    • No, "as the sunset goes down" is generally not considered a true oxymoron.  While it might feel redundant, an oxymoron specifically requires the combination of two contradictory or opposite terms (e.g., "deafening silence," "bittersweet").  Here is why "as the sunset goes down" does not fit: Definition of Sunset: The phrase "set" in sunset already implies the sun is moving downward toward the horizon. Redundancy vs. Contradiction: Saying the sunset "goes down" is a redundancy (using more words than necessary) or a descriptive phrase. It is not a contradiction because "down" is exactly where the sun goes during a "set."  When would it be an oxymoron? If you said "the rising sunset" or "the sunset went up," those would be oxymorons, as they pair contradictory ideas (rising/setting or up/down).   (ends)    As ever!!! isn't the key! that if you have a relationship with the Industry, then how can you get some fun and excitement along the way!  ps,  the Two Industries that come with the most Propaganda! Racing and Real-estate!

    • You nice fellows are Constantly Worried about the Funding and how it's allocated. Over many threads. I've just defended the ideas that have been put forward about races that the money has been used for.  People are ATTEMPTING to put on Great racing still in hard times. Well worth my praise.  The cheap shot referred to Brad Steele who left his homeland to help you out, and all he gets is the poor character work you guys are trying to put on him. What did you expect ? Going to say the industry is diabolical like you guys all say it is ?  well that IS Not the ANSWER I would expect . Aussies try and get on with it. and ADAPT like Chief said to Brodie he should try and do with his betting problems. He doesn't seem able to adapt unfortunately .  You seem to agree that Seasonal Funding is allocated SEASONALLY and is used in that season . Brodie has a little trouble accepting that has to be the case. (he might be a Hoarder ? who knows ? 😁😋 ) but anyway there has been Many concepts and new races added to the Calender past 3 years with great HRNZ incentives. ALL of which I have enjoyed (for the sake of the participants mainly ) and none that the forum blokes seem to have enjoyed at all , and begrudge Auckland getting any at all . Because they are privileged ? it seems lol 🤣 Nigel won a golden Gait you know.? you should be happy for these type of amazing concepts.  Anyway yes I do agree that the stake money will drop . Many states of Aus run at a loss but benefactors like Seymour and Garrard step up and donate funding (Seymour keeps the struggling SA trots going at this very minute ) not to mention what he does for QLD. Garrard Already Sponsors the Miracle Mile and a whole Heap of NZ races already in an attempt to keep the sport he loved at a viable level. All good , the racing itself is going Gang busters.  As I said on another thread . Space your NZ main Problem is the Leading Trainers are just Not Producing ENOUGH Horses at the races . THEY've got very LAZY there mate. Exception being Ray Green (and co-trainer Delaney)  produced the most runners last night so Rightly WON the most races.  good on em' . showing the way . (Telfers trying hard too to keep numbers up , so good on em' too 👍🏆) Enjoy your racing while you still have it . ( it's better than this shitty tennis stuff clogging my screen currently 😂)
