i lke your positive post gamma. forever the optimist.i like the humour about the blinds. your probably accurate about people not replying to my posts.Not to worry.Brodies regularly replies and hes known as always being on the money and he mostly agrees with me.And you still reply. One day, if i ever make it to australia, i think i will make a point of looking you up. i reckon you are the type of bloke that i could have good chats with.If that ever happens i can't imagine we would talk about what we talk about on here,lots of wonderful australian things to talk about instead. by the way,the wife opens every curtain first thing in the morning.When i go for my walks it always surprises me just how many people never do. Most people even seem to keep all their windows closed these days. -
The thing is and it is the same as most failing businesses is that those that are in charge, try to cover things up and dont take ownership for its failure! For example, Duval, Chance Voight directors under statutory management and they stat3 that everything is rosey and no issues and financially fine lol The same attitude that HRNZ and TAB both have, so we wait and see! -

Paladin (Gun Runner) needed the length of the stretch to get there, but surged late to reel in pacesetter Chip Honcho (Connect) by a half-length in the GII Fasig-Tipton Risen Star S. over a speed-favoring course at Fair Grounds Saturday. 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Golden Tempo (Curlin), a last-to-first winner of the GIII Lecomte S., was third. Making his sophomore debut after defeating subsequent Sam F. Davis S. winner Renegade (Into Mischief) in the GII Remsen S. at the Big A Dec. 6, the 3-5 chalk raced in fourth through an opening quarter in :23.81. Hung out three-wide in a joint-second through a half mile in :47.49, Paladin set his sights on Chip Honcho on the turn for home. Chip Honcho continued to dig in gamely down the stretch, but Paladin just kept on coming on the outside to secure 50 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. “I'm very thankful for the entire ownership team and Chad Brown for giving me the opportunity to ride such a nice horse,” winning jockey Tyler Gaffalione said. “He really fought hard today to get the win. The more I asked of him, the more he was able to dig in to get by (Chip Honcho).” The $1.9-million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale purchase is campaigned in partnership by Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith, Peter Brant, Brook Smith and Summer Wind Equine, who also bred the colt. The Coolmore partners, Brant and Smith also campaigned Gun Runner's brilliant Sierra Leone, who also kicked off his sophomore campaign for trainer Chad Brown with a win in this same race in 2024. Paladin was placed first via disqualification after falling a head short of the aforementioned Renegade on debut going a one-turn mile at Aqueduct Oct. 17. Paladin was previously steered in his first two career starts by Flavien Prat, who rode the Saudi Cup card Saturday. “It was an incredible performance today,” Brook Smith said. “He dug in late to get by (Chip Honcho). He's an incredibly talented horse. Hopefully, we'll have him back in Kentucky in April then onto the Derby a month later.” Pedigree Notes: Paladin is one of 35 graded/group winners worldwide for Gun Runner. Broodmare sire Tapit was also represented by GIII Mineshaft S. winner Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) and unbeaten GII Fasig-Tipton Rachel Alexandra S. winner and 'Rising Star' Bella Ballerina (Street Sense) on the undercard. The unraced Secret Sigh (Tapit), a daughter of MGSW India (Hennessy), is also represented by a 2-year-old colt named Golden Rebellion (Into Mischief), a $900,000 Keeneland September purchase by Case Clay Thoroughbred Management.

yeah. as you say ,what will be will be ,no matter what you,me or others say. hrnz have used the entain money to create the impression amongst its stakeholders and investors,that the industry is going much better than of how its actually performing financially and numbers wise..And they have also used it in misdirecting attention from the declining numbers of the likes of horses being bred,those breeding them,licence holder numbers,field size,etc. Reinforced by selective,clever hrnz spin and the complicit media, is a strategy that clearly is fooling many. i'm sure,the strategy was done with good intentions,but good intentions won't help pay the bills in years to come.
