yes , I guess NZ's best 2 trotters in Oscar B and Muscle Mountain had their Butts kicked in both the TAB trots to date , so if Marky and the Hope team can't beat the Aussies no-one can .
Those 2 you mentioned weren't even part of the Aussie Trifecta's run in the Slot trot so far either. But should be this year (along with Gus)
NZ trotters have really fallen away badly recent times. Ran a gallant 2nd and 3rd in the rich Interdominion last Winter in Brisbane with Bet N Win 2nd and Oscar B 3rd, so there's always some hope if they come over.
But Keayang Zahara will be here too in July for the Interdominion , so just might frighten you guys off again .
She is certainly the Real Deal , and one of the most Pure trotters ever seen since Maori's Idol (the best ever)
here's a photo to enjoy of the great mare winning at Albion Park late last year. Just a magnificent trotting machine.
We get very little media from out of HRNZ apart from every now and then we get the CEO interviewed and telling us how positive things are!
Within 2 years there is going to be a lot of media reports but for the wrong reasons!
If we are wrong then why is the CEO not coming out and denying that things are dire?
Oh,could this be the reason why The Harness Code have been deafening with their silence in supporting their Rival Code from avoiding impending closure!
They only see $$$$ signs with their greater share of The Entain Cash Splash Pie.
