This is what everyone should realise - “We're trying to work with them, but there's just no working with them,” said Hawkins, calling it “scary” that land could be "forcibly" confiscated in 2025. There is absolutely no working with them, their incompetence is only bettered by their arrogance.

Several of us have our paint brushes at the ready , we await your call!

Because they are Ellerslie

Let's hope some of the effected clubs and it'll be more than just Levin can get together to mobilse against this outright theft!

You've clearly never ever been anywhere near a racing club committee.

Financial Statements are unlikely to tell the full story. I'd venture to say it was your homework @Freda did.

I would say outside of those clubs who are in the racing mafia family most of it is dependent upon what enthusiasm still exisits there and NZTR playing fair with them , the later very unlikely.

Agree on both.

Perhaps at the beginning but certainly not in the past few years, some quality winners of the race Redzel, KYR, Nature Strip. In fact you could argue there hasn't been a poor winner of the race with Yes Yes Yes not really getting the chance to go on with it as stud beckoned , all the other winners good horses.

No it shouldn't , but the quality of the field consistently indicates that it should.

Prove it then, no stats. I just said there are no dogs on this planet with 4 legs , doesn't mean its a true statement.

No you ignore stats, youre a very silly man @Chief Stipe

Apparently you know all these you've read all the clubs financials , so you tell us?

You're clueless @Chief Stipe are you suggesting the success of these sires is due to a breeders demand for an outcross?

Your beloved 2yo racing is a prime example. Of the 2025 racing season 9 of 17 stakes races were won by Aus Sires. 2024 10 of the 17. Thats only a snapshot. Pretty clear to see the influence the Aus breed is having here.
