I suggest that in future years the Auckland Cup stake be reduced to $450,000 and that the horses finishing 6th to 18th get a $3850 discount on their entry fee. To the owners that would be great. It would save 3/23 of $50,050 in GST viz $6528.26; and it would save the owners $7500 in percentages. So the perennial payers would be $14,228.26 better off. This scheme is so simple that there must be some reason why it is not tried. Please tell me where I am wrong. If I am right I would be willing to have ARC member 64846 donate the $43.48 (20/23 of the extra $50 cost) the Club would be missing out on. -
If this is the trend for the future of the 2 year old racing in the north then the ATC have only 3 options: 1) - do not run separate races for fillies and colts/geldings as this obviously halves the pool 2) - run this series later say March or April 3) - scrap it I'm sure the owners trainers breeders and auctioneers don't want the latter option! -

I don’t mind being suspended ... mind you I don’t mind the blindfold and gag either, as long as there’s a safe word like pineapple .. but let’s be absolutely clear, pineapple is only a safe word ... it’s not a sex toy, well it might be a toy in Cambridge but not in the Viaduct -

Not sure about that, there’s two sides to every story I tried to run a comp for Cafe and used the word “nillers” to describe the residents I wanted to exclude from over at the now nearly defunct oxidation pond .... I’m told by my usual reliable sources that Maria decided I shouldn’t be allowed to tell the truth when describing those poxy nillers, the low pricks they are, so she edited my post accordingly, and I withdrew my generous offer ... she’s no great loss As always I’m happy to put up a generous prize for a late summer ( Karaka Million up until Easter Monday ) “losers get laid” if someone will score it ... usual rules though, no nillers from over at the oxidation pond -
Agree with that statement that Maria was the best and maybe we didn’t appreciate all the work done by her at the time. That is a shame.

I’m sure someone would be keen to score if there was an incentive. Seems like a lot of work for very little in return. -
FO Ted, your guy in another class good but not excellent - has a long way to go to be great like CWJ -

Kinda shocking Tim........I guess with the calendar thru November [ Cup week ] , December [Interdoms & Auckland Cup ] ,now into sales Prep for 2020 the few in North who have 2 yr olds are too busy or too cautious to show their hand or don't want to risk their ponies too early ! I recall at least 10 going around in trials up north etc. The shortage of horses snowballs as a huge concern.....obviously this Young Gun series event had to be run for $25k with only 4 starters as horses entered as foals. ATC had only 83 entries for 9 races ,and a $20k F & M races only had 3 nominations ! In addition Rotorua Trots on Sunday had only 113 entries for 11 races ,with 3 races having 7 or less[ 1 with 5 ! ]. The 113 would include some of the 83 for ATC. A concerted push to get more horses in North ,and keep them free from the active sellers in the area , seems like a crucial goal for those at the helm of ATC........Harness Racing should be still at the top of their priorities ! Small fields make the betting options less attractive and give folk even more reason for not attending the course ! I think this weekend the Trots clash with Black Caps cricket , the Karaka on Saturday. Maybe ATC has done a 'cross promotion' with the Karaka attendees? Shame the Blues couldn't play a pre-season game at Alexandra Park , morphing into a night at Trots ! Meanwhile in the South...the NZ Met has 146 noms for 10 races...1 with 23 ,1 with 21 . And on Sunday Banks Peninsula has 189 noms for 10 races.....some repeats with NZ Met , but still mighty plentiful plus so soon after 2 x days at Marlborough . -
Thanks Ab for replying, I'm actually quite happy with the email notification but there does appear to be some faulty logic in the limited ways to add new names. Hoping one of the hierarchy might see this and do something about it! -
