Cuts are inevitable the way they are blowing the money from Entain! .The truth of the matter is that Entain being brought in as the White Knight to save racing in NZ wouldve been ok if the industry hadve used the money wisely, and not like a kid in a lolly shop!! Can not talk about the gallops as I not interested in them but I have yet to meet a single person that has confidence in the ones making the decisions! nothing personal but they have acted extremely irresponsibly with industry money and not their own! All the time being paid big salaries and ultimately they will be down the road. Does anyone actually believe that the ones making these decisions have ever had any success running a business, as that is what harness racing is? -
harnesslink haa an article regarding mr steeles answers to questions posed by b stewart an harnesslink. maybe its an annual thing. anyways,whenever i read what mr steele says,and this latest is another example,i have to admire his abilty to not answer questions,but in a way that still comes across as sounding positive. mr steele ability to word answers in the way he does, is quite skillful. for example, when asked if number of mares being bred the past season were up,he said .."a survey showed they were going in the right direction...conversations with studmasters were generally positive....we remain optimistic we will deliver on a much improved result on the prior year... I mean,a simple yes or no would have been better. Wouldn't hrnz have enough information by now to just give the numbers. personally i think he gave the answer in the final comment..optimistic for a better result than last year. My guess that means about the same or only just above last year,which of course had been a really bad year. anyways,that man sure knows how put a good spin on whatever he wants to. -

i heard andy mccook yesterday commenting that its going to be a sad time in the next couple of months with others as relates to employment.One can only guess what he means but the comment was made after he wished rail the best.So he did say couple of months. The greyhounds still have 6 months to go. when greyhounds shut down,that will be a very sad and difficult time for the over 1000 people employed in that industry. I would be good if there could be greater transparency from the government,the greyhound industry and the likes of the spca as to what actually is going to happen to all the greyhounds.That surely is a story that media should be highlighting and bringing to the attention of the public. as to the commentators dropping in numbers. theres other excesses that you would think will impact harness racing coverage.I know friday lights thing is enjoyed by people and is very good,but if i was a cost cutter,i would be asking myself,why are we paying 2 people tio sit in the studio when obviously only 1 is needed. Thats nothing against o'connor or graham,they are both very good,but the pressure you would think will come on entain to cut costs to return as much as they can to the industry as the indudustry is clearly spending more than they should and will themselves be making cuts in the next couple of years you would think. That would be my guess for something that will happen in the next year or so.
