I have heard there has been some bitching, moaning and in fighting between the two divisions (Betcha and TAB) when one or the other poaches elite customers off the other side. -
Gee,if thats holding your line then how dangerous is it to be a jockey. everyone sees things different i suppose. The last time i commented on a jockey riding in a manner that i thought was dangerous was a couple of minutes after i watched a race at cambridge a couple of years ago which turned out to involve a fatality. .Only difference was today the jockey had more intent to put his rival onto heels whereas the cambridge one was a terrible misjudgment. i thought it just good luck pinns riding didn't cause any injuries to the horse it was knocking around or the others that would have gone over the top had it fallen. Today there was slight outward movement by the horse racing a length in front and just to their inside,but i still can't see why any jockey would have so little regard for a fellow jockeys safety,even if they weren't happy about being pushed out. That horse that pinn knocked around was very lucky not to clip heels and fall. -
and i forgot to add,i would get mr unhinged to have be involved in the marketing strategies,what content appears on the hrnz website and give him a place on the board as well.

Nope… not full of shyte. No doubt others will have same account manager , Josh from Christchurch. They are obviously targeting exsisting customers of both TAB & Betcha, expect plenty of giveaways to those that bet less since geo blocking, figures will look terrible by end 2026. -
You know you've said the same above thing many times and its getting a bit silly now. Never once have i said i want north island harness racing or auckland racing to close.I don't think i've read where anyone has ever even said they want that. when someone says a business needs to restructure and run their business in a way which consolidates their ability to continue to operate a viable,sustainable business,that does not mean they want that business to end. I would have thought it obvious its the opposite to how you always interpret it. and i've persnally never said i don't want cheap cambridge tuesay racing. Again,i've said the opposite,so many times.Since you've forgotten i will say it yet again. If they are to run cambridge meetings with such small fields they need to run them with lower stakes so they don't keep losing money on them. i have said cambrisge racing is boring,some of the driving is questionable,that the stipes oversight is below the standard seen in the south island,that the oversight of junior drivers by the stipes is particularly poor and inconsistent,that its not a good betting product mainlyn due to small fields and will turn people off betting on harness racing,But i've never saidi wanted them not not run the lower class meetings. again,what i have said is the stakes need reduced and those involved need to lift their game.. you didn't throw in i'm anti north island racing people like you often do. I suppose thats something this time. and by the way,i have advocated for a policy that means stakes paid to winning and placed connections are reduced from those programmed,with the level of stakes being based on a sliding scale depending on the number of runners. i have said this should apply in the whole of nz. and that rating penalties should be adjusted to reflect if a horse wins a race with a stkae reduced because of a small field.Thats just common sense to me although i realise it will never happen as it makes too much sense. anyways heres my thoughts on who should run hrnz. I would replace everyone on the board and move mr steele and mr peden on.and one of the handicappers as well. then i would put in greg o'conner in mr steeles job. And put people like ceemenow from the other channel on the board and also put the likes of mark jones and michael house into positions where they can influence decision making.I would take j mckinnon out of auckland and offer him a job where he focuses on canterbury and has no auckland input. I like the way hes fought for auckland all the way through.I would even offer to fly you over as the rep for the north island trainers and drivers as you would do your best to fight for their interests. Of course we would have brodie as a consultant as hes always on the money and get nowornever to fill in for brodie whens hes on his overseas trips. Then harness racing would prosper and get back on track.
