Other Codes We have considered the information provided by the harness and greyhound codes to the Future Venue Plan Joint Working Group meetings on 6 June and 6 July. We note at the time of writing that harness racing is proposing to reduce their number of venues from 35 to 31 over 3 years, to 28 over 5 years and to 25 after 10 years. Greyhound racing is proposing to reduce their number of venues from 7 to 3 after 10 years. We have not undertaken detailed work on the harness or greyhound codes, so are not in a position to comment about their preliminary venue plans. As noted earlier, we have looked at the thoroughbred venues that we recommend be closed and which also conduct harness meetings. There are 9 thoroughbred racing or training venues which we propose should be closed that also will continue to host harness meetings as per the Harness Racing New Zealand (HRNZ) preliminary venue plan. Having reviewed the land ownership arrangements for each venue we believe that NZTR, HRNZ and the relevant clubs should be able to work out future arrangements satisfactory to both codes. There are no thoroughbred venues proposed to be closed that also host greyhound meetings

last race was at westport in the cup

Best harness track on the coast is westport why did the gallops vacate from there a number of years ago

I am pretty sure the dogs are happy to be under the radar when it comes to traceability

the other movers and shakers

a mover and a shaker is our dear old brodie

i think that is part of the galloping reduction but really timaru oamaru waimate where will those clubs race wingatui and ashburton deary me

just keeping it real good buddy and your imagination in check

at least you tried to make up some facts for good effect

he part owned it when alan devery trained it before it went to mike defilippis interestingly he was also the part owner of really honkin when dale cameron trained it

memorable horse and also the first horse brian omeara took to the races it ran 2nd and was his first training winner a week later

naval officer trained by gavin hampton now theres a blast from the past

r m cameron won the last edition with the horse that fell over the hub rail in the sires stakes final later that season

waimate before christmas

fancy fred would be more than 40 years ago there is not much in harness racing that hasn't changed in the last 40 years gordon middleton seldom without an early 2yo el jefe won first 5 for des grice failed to place once it was group race time mainly standing starts back then

fingers crossed you are able define the years you refer to as many years ago because its all very vague as usual ?

so you just made that up and pretended it was what newmarket said lol

it is pleasing that hrnz have a proactive stance toward animal welfare and are aware of the increased expectations on the industry with respect to animal welfare

thanks double r for choosing not to skirt around the question thats good info i wonder how brodie is getting on with his addington winners

was just me being more specific than your vague effort keen to see your specifics
