as i've pointed out before,many times,where is the evidence they wouldn't still come if the level of satkes for the bigger races were lower.I have used the examplwe of lhe greatest field to run in australia last year was ibn the hunter cup which was run for a stake that was only $250,000. Remember

Look all I can say is there are PROFESSIONAL people dealing with the amount of Prizemoney distributed per year. 

It does vary time to time. Victoria are miles behind as are well in the red from running so many low class races each week to accommodate the low class ranks in Vic country. Hunter Cup has been slashed accordingly. Not rocket science when you are losing 24 million in a year like the HRV did last year. They are worse off than Auckland who are doing a good job in comparison 😂🤣 .

I'm happy with what they do . they're (HRNZ)  doing their best in a POOR Betting Sport. You and Brodie will never be Happy the way the money is handed out. It's just one of those things we just have to disagree ( or at least Not agree on)

haven't aussie horses always raced in the big nz races. Why are you saying hrnz is doing something new,when its always happened.

NO. Definitely No . just the last 3 years with Swayzee, Leap To Fame , Bettor Eclipse, Arcee Phoenix , Keayang Zahara , Just Believe and possibly more but mainly those SIX horses took out about 12 Group Ones or so,  the past 3 years.

Before that just Kerryn Manning winning the Cup in 2015 with Arden Rooney was the ONLY Big Aussie Win in NZ in 12 years since the TRIFECTA in the Interdominion at Auckland in 2010. Quinney, Blacks A Fake, Smoken up DQed .

I'm TheMightyQuinn did win the Auckland Cup 2011 and 2013 so that was pretty good for the wild West. but you guys hate Auckland trotting so might not count those. Several of Mark Purdons Auckland Cup winners (about 8 in a row he won with Nat)  including the old marvel Self Assured won Auckland Cups as well and are Australian owned/purchased. 

But Really It's ONLY since 2022 that the Aussies have arrived in bulk to plunder the NZ races,  and Won all your Big races. a trend likely to continue as well.

the strange thing is ,isn't the chair of the hrnz board also on the nz rugby board

You making stuff up again Galah !

The guy you refer to is a Crusaders man.....Canterbury , red and black ! The most one-eyed bunch in the land !

And Rugby certainly been thru the wringer at times , spending more than they earn !

Racing often spoken in the same breathe as racing  , as it once was when there were no alternatives.

Auckland actually were so unbeatable a while back they took the Shield on the road to show the rest of Country, then when Canterbury decided to improve and get out of the cellar ,what did they do........starting importing dozens of great players from Auckland, Northland and Taranaki in particular and sent  others to their feeder team Tasman to add even more depth.

Maybe this should be reversed now and Canterbury can send say 80-100 horses North now. Any horses cos Auckland has the top Stallions ,top trainers and drivers to make their own luck , and become great again !

So send horses and $$$$ North and be a little generous !

TAB, chucking money at a losing cause is always going to end in tears

HRNZ need to stop the folly that putting on races with big stakes is going to work!

They race the wrong way around for a start, they have not got the interest in the harness racing for a variety of reasons.

HRNZ in my humble opinion have not got the right people making the right decisions unfortunately.

Anyone know what has happened to the Committee or was that just wind?
