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.

Don't beat about the bush , provide details.

Who said the paint brush was unused ? I can't afford a new one. I'm right here and ready for when a "sayer" becomes a "doer" you just say the word.

Name them, you're the one making assertions .

Who can't ? Give us some names? Doesn't have to be the ones you're going to glorify with you presence on their committees , just specific examples.
