the galah Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 just wondering when the canterbury clubs are going to be running the finals of their high stake races that HRNZ have given aucklnad the funds to run,like the above races. Why haven't they promoted the canterbury races? also,when are the penalty free finals for the horses than run at the low grade addington wednesday meetings,like cambridge had. maybe its all being kept a bit hush,hush as they dont want to stop all those canterbury horses, that are racing at auckland each week at the moment.Not that i can think of even 1 horse that has. Or is it the case,that hrnz only reward clubs and the provinces that provide a product that can generate losses? Surely canterbury trainers/owners,clubs can't be that apathetic. or maybe they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the galah Posted October 26 Author Share Posted October 26 I just had a look at the unhinged page and there was a segment on bounce n beyond winning. The first thing mr unhinged said was what a great job they do at the beach,obviously in reference to the horse going to auckland recently and losing form before coming back to the south island. then john dunns reply was,well we will look at going back to auckland as it was eligible for running in one of those $100,000 races that HRNZ have put all the money into for auckland. Doesn't it make you wonder,why should an owner have to send their horse to the other end of new zealand to do that. Why can't the area that generates the turnovers to fund that race in auckland, get the same support from HRNZ and run a similar race at addington.. is there not something wrong with that. Also,is it just me ,but wouldn't you have thought john dunn may have asked that question. Afterall it must cost the owners a lot to transport the horse all over the country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree Galah, does not reall6 make much sense! They also race the wrong way around on a track that does not suit a lot of horses. I suppose they are trying to keep Auckland harness racing going. At the end of the day Entain will spend the money they promised how they want to even if it isnt the best way to spend it!
