Sounds like the Ham sandwichs tomorrow will be discounted 😁

Was thinking that myself. Didn’t Swayzee win a decent portion of that last year or the year before?. Must be a massive premium HRV pay for the insurance on that.

I think that’s been a very positive unintended consequence of the 5000 concept.

And yet the thoroughbreds race for about $20k in the outback & at least $100k at a average metropolitan meeting.

I’m extremely sceptical that Brodie is the railway sleeper person that people seem to think he is.

Not sure why he didn’t go forward with Akuta. If he’d come off the gate he would have led or trailed IMO.

I love that word Brodie. Should be word of the year so far.

Josh Dickie will be thrilled to know he is no longer the worst driver in New Zealand.

Are some clubs stashing away money incase funding is substantially cut in a few years?

It’s not about being asset rich. The ATC is asset rich inspite of their massive debt. Agree with you there, they should be paying stakes closer to the amount they are receiving in funding.

Sounds like my kind of guy. Would love more details of what it was all about.

On a similar vein I notice the Stridemaster results are very slow now. Fridays meeting at Addington still hasn’t got the results posted from race 8 on. They always use to be posted on the same night. Also I notice they don’t have the stridemaster link from the results page now. It was really good the way it was, I don’t know why they have changed it.

Seems to be a problem during & after races on race days. Didn’t work on Friday evening and came back on Saturday morning. Currently still not working. I’m no expert but it seems their server is not handling the amount of traffic to the site. It never used to be a problem so not sure what has changed.

I didn’t know either. I only signed up a couple of weeks ago & got $75 bonus cash. I used $20 of it and just checked my account now and the balance has gone 🤨

It’s not a matter of showing them the door, it’s a matter of saving harness racing in the North, for those you mention and everyone else in the industry. The only viable way to do that now is to sell AP and use the proceeds to improve Cambridge & fund stakes. If we persevere with trying to save AP there is a danger we will all go down with the sinking ship. That won’t give anyone the outcome they want.
