    • You 2 old boys have really drawn the Curtains and Pulled down the Blinds on your view of NZ harness racing. And trying to Board up the windows as well lol.  No wonder no-one talks to you anymore here. Do you seriously expect the CEO or HRNZ or anyone to be disappointed in and back your Shocking judgements of every aspect of the sport ? They Can't Do That. It's their job to put a Racing product on for the participants.  Calling everyone 'Fools' 10 times solves nothing Mr Galah. Let's have a look at why they say The Sport is never Been better.  Get some Optimism going maties . Pull that Blind up and remove your deafeners !! (I think they're glued in with you 2 though ) 😂😋😉 1/  Fabulous racing all year round. Amazing concepts like the November Slot races, The Cambridge Million Betcha and TAB trot attracting the best horses in the world nearly the past 2 years. HRNZ ONLY have to put in a Small portion of the prizes pool so the BIG-time racing is on the cusp of being 'Self Sufficient ' excellent stuff !!  2/ The NZ CUP racing for a great purse with the Aussie involvement through the ceiling now . because the racing is doing so well in NZ . The last 2 Dominion trots have been fantastic. ( I guess that makes up for NZ not running the Interdominion anymore )   3/ The yearlings Prices are amazing . Stonewall bought 2 yearlings a year ago for NZ record Prices . $360,000 each I think it was. The breeders will be smiling at this like real estate agents lol.  4/ The Golden Gait concept at Auckland is amazing with people like Unhinged Nigel for example winning them with his syndicates and getting good reward for their Input to the industry and participation . Like wise the recent Ashburton 5000 concept saw normal rated horses winning $60,000 races for normal grass roots participants. How good was that. The millionaires have enough races put on for them like the harness millions etc. 5/ BIG time Aussie owners like Boots and Shannon have taken over where Mark Purdon's left off , and are supporting the trainers with a stack of purchases at your yearling sales,  6/ GUS and Muscle Mountain are trotting at an amazing level, showing NZ bred trotters are near best on the planet. There are ways to expand on that by running More Trotting races. Wait on . Auckland already do !! for Bernie Hackett, Dr Chin, Balle, McGowan and other fantastic trotter trainers in the North . Well done ATC. 7/ The horses are going blistering times . Because the Trainers are the best around. Dunn's , Telfers, Cullins  ,Dalgety and the Masters themselves the 3 brothers/in law = BarryP and MarkP and Tony H STILL training and WINNING after all these 5 decades. The best in the World still Representing your Amazing Sport .   So HOW Lucky are you guys to Have them ? 8/ New Zealand Very Abily represented last night at Melton Victoria on our Biggest night of the year at the Hunter Cup. NOOO . Not by Mick Guiren (who droned on like a man in a asylum lol 😂😋 that no-one could understand) But by Republican Party, Captain's Mistress and Chase A Dream storming into the money showing GOOD the kiwis really are . (and people could bet on them too 👍) how  is there anything to complain about .  and you Expect the CEO to say things are going Bad. 😂🤣😁  Adapt and pull up your blinds and open the curtains , and enjoy the sunshine boys. try and enjoy the sport. better than tiddly winks the Chief was trying to sell someone lol 😂 Amazing Horses, Amazing Horse people, Amazing races. Heaps more coming up soon too.  have a good Sunday. ( get the Mrs to open the curtains or something lol ) 😁😉

    • They should draw a couple of punters names out that had a bet… let them have a go on a bonus bet, if it comes in half to punter, half to comp
    • Yes saw the Campbell interview with Anthony Butt recently as well, was interesting! Unfortunately HRNZ are trying to paint a rosey picture that racing is going well due to the decisions that they have made, but they are all on the payroll. At the end of the day what will be will be and they are the ones being paid to run harness racing in NZ. Anyone with business sense knows that the harness industry is in the throes of falling on bad times financially and this is mainly due to decisions being made. What would be good but will not happen is that the current CEO starts telling the harness fraternity what is going to happen in 2 years time to the promises and the stake money level, so people can decide whether there is a future for them?
