Auckland Friday night- should they race??

[TAB For Ever]

Great to see Gamma fighting the good fight against the great protectors of NZ Harness......we are doing it for the Industry !!!!

And we don't like the place prices , we don't like the product , the quality of the horses , the drivers ,the tempo ,the sit/sprints  the commentators and definitely don't like Auckland particularly as they lose the Industry money !

Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.......

And who would go and watch this dross......well I do and I been doing very nicely thank you .....look beyond the odd $1.20 shot and go for your free drink then and there are some great prices in the small fields on the win pool and trifectas etc !

After years of the huge expense of keeping Harness afloat in NZ , the punters now have 100's of options to show their skill , the owners returns are higher. 

Trainers are better off than ever and Drivers and Juniors are getting more opportunities each week to progress and learn faster.

And the NORTH is flying , the have the top breeders/stallions , many of top owners , the Northern trainers are killing it it ...Telfers winning the numbers game . All Stars and BPurdon up there on stakes. Northerners HCullen and SReid in the south as big back ups for the Stockwell/ Telfer machine. Dunns keeping a leg in both camps.

The BIG ISSUE seems to be that each Northern meeting is losing money .........well look closer at the numbers you will see that many Clubs /regions are currently losing money in that the GBR is less than the stakes contribution...at a quick glance it appears , Nelson ,Rangiora , many Southern Cubs /meetings do like wise.

And how is each of you being affected by this 'perceived doom and gloom ' being pointed at Auckland.......I'm enjoying the racing , free parking ,free drink , free racebook , good racing with top trainers and drivers....Telfers won at least 5 x last Friday ,maybe 8 for week ! , my owners returns are up , my small betting is profitable ,\. And the participants are enjoying it.

Again ,how are you lot affected ????????

The new 'strategy and dawning' will be revealed at Special Meeting tomorrow night   !!

In the meantime , imagine if all the Harness Clubs  had to throw their net worth /equity into a big hat to divvy up between the top THREE clubs in NZ who would YOU PICK the TOP 3 as..........

TABFOREVER, this is the problem that exists with harness racing in NZ!!!!!

There is no accountability coming from those that should be showing it!!!

Several of us that consistently comment actually care about what is going to happen with harness racing in NZ, even though it doesnt affect us too much personally.

Those at the helm and making decisions are showing that they are only there to collect their salaries which they do not seem to deserve, and bugger what happens in the future as we will be gone!

They were handed a lifeline by having all this money thrown at it from Entain and yet from the outside many of us can see what is going to happen when the money dries up, and it isnt looking good.

Anyway, TABFOREVER, if you think they are doing everything right then so be it, but what I do  know in a couple of years or so time, people will be saying that what we are saying was right, and what are we going to do now?

Make hay while the sun shines as all this money keeps coming is HRNZ’s attitude from where Brodie sits!

More than happy to be proven wrong!
