Yes I will get hammered by some saying that they are trying to vary the programmes and the trainers love them!! Just very average racing that gives the horses out the back coming wide, no chance! At the end of the day without the punters, racing is dead in the hole! Great that people are trying to get racing up again and it ks very welcomed! However programming these crazy short distance racing is not the way to improve things. Many of the horses today that placed, just shows what a terrible decision it is!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never let the facts get in the way, as we all know when you put two harness meetings on the same time turnover suffers in them both. Yip that is often correct but whats this Methven turnover just short of 1.2 Million, must be some mistake, Brodie sadly off the money 💰.

Each to their own. I quite like that mile meeting it is something different and still has big fields on grass so no complaints from me! Wouldn't run it all the time but once every now and then is good I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always get these figures quoted about turnover and I do not bother checking it as I do not know where it comes from! The win and Place pools in the races I looked at were poor and it can not be economical to be racing for the stake money being paid out! Of the $1.2m supposed turnover how much would that provide harness racing NZ to enable the stakes to be paid? Was the racing yesterday over the short distances fairer for the horses than the normal middle distance racing? Not on your nally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
