Has to be more popular than what Addington has; Trotting FFA on Cup Day and then the 3200m Dominion three days later. 1 Quote

So ridiculous as a betting proposition. Horses can go just as quick mile rate wise over 2000m or 1950m 1 Quote

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

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. Quote

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

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. Quote

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? 1 Quote

Brodie Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Seriously, whoever decided to program mile races needs to give themselves an uppercut!! Standing start mile racing?????? Semi miss away and you are out of it!!! What happened to the 1200metre races that Forbury ran?? Thats right just a blatantly dumb idea. Quote
