    • Well after reading these dates changes --WHERE is Woodville on here. What is wrong with running meetings there instead of travelling all the way to New Plymouth?
    • 59 noms for Auckland, a hundred more for Oamaru......I still maintain all races with 6 starters or less should be penalty free and no ratings reduction, no one can really manipulate things but in such small fields some are winning in poor fields that they woudnt win if there was more depth, but there is something wrong with the present handicapping issues, when anything rating 55 or something has single finger numbers mostly.
    • Lot ov wokeness these days, I remember when Senz started in NZ, a guy who signed up to work for them Sam Casey wrote a column about women's Rugby, saying it needed a hand up rather than a helping out, or something similar, anyway his contract was cancelled, he is actually employed by sports nation now but wokeness is bad, no commentator can call it as they see it or else, Aussie is worse than us.
    • Brings back memories of Dave  MacDonald getting  the knife in the back straight after Covid
    • i hope the chief takes up that offer.  it would have to be a win/win/win situation.I can't see any down side to it at all. as to harnesslink. nearly all the new zealand content on harnesslink is just the exact same articles that appear on the hrnz website. besides,the reason your popular is you provide content that people are interested in. People are naturally inquisitive about the people they often see but don't really know,like they wonder,whats their background,what do they do,etc,etc. They see content that is relateable to themselves and because of that they see your content providing coverage that they believe is as deserving of as much coverage as any big timer.People believe themselves and others like them,as being valuable assets to the industry and your contentrewards and portrays that reality.After all,people of all backgrounds dedicate so much of their lives to harness racing. Thats not to say people don't like seeing big players in  your content, ,they do,the thing is when you do showcase the bigger players,your actually doing them a favour because your not taking a kiss their your arse type of approach,that sometimes comes across with the liikes of m guerin.Your approach portrays the big players in a that people can appreciate,they're just doing the same as everyone and have the same love of the horse as everyone,just on a bigger scale.thats your content is unique in a good way.Anyways,thats my opinion.Tthe proof is in how popular it is. hrnz or even trackside,with all their resources surprisingly seem to be outplayed in an important part of the industry by one bloke getting help from his wife. as to the unhinged part,i don't think i've seen anyone unhinged on unhinged. I guess thats what you mean. in fact people are more likely to think some of us who post on here can be a bit that way sometimes,but hey, everyone is different,no point living in a fake world where people only say nice things.
