  1. .... heard somewhere that all sporting events will be "crowdless"
  2. Agreed - Harness Racing leadership has been seriously lacking!
  3. Fair call - I choose not to until I see what the the new season brings
  4. Ok - I'll use that reasoning when the farrier, transporter, vet and feed merchant bills come in.... should work right?
  5. No cloud over stakes anymore ..... https://www.hrnz.co.nz/news/industry-update/
  6. Is it even worth ATC opening under a level 2 or 3 lockdown? Since they're likely to be public excluded events, bars, pokies and totes won't be open. Surely offering bigger stakes to "trump" Cambridge will see even bigger losses that they face now. Racing should recommence asap, but should be held at venues with historically strong off course turnover in my opinion.
  7. ..... and the North Canterbury horse population should be pretty healthy
  8. A fine example of self-entitlement if that's the case and a great way to assist having the game shut down for the time being.
  9. If that's the case then ATC needs a kick up the arse!
  10. Andre nailed it - you soon get tired of drawing poorly over a mile with the average horse and getting nowhere as a result - ATC made it clear a while back that they really only want to cater for the “good” horses .... how’s that working out for them?
  11. In my experience, they don't often get many extra noms by extending the time. That's because they're not pro-actively chasing them by ringing trainers - they just seem to sit back and hope!
  12. Auckland = 58 noms Addington = 136 Banks Peninsula (grass) = 213
  13. .... that team driving backfired on them!
  14. Des Coppins still calls horses with the "Waingaro" prefix "Wayne Garo" - has done for years!

    What a "dick" comment!
  16. Two meetings in the north this week - total nominations 180. Three meetings in the south this week - total nominations 577. Post copied from another site, but sounds about right and seriously worrying for the north. Another 7 race programme at Alexandra Park and could've been worse if Sunday's Cambridge meeting was on the grass!
  17. Nothing nasty in that post and nothing to do with social media. It's in the public domain for all to see. https://www.bsa.govt.nz/decisions/all-decisions/chilcott-and-television-new-zealand-ltd-2013-056/?fbclid=IwAR0aVkBAhHqKN7yMheiqaNrsImrOE8jD8GPeA9RyQv5CWLSXs3ueMlnYHNE
  18. I'm told that a former employee will be getting the blame for the "mistake" this time. Isn't this her 3rd (maybe more) positive swab? Plus a criminal conviction (oh sorry - another mistake): https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10852253 What a great Team Teal Ambassador!
  19. Poor attendance not surprising if little marketing was done ..... clubs fault if that proves to be the case.
  20. http://www.jca.org.nz/non-race-day-hearings/request-for-ruling-riu-v-n-a-chilcott-decision-dated-23-january-2020-chair-mr-b-j-scott
  21. Forget Tuesday - where are the horses and owners going to come from to battle Auckland traffic during the week for lesser stakes - they don't come now for the big dollars? They should be racing there every Sunday during the day.

  23. Kiss goodbye to the majority of owners then!
