  1. Incorrect. Self-funded. HRNZ hadn't even approved it as of last week.
  2. Do you have an active TAB account that turns over money?
  3. Less people would have freeview than the internet. By a long, long, long way.
  4. It's about beaming races in to Australia on Mondays and Tuesdays.
  5. Agree the current horse pool does not support it. But, there is a place for these races if the penalties are commensurate with the stake. 1 or 2 rating points for winning a $5k race? I don't know many owners that would say no to that.
  6. It's a $20,000 qualifier.
  7. Ironicially, the Avondale RSA committee voted to sell and move to a smaller location 5 years ago.
  8. Tend to agree. Would be great if Aaron would retire from calling and become a presenter... it's where he is best served.
  9. Granted it covers off most of it. Perhaps Ned Kelly's summation was a bit negative for my liking. I was referring mainly to the fact the land value has been reassessed subsequent to the Annual Report to $21 million, taking it out of on-paper insolvency as noted in said report. I acknowledge you didn't mention the reported insolvency in your summation, so its a moot point.
  10. the story in the Harness Xpress perhaps gives greater context to the situation. I think you are wrong. They are soon to realise the money from 34 parcels in a subdivision. They have invested heavily in infrastructure to create long term rental income. Short term pain, long term gain. Ready funds are light but it's a short-term problem, mainly thanks to the Race by Grins funding shortfall.
  11. 403 individual horses nominated across the 3 meetings. Should be fine.
  12. Only guessing here based on second hand knowledge of the situation, but I would be shocked if he returned to the role.
  13. Brainless Barnes strikes again. Not his first poor move.
  14. I think it's clear what he meant. The next two Palmerston North meetings are one-offs, not two-dayers.
