brad steele latest question and answer

[the galah]

harnesslink haa an article regarding mr steeles answers to questions posed by b stewart an harnesslink.

maybe its an annual thing.

anyways,whenever i read what mr steele says,and this latest is another example,i have to admire his abilty to not answer questions,but  in a way that still comes across as sounding positive.

mr steele ability to word answers in the way he does, is quite skillful.

for example, when asked if number of mares being bred the past season were up,he said .."a survey showed they were going in the right direction...conversations with studmasters were generally positive....we remain optimistic we will deliver on a much improved result on the prior year...

I mean,a simple yes or no would have been better. Wouldn't hrnz have enough information by now to just give the numbers.

personally i think he gave the answer in the final comment..optimistic for a better result than last year. My guess that means about the same or only just above last year,which of course had been a really bad year.

anyways,that man sure knows how put a good spin on whatever he wants to.

Lol, Galah mustve been a politician at some stage?

Really is that the best HRNZ can do, just a nothing interview ?

Surely he should be able say how many mares had been bred so far without this other BS?

Mentioned Taupo racing as a positive, but didnt mention the elephants in the room!

said more punters effectively but the cost of living is affecting turnover??
Mr Steele it is not the cost of living that is affecting turnover any more than other times!!

You allow the TAB Bookies to stop punters from wagering, you have allowed Entain/ TAB to make poor decisions in regards to several wagering decisions and Trackside production and yet you come out with this??

If they wanted turnover to be increased then it would be exceptionslly easy to do but they would rather restrict it and not encourage wagering!

HRNZ and harness participants are going to get a rude awakening shortly, as too many in the industry are scared to speak up as they will be shown the door.

I'll make a prediction. Mr. Steele will stick around, talking things up until just before the Entain deal runs out, then he will say what a wonderful job he has done and go back to Australia, to leave some other poor sods to handle the fallout from the house of cards he has help create.

for the good of the nation mate. Not many families are financially secure like you and I and BOAY folk.

The more restrictions on the Gambling dollar the better off a lot more people will be. ONE in FIVE NZ families are effected by 'problem gambling' and hard times . Look after Them Mate ! help them out of that hole. 

The horses may have to race for less prizemoney eventually . but so be it !!! . Melton race tonight with some $4000 races. Our Albion races today are for $6,300 . It's just the way it is . 

AMAZINGLY for NZ , the ENTAIN mob came along and put up some dollars that has made NZ racing still very rich and Some of the best Racing on the Planet. First Class Effort by them and HRNZ to do this . Applause for that 😂

UNFORTUNATELY , for Nz trainers owners and drivers, Leap To Fame, Swayzee, Keayang Zahara, Arcee Phoenix, Gus, Kingman , Better Eclipse, Just Believe (and some other Placegetters too ) have completely MUGGED YOU of Hundreds f Thousands of those dollars the past 3 years . 

So a Bit like you blokes heading for the Soup Kitchen from BOAY in depression😋 , the Nz Trainers are packing it in as can't compete with this landslide victory. 🏆

Of course the cost of living effects turnover Brodie . Many,   like my -self even, PAY their bills first and punt later. And not as much as previously as the trainers are failing to SUPPLY runners to Bet On , that are any good😂🤣💰  

The Bright Side ? you still have the Top gun CARTER DALGETY ( and Kentuckiana) having a GO !! and bringing the double Auckland Cup Champion 'Republican Party'  to Australia to try and Mug some Back !!  give him strength.💪
