    You got a point there.
  2. Huey
    You know what you should do Chief, you should go buy one at the sales then give it to TA to train , then you can sit at home in your tangerine pjs and watch it race. Just a thought, pick the next KM winner for them.

    So the National goes from Riccarton and the hills gone from Ellerslie so the Great Northern etc are gone from there , gee these guys running the sport are doing a fantastic job. All jumps racing moved to Trentham where you can watch cricket games during races sounds like a viable solution.
  4. Huey
    You haven't raced one for a while Chief? I thought you'd have a barn full of them with your favourite stable , you know the one that gave you those tangerine PJ's?

    Net loss of Friends today Chief??
  6. Huey
    $45k to race her a season ... yeah right!
  7. Huey
    Well I'm guessing one trainer was very lucky the other two trainers were involved.

    The only hint I saw regarding the TA positive (to your credit) was on here, nothing anywhere else nadda, loveracing etc all reported the Sharrock case , did I miss something outside of the NZ herald article on the TA case?
  9. Huey
    he shouldn't, amazing how the TA positive was swept under the carpet, this one has been really thrown about ... can't work out why though.

    Phenomenal money for mares there , In NZ we got mares going on Gavel in foal from nice families by nice sires probably won't even get a bid!
  11. Huey
    and I couldn't agree more, but what I'm saying is by not being concerned about all those facets I've stated youre straight up not respecting the owner are you?
  12. Huey
    No but I rate them as far more important than fancy facilities for owners, not to mention they are integral parts of the sport with regards to getting a return. I may have missed the first part of your post, but I tought you were saying you'd prefer better facilities for owners or consider them more important than the tracks etc?
  13. Huey
    Don't agree, you'll never get the chance in NZ racing circles unless youre in the club. Best you can hope for is having the hoi pill take your ideas as their own.

    For me making sure you're horse is getting the opportunity to perform to the best of its abilities on a safe, unbiased track/surface (nothing worse than lane racing or concerns about the safety of your pride and joy) is absolutely paramount in driving the purchase decision for another horse. Next would be the programming , calendar & handicapping would be of the the utmost importance. All of these(if done right) should also generate wagering on the product surely? If you want the fancy dining etc why don't you take your tablet or laptop and go and watch your horse race while eating out in a Michelin Star restaurant?

    What would noms accs be for Doomben Cup? Not to mention cost of having her there. I'd say they'd be dipping into the kitty.
  16. Huey
    Where did I bag the horse out, nothing but respect for her, but still confused as to what the point of the entire campaign was, I guess by your reply you understand it all?
  17. Huey
    What's up with Sweeney commenting on the apprentice ride on the 2nd horse? I notice he does this a fair bit when it comes to apprentice riders, but not senior jocks , particularly his own
  18. Huey
    Seriously what was the point in running her in that race today? She picked up the stragglers only by the looks of it.
  19. Huey
    Be likely to lose days to the AWT if push came to shove I'd have thought. What you state however is exactly the type of analysis & thinking the industry should have been doing long before the AWT came about. Unfortunately on the racing side we simply do not have the leadership to think outside the square or even listen for that matter.
  20. Huey
    I'd fix it with a little bit of "vibe"!
  21. Huey
    At a time when the industry has a really good "vibe" about it , well its just the "vibe" thats all.
  22. Huey
    Different scenario entirely imo, particularly with the NP M cases having already been identified. One thing I've noticed is the TA situation was kept very quiet in the media , this one no problem being thrown out there , why is that?
  23. Huey
    Was thinking along the same lines yesterday, its clear the quality animals in Aus don't go to these tracks to race on.
  24. Huey
    I got the impression yesterday , that they really don't care if they work or not from a punting or financially successful perspective, they intend on selling up the family jewels to do whatever it is they deem to be the right thing no matter what. How long until people are really bored of watching the stuff?
  25. Huey
    Of course its ok if youre in the club or part of the agenda, the no facilities was only used on clubs they desperately wanted to find a reason to rid the industry of of via the venue plan.
