LongOwner 217 Report post Posted April 5, 2017 Greedy selfish trainers in Auckland have voted themselves continuance of a dole payment from the owners pot . Socialism and looking after one self is not a good message to every owner in NZ . Look in the mirror trainers and see if you have an interest in the sport other than your selfish self ! enteebee and Value Bell 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay 1,719 Report post Posted April 5, 2017 You can't blame the trainers. It's like giving a child a lollipop and then trying to take it away - only result would be tears. If any ones to blame it is the ATC for introducing the payment in the first place! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackSprat 947 Report post Posted April 5, 2017 Who'da thought! At least it will keep a few of the "welfare depentent" trainers afloat until they're eventually forced out of "the park" altogether. This was probably all budgeted for in the very early days of the real estate planning anyway, and the club have to be seen to be doing something thats racing based!

Blue 1,095 Report post Posted April 6, 2017 It's not hard to work out that harness racing at Alex Park is for entertainment for those who want it and want to take part at the moment. It's not a money making enterprise and comes a very poor second to the spoils of real estate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted April 6, 2017 Surely owners are talking to their trainers about this and suggesting it is recognised in training fees ???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongOwner 217 Report post Posted April 12, 2017 Not one person has messaged saying they strongly disagree with my sentiments - out of nearly 560 views . Therefore I guess the 38 trainers should reconsider their decision - the more affected side of the equation were again ignored - the owner ! Trainers how about showing some moral fortitude and reverse this selfish decision - 38 versus 560 is not good odds . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongOwner 217 Report post Posted April 22, 2017 Now 38 trainers v's 945 views with no comment disagreeing. Maybe ATC board should act as they were appointed to do and make the decision they want. They were not put there to listen to one side who have a vested interest. No trainers social welfare payment but mininium stakes increase to $10 k !
