainers Robert & Jenna Dunn. “She’s very off and on, so it’s up to her and how she feels on the day.” Rounding out Harrison’s busy day is Country Gold ($19.00FF) for trainer Henderson Hunter in Race 10 (4:47pm) The Golden Mile Pace over 2170m. “He was really good last start and got held up on the last bend. Hopefully, we get another good run but with some luck this time.” View the full article -
