    Based on who you ride for ; 0
  2. Huey
    I think it will be pretty poor form if its over turned, but would not be surprised at all.

    Was always going to happen with TA & other bigger stables not having access to the Aus jocks like they have in the past. Not sure I agree with his argument though, but I wouldn't bet against him getting what he wants i.e. to ride Karaka Million night.
  4. Huey
    $1mill for that field, is this race run a bit early? I know I know the sales and all.
  5. Huey
    Interesting comments from the TA trainer saying the industry would be worse off without OP on Karaka Million night, perhaps we might get a more competitive race without him or will TA jet in the Aus jocks?
  6. Huey
    Dont they say giving 80m back to the industry? Therefore it would have to be net revenue?
  7. Huey
    I have every faith that those running the industry know very little about the sport, but what surprises me most is the trainers in behind the AWT , it appears as though they have only looked at it from a training perspective?
  8. Huey
    Exactly right, some very good points. So if we can't follow the form from the AWT to the grass , whats the point of it from a punters perspective ?
  9. Huey
    Doubtful and this is where the logic of the likes of BS is so misplaced. I'm all for moving dates and venues if its going to improve the exposure, participation & ultimately returns to the industry , however this does not appear to be the case in any of these changes.
  10. Huey
    Still impressive figures whether thats the case or not & a lot at Ellerslie on B Day would have been also.
  11. Huey
    That will kill it, and that is their plan to enable them to get their hands on the assets.
  12. Huey
    The Status Quo is not an option , but it is at these big full time clubs for some reason.
  13. Huey
    Don't give Bernard any ideas , he will be pushing for it. He hasn't a clue what makes the industry tick.
  14. Huey
    Thoroughly deserved imo. An outstanding female athlete, her longevity, consistency and enthusiasm is but to be admired. If only the sport had 10 riders like her.
  15. Huey
    The question based on the initial post should be , is it more successful for the industry based on what was in place previously? A lot of these larger clubs get good PR from the governing body , no matter what they do. Based on fields & horse numbers like Hastings that does not appear to be the case.
  16. Huey
    agree and if youre like me , probably broke on the punt by race 8 ; 0
  17. Huey
    Yes I love the solution everyone has of just sending them to Aus. as if they just turn up and win, the competition is probably need to the toughest in the world over there & it certainly isn't a given in just going over.
  18. Huey
    Yep total bias, so I wouldn't pay it any credence.
  19. Huey
    How do you have them without the smaller venues and smaller days to prop them up? Those days don't just magically happen and its not just the funding around it that is of concern its all the preparation and participation that comes from other parts of the industry. Who supports the industry throughout the rest of the season after Boxing Day,NY Day and Karaka Million have been and gone? Most things in life build their base then get the top part right, look at Aus for an example. In NZ we look for short cuts that are unsustainable and we allow ourselves to be run by leaders who have no idea how they industry actually works.
  20. Huey
    Very true, but what does need to happen is the opportunity to socialise and attend a race meeting is spread as far and wide as possible, particularly at this time of year. Not gifted to clubs and locations based on some false pretense that they are improving the industry by consolidating it, not to mention know factual info or commercial analysis to justify such poor decision making.
  21. Huey
    Exactly ! If someone doesn't the industry is a dead duck!
  22. Huey
    So knock some SI meetings on the head to be sure HB get good fields, that'll work surely?
  23. Huey
    That's exactly what it is , however they are needed but as you say not in the plan.
  24. Huey
    People are paid to come up with this, can you believe it? Clueless!
  25. Huey
    Isnt this the meeting that used to be held at Stratford? Perhaps 2 day carnivals just dont work?
