Mr Blue sounds like a sensible chap. If the asset is owned by the local community, then it's their decision, no one else's, to decide what happens to it. It is not up to an idiot in govt to tell them how to dispose of it. -
I presume this is where the future venue plan comes in to play. Lower costs to race at the second tier meetings could still make a $10k to S15k attractive and achievable. There are a lot of pieces that need to work together and while the codes debate at select committee this whole ship might hit the rocks. -
There's the difference as I'm not a punter at all. Its enough of a gamble being an owner and breeder! Did in the past have big punting co-owners (trotters and pacers) and generally wasn't a comfortable fit since horse could do top run but they'd be cursing and bad tempered as their bets hadn't come through. So now anyone we ask into a partnership are just small time punters and we have much more fun. Also had winner at Claudelands - race 10 in the rain and slush!. The Club put on great family-orientated meetings, especially Christmas eve. -

Lets face it , no Clubs are going to close their doors. The history is still too strong and emotions raw, and there's nothing wrong with that at the end of the day. What say we take on board a bit of Australian nous. City and Country Racing. Maybe we can bump up the Stakes for City meetings and for the Country Clubs , if you aren't going to sell your tracks and assets , then be prepared for a lower tier of Racing Stakes. Then we can see who survives and who fails but at least you have given yourselves a chance to survive. The smaller Clubs (Country) don't need to cater for crowds so let the Racing speak for itself. If your horse can't cut it in City grade then you may make ends meet by going through the Country grades. I know , less Stakes but I'm sure you can make it work , ok the stakes maybe down on what they are now but let's think positively and know this system will work , working towards raising stakes if it works. Ok, so the other side of the coin is City Racing and we can debate the Main Clubs, good grief they can sort that out for sure. The Stakes would be inherently better than what they are now and the downside is , if your horse doesn't cut the mustard then there's the Country circuit. Hell that could even work for successful Country Clubs to maybe even make it to a City status down the line. Here's hoping because what we're doing at the moment is simply not working. Rugby Racing and Beer............. Rugby is in shit street too. Racing ...............say no more Beer , yes not the domain of DB and Lion anymore is it , it's craft beer everywhere you look Cheers -
High-class mare Yearn will contest Saturday’s Lisa Chittick Plate (1400m) at Matamata and trainer Karen Fursdon is confident of another bold performance. The last-start Gr.1 Thorndon Mile (1600m) placegetter is in career best form, having won the Gr.2 Auckland Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1400m) in late November and finished within a length of the winner in […]View the full article -

She's getting desperate , this was disproved long ago . " Public health officials are denying Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's claim human waste breached the walls of south Auckland's Middlemore Hospital. But the prime minister is refusing to back down, with her office on Wednesday issuing a statement saying the comment is in line with remarks by Counties Manukau District Health Board's former acting chief executive. Middlemore Hospital denies Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's 'sewage down walls' claim CMDHB, which in 2019 said such claims were untrue, has now responded to the prime minister's statement. Despite the dramatic language used previously around sewage issues at Middlemore Hospital, the sewage leaks were small," a spokeswoman said. She confirmed one incident in the Scott Building in November 2017, but said it was the result of a cracked sewer pipe joiner. Pipe joinery also required replacement in one of Middlemore's retail areas in October 2017. " NOW this whole beat up was used before the last election and was disproved then , comrade cindy is just rehashing complete crap , she doesn't know what she is doing . -

Hang on , that's the same sort of assumption that Blue has made . "The Stratford Racing Club was started by a small group of local farmers and businessmen who acted as guarantors for a loan from the Bank of Australasia which was used to purchase a property to be developed as a racecourse on the edge of the town in the 1880s." SO the club in this case paid for the track with the help of people who loved racing . There are plenty of examples around the country where land was donated by businessmen and farmers who wanted to see racing thrive , travel in those days was challenging . My question is , why is the assumption being made that these long gone people would rather see tracks handed over to people in the community that have no interest in racing and certainly won't help develop it . I would argue that these track donor's / financial backers / farmers would turn in there graves if their work and generosity was handed over to councils rather than investing in racing for the good of the sport they loved . In short hand it over for the good of racing , that's what those who established racing would want . -

Just goes to show how long a horse can stay competitive racing like with like and further accentuates the sad state of harness racing in New Zealand. -
Trump wouldn’t respond...they are Trump / staff driven conspiracy theories.....and all these mugs fall for it. Very little on Fox... there’s a surprise..... -
Hard to judge if you don't see them in the flesh and if you're watching on computer or TV you have to guage their size against that of the leader. Didn't see a lot today but couldn't believe nobody wanted the colt by SBSW out of Luisanabelle Midfrew. A snip at $5K I'd have thought unless there was something obviously wrong with him.

If racing people going to strike it needs to think , what pressure can I put onto what target with what cost to the target and what cost to racing people striking , taking into account collateral damage to friendly forces so to speak ie clubs, battling owners to achieve an aim that is considered reasonable. No real big owners here that would really pull weight if they withdrew horses entered up for prolonged period .Any owners here would feel pinch real quick with no alternative racing so it would have to be collective action . Syndicates would have to be mindful if playing strike games with other people's horses, that would be a turn off next syndication cycle . So what's the plan , target a club , enter large numbers then scratch the whole lot and force late canning of meeting . So who wins there . Avondale went west today honestly who really cared just punt on the better OZ racing and Sports bet , punters won't miss the 7 races Riccarton Friday either , why not target Karaka Million meeting for strike action that might make news . Scratch every horse late on that will show them , max up the disruption that way , bit of mutually assured destruction . -
Quite a few fireworks at today's sale. Not least was the 270K lot we were sitting a table away from some major players who showed no interest in it at the time. Some stallions definitely on borrowed time from what vendors told me Greg -
Totally agree , but Foxton would seem to be dead and buried as a racing venue , seems the improvements might be to ensure a regular trials venue for CD , i hope not as Foxton was a huge asset for central district racing during winter and could be again and always attracted a very good oncourse attendance . Completely wasted but the fires served their purpose for those that wanted track closures . I'm sure if it had been Palmy , Trentham or Hastings the powers that be would have bent over backwards to get it up and going ASAP . -
