From your repetitive posts i think we all know your thoughts on the All Stars barn However even you would have to concede that they don't win all the big races and don't even compete in many other races throughout the country. Yes, they target major carnivals as that's what they are very good at and what there owners want in return for the capital they outlay.
The demise of Harness racing , in fact all NZ racing is not due to Purdon or any one single entity . I suggest you think outside the box you are trapped in, racing is not what it used to be and probably never will be like that again, too much competition in terms of time and money elsewhere.
