and yet you talk about them like Brodie these days . that they're all rubbish and should be shut down with so few horse left racing ?? they're all due for retirement . They've all Served the industry THEIR WHole Lives and at the Very Top level .  I've seen Barry winning Miracle Miles even lol. Yet this site Shows NO APPRECIATION of their magnificent achievements and wants them shown the door ? because the South Island is Better quality racing ? lol. 😅😉

a lovely send off for the absolute world champions of the sport. piss off Tony H. south Island is better. they still have standing starts and 15 horse fields . what quality that is for modern times lol. 😂  no room for you old mate .😁  sorry Galah , just a bit of 'Gamma' sarcasm to try and be cheery lol😋

 

i don't mind a bit of sarcasm. .

only thing is,you have said many times that you belive the first pararaph.

you are consistent.Always,focusing on the desparate plight of harness racings rich and famous,worried about where they may get their next meal from if the north island stakes were to be cut, or hrnz was to say,no more 5 horse fields. You've got me feeling sorry for them as well. I will put in a kind word if is see them at the foodbank next week and will drop and email to brad steele and voice my support for more 3 horse fields and 50,000 series,whatever they call them. 

theres my bit of sarcasm.

i'll be honest like you gamma. 

i don't give a second thought to just how tough it could be for harness racings  rich and famous. Why. Because they are rich and famous.

i care far more about the battlers and the small timers who have also spent their lifetimes dedicated to the same industry and haven't the wealth or had success to any great level,but kept plugging away because of their love for the sport and the horse.

good on ATC still putting stuff on for those wonderful horsemen I say. should be applauded. 

 

 

yeah,great stuff ATC. eroding their asset base by half a million a month for the last couple of years is something to really applaud. Well done ATC.

Oh and well done cambridge.they know how to dig themselves into a huge financial hole as well. Well done to them.

And well done hrnz. You know how to pick the best run clubs to throw the industries financial resources at. Come in atc and cambridge.

I know what you're saying. But really with the money they pour in (buying yearlings and that ) I can only support the rich and famous , as much as the battler. I hope they all get a win in the end. not many of them actually return a profit in the end , but have fun racing a few . afterall it is a sport and is about enjoyment as well as money.

The quality of the horsepeople in the Nrth Island is off the scale high. Only a small band left and people like Tony Herlihy are the most humble wonderful people I have ever met. I am glad they put races on for him still in his twilight years . sure they're not battlers (any of those trainers left) but HOW good For the Sport have they been Over the years.

Just amazing really. I love watching the NZ trotting still, and those bloes. Probably the saddest silly thing I do is seeing how you have given up on em' (after being really supportive up to a couple of years ago ) but Brodster has weakened you into his Bag everyone (ATC, Entain, HRNZ, North Island ) narrative , when really the product being produced is >

STILL WORLD CLASS , and you can't see it . Bring on the next Cambridge night of Champions I say !! who doesn't love seeing the best go round ?  everyone except me it seems lol 😅😂🤣  never mind. we all have faults lol.
