    Yes what is the "Real" Objective of it all ??
  2. Huey
    Wonder what the Riding Masters think of that?
  3. Huey
    NZTR probably expect the young trainers to come through partnerships like Wellwood, Mckay and a number of others have or to fall into the TA model. This of course will kill off a lot the interest many people have in racing in this country i.e. following local horses of a smaller trainer etc the more one looks at it the more of a disaster it looks to be.
  4. Huey
    They don't ask questions , they only listen and by the looks of it only to the elite trainers.
  5. Huey
    It's quintessential NZTR isn't it, focus on something that may need addressing ahead of tackling the industry real problems.

    Like most people I'd like to know what this lower cost model some trainers are supposed to be benefiting from is? Does it mean someone who owns their own land , has their kids ride work for them or owns their own stallion has lower costs ? What exactly is this model?
  7. Huey
    They wouldn't care, they aren't racing people , thye don't really give a hoot but the industry and they'd just move on to the next show in town.
  8. Huey
    Not considering the clown ship running the industry.
  9. Huey
    Perhaps this is a good thing and out of the sheer idiocy of it all a new regime could evolve. Probably not , but what they are proposing only has a limited shelf life at best.
  10. Huey
    They certainly have, it means an end to stories like Gold Watch , the fools will support it as well the sport is truly done in this country.
  11. Huey
    What would they know about Elite?
  12. Huey
    I only back OP if he is on a TA horse or riding one after he finished his TA rides for the day , especially if big Dave is there to meet him in the birdcage.
  13. Huey
    Have you read the new proposal from those beacons of racing knowledge at NZTR ? If they have their way we'll have about 8 track work riders in the country & 3 jocks.
  14. Huey
    You think it's bad for them, then just look at what the little guy has to put up with.
  15. Huey
    900 on course and a big screen , give me a break!

    TBF none of these are really what the Aus market seems to push for I.e. American Breds & a derby winner. It's a shame as the next ones they have seem to be along the right lines to get mares, Aus form & sons of Sebring , IAV & Written Tycoon any of which would be great to see stand in NZ, the sort of sires at good fees to get Breeders back in the frame breeding a racehorse
  17. Huey
    Perhaps by Aus stallion standards that could be the case, probably more for the breed to race crowd over there , I'd venture to say any of their sires would be well placed at stud in this country.

    Given he will likely stand for 5 or 6 times the amount of these other two you'd expect the quality of mare and the leg up at the sales he will get to be of considerable advantage to him.
  19. Huey
    Real Low Grade stuff and they still racing for $15k !
  20. Huey
    It'll keep getting worse till everyday folk realise it's all part of the plan, by then it's probably gonna be too late.
  21. Huey
    Too close to the Aus Easter Sales perhaps? & in the way the calendar is now the Auckland Carnival , meaning the Million night doesn't stand out as much or kills the rest of the Auckland Carnival. Could give the Wellington Carnival back some of its lustre though perhaps, assuming of course the Million night would still link in with the sale.
  22. Huey
    Kind of like flattening the curve ; (
  23. Huey
    Horse numbers may not have been an issue if the fools had left well enough alone.
  24. Huey
    And therein lies the issue all along, there has never been any justification for it either financial or from operational benefits to the industry , just agendas and self interest at play.

    I'll have a chocolate fish on this one being the better of the two.
