Taku Umanga reacted to iwmcn in How we can save harness racing in the CD - Manawatu's solution
Stables. show me another region in NZ o/t Central Districts who have lost their anchor club (Hutt Park) 20 years ago and survived without Industry hand outs.
These guys have kept the sport alive in their region , rekindledi interest and are rewarded by their peers with a kick in the guts. ie closure.
To consider no racing between Christchurch and Cambridge is non sensical AND WOULD DO UNREAPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE SPORT OF HARNESS RACING.
My advice is to maintain the STATUS QUO for now haven given notice to ALL stakeholders that closure is on the cards IF agreed terms and conditions are not met IN THE FUTURE,
Form a CD consortium ,,allocate a set number of dates to cover the region and let them work it where and when with the 12 month deadline.
Let the stakeholders determine their own future.
Dont just shut the door on them. After all what is another 12 months. Not much to ask.
Given this region is the most effected by the dates I submit that in equity they should be given an extended period to review their future.
If we want a future we must encourage growth. not by killing an established sport in a large educational city, or solid kids cart base .
Give them 12 months and review the position.
The new motorway from Wellington to open next year will slash the transit time providing NEW MARKET opportunities. eg .Creating a one hour drive from the affluent Kapiti Coast for the affluent
and (or bored ) retirees on the Kapiti Coast. Bus trips on Tuesday afternoons. could be a regular feature. ? Endless unexplored. potental.t
At least let the Consortium explore these opportunities before you can it.
PS Stables. Find fault with this approach.

Taku Umanga reacted to Mikie in RIDA and Winny
Stables. can you tell me what RITA did to reduce costs before Covid19?
While I’m asking questions could you tell me what will happen if ATC lose their Court case and their Track? How many race days can Cambridge run?

Taku Umanga reacted to Ludwig in "Those Clubs might race at alternative Venues"
The poor wee Auckland petals are rather sad. No concept of what heartland, community based racing is all about. And sadly, geography is not their forte.

Taku Umanga reacted to Mikie in "Those Clubs might race at alternative Venues"
I wonder why Nelson got dates instead of Marlborough?
Their major sponsor is who?
And who is employed by that major sponsor?

Taku Umanga reacted to eljay in ATC makes the hard calls
Cartman42 - you miss my point. Which is no revenue. Certainly not sufficient. What is "negativity?" Surely "reality" is not negativity?

Taku Umanga got a reaction from fermoy in Horse exodus begins with cloud over stakes
Fair call - I choose not to until I see what the the new season brings

Taku Umanga got a reaction from john legend in Horse exodus begins with cloud over stakes
Ok - I'll use that reasoning when the farrier, transporter, vet and feed merchant bills come in.... should work right?

Taku Umanga reacted to 2Piper in hrnz to close most tracks !
I must say that Rangiora does have the best dual grass/all weather course combo in Canterbury. It also gets the race day crowds like most of the country meets .

Taku Umanga reacted to Nelli in Alex Park even caters for the Ghosts
On Trackside last night twice I saw people posing with winning horses at Alexandra Park. They didn't appear to be trainers or stablehands. It was not a good look with current protocols in place to keep our industry going through these tough times.

Taku Umanga got a reaction from A Poutama in Auckland noms Friday
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?

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!

Taku Umanga reacted to Mikie in Ben Hope
Gruff
No argument from me. In order for a Forum to survive it needs opinions, it needs facts, it needs stories, it needs posters that agree and disagree with each other, it needs all of these
What it doesn't need is a tasteless comment added after congratulating Tim on a winning drive
Nina is right, it is akin to online bullying given the target is young and probably impressionable
For 'JJ' to say Nina has taken his comment out of context is pathetic and childish. The comment stands alone, it can't be taken out of context
My opinion, once I view the race that the thread originated upon, may well be that the drive on Luella was poor. If I think it was then I might offer my opinion as to that.
"JJ" too is allowed his opinion. He can even have an opinion that a Driver might not possess the ability to be a top Driver. He is certainly allowed to state that too
The drive isn't the problem. His opinion isn't the problem. It is the vile jab the was added that is the crux of the matter

Taku Umanga reacted to Nina Hope in Ben Hope
I have seen first hand what online bullying can do....suicide is real! It does happen. And I am not going to sit by and not look out for my boy! People need to think before they post...some of the things said online bloody hurt...

John Dunn not Greg Hope assisted Ben on this matter. Greg flipping out as you call it was directed at one particular stipe on a totally different matter. Dont believe everything you read and don’t assume you know all the facts.
