Newmarket Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 Yeah, as for turnovers. In the 80s, you never had overseas gambling sites, casinos or sports betting. So never gonna be like the golden years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So never gonna be like the golden years Young people mostly are not looking to wager on harness racing!! The industry has not promoted itself well enough over the last couple of decades and this has been hugely detrimental as well as the poor treatment to many punters who have been very loyal to them for many decades!! Reality is that the industry is in serious trouble and anyone that says that it isn’t, has their eyes closed. There are next to no new trainers coming through now as there is barely a living in it for trainers unless they are able to win regularly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaman Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Very well said Galah. I think 1 million offcourse is pathetic as well, which would include all these devise bets oncourse. It was a Sunday with very little outside competition and the day was fine. Trotting meetings 30 years ago were doing 1 million. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think they understand Harness racing has so much going for it yet they promote nothing. We have a huge history as illustrated by the three wise men promotion by methven in the weekend some great horse's yip horse's and a very approachable work force who we don't promote, sorry I could go on but I'd only get more frustrated. Nice to see that HRNZ had a link to one of your segments. it was in a part that seemed a bit obscure,For those who aren't familiar with the unhinged content,it was at the end of the story on hrnz website about boarding call. The segment was about stephs boy's win and referenced the person who connections wore the black arm band for. There are often many very interesting and colourful characters shown,both equine and human. Ideally it would be nice to have a spot on the hrnz website like they do each week for the whales selections. I think it would get a lot of people viewing it. But it was progress and good to see.

Well that's a surprise, fingers crossed it's the start of more to come, as you know I don't get paid and don't want to for anything I do for harness Racing, I just love it like you guys . Emotion is the key to selling our sport today Johnny Turner interviewed Graham Sinnamon after his horse won today if you get a chance go to Southern Harness Racing on face book and watch it . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just looked at the southern harness racing interview. Captured the moment very well. I wasn't actually aware southern harness had anything like that,and not being a user of facebook had assumed it wasn't available to view to non facebook users. I know how to see your content,but had thought being able to view yours was not the norm for facebook stuff. Theres some people doing great work out there to promote the sport,its just a matter of getting it on the hrnz website so that people can see it.
