Westview

I do wonder what modeling was done on the age categories but Brad Steele has stated if things aren't working he will step in and change it , timing of the series doesn't make much sense with the golden gate at Alex Park along with the Invercargill cup meeting all in the same weekend obviously having a dramatic effect on horses traveling.

Stakes are paid by hrnz , a club can move stakes around from meeting to meeting to a certain extent but their total stake allocation for the year is governed by hrnz .Methven has in the past and probably still, although the figures our now a secret produced the best overall gbr in the country. That means they put back over $600,000 above funding back most years, second to none from a bunch of volunteers ( LEGENDS).

Yip it's gone from this week so around 140 horses in canterbury don't get a start , very cleaver thinking, not.

Track will be inspected Saturday at 10 , looked very good yesterday.

Never let the facts get in the way, after last years conference I ask John Dunn exactly that if you had more money to put into stakes where would it be "15,000 maiden race's the top looks after itself"

Next year's calendar has atleast 4 Addington meeting now taken away and I think there are 5 or 6 others around the country now not going ahead because of funding .Yes they might have been extras but what message does that send you.

Not awash with too much cash as programmed dates for next season now being canceled.

Light blue is women

Here's a shot of Unhinged followers

Banks Peninsula don't own their track and Ashburton are in conjunction with the gallops but both run good meetings

I like your thinking galah, the New Zealand Trotting Owners Association is currently working on a Website and we will looking for things that will drag people to it. As you are probably aware I have been following a few of the Westview and Unhinged horses thru training and racing even if they run down the track just so people get some sort of prospective of the highs and lows. Fergalicious might end her racing career this time in depending on the syndicate members so is the perfect candidate for a track to hopefully track series. I know not everyone is on Facebook so there will be alot of Unhinged content on the new site. Keep the ideas coming in cheers Mr Galah 👍.

Just for you galah, did a reel last night on the hard working ladies in our industry.

Found it with the help of Mr Google

Galah do you have a link to the show, it should be compulsory viewing for everyone in our industry. There are so many points in your summary that are as Brodie would say "On the money ".
