3000m Cup the first day and Nelson Pine Classic over 1 Mile the second day.

I think that will be a popular move. 

Has to be more popular than what Addington has; Trotting FFA on Cup Day and then the 3200m Dominion three days later.

Mile racing in NZ should be banned.

So ridiculous as a betting proposition.

Horses can go just as quick mile rate  wise over 2000m or 1950m

Agree,draw usually dictates the winning of the races, I certainly wont be having a bet in any mile races.

Ranga wasn’t aimed at Nelson.

Was a statement to say that mile racing in NZ should be banned.

Cambridge are Into it on Friday night and that is just blatantly dumb decision by the programming people involved.

What is this fixation on mile racing that some of these clubs are now entering into?

Total turnoff and racing over a distance is what makes NZ racing so much better than other countries who race over the short distances.

I disagree.

PS: This thread is about Nelson, New Zealand.

Of course you can disagree, at the end of the day the punters will be the voters!

Mile racing in the U.S.A is boring and it is here as well.

If you are out the back you have got no show unless you are a total freak.

do you mean barrier draw wise or individual horses racing pattern wise

Ranga no point discussing it with you, it is a New Year!

Mile racing is drab and not a great punting option for  serious punters.

Timaru yesterday was far better racing than what Cambridge or Auckland will offer with their crap miles.

We shall see the merit of mass mile racing tomorrow, including a couple from a stand, tomorrow.

The debate shall be settled.

Harness Racing Clubs are trying to self destroy themselves!,,

What is the flippen point in racing over a damn mile?

Far too short distance and being so short if you are out the  back the front ones aren’t going to be coming back to you!,,

Is the blatantly stupid program planning coming from HRNZ or the clubs?
