We need more and more owners for harness racing to survive in NZ.

Canterbury are very lucky to have enthusiasts who give up plenty of time to run syndicates and try and entice new owners in go racing!

Nigel Armstrong and Andrew Fitzgerald are doing a great job in in regards to this.

Andrew gas a lot more horses being races under his Off n Racing banner , both harness and gallopers.

He always explains what the buy in cost is and the monthly charges, and he doesnt have any trouble in selling out the shares in the horses.

If you dont like the terms then dont buy into it, and clearly HRNZ has no issues in what he is doing!

personally dont think we should be knocking enthusiasts who are genuinely trying to help harness racing.

Stonewall also syndicate some of their horses with plenty of owners and their costs and charges are a lot more expensive and yet they havent been mentioned?

You are on the money Broadster.
 

 I have seen Mr Fitzgerald dance after one of his horses won. I’m not sure the Broadster would approve of his on course dance moves.

 Nothing wrong with seeing owners celebrate after any win!

we need to see more of owners celebrating after any win on Trackside.

Correct.

They are gambling with other peoples money and not their own.

At the end of the day if it is working for the TAB with new punters and increased turnover from what they wouldve got, then its ok!
