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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree certain races that were traditionally mile races were great and a good novelty but this continual push for sprint racing is a total turn off ....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
