I suppose the 35 odd that P&R have entered make all the difference but above all the day promises to be full of interest given the quality and the stakemoney.

Fartoomuch 1,376 Report post Posted January 1, 2018 Call me old fashioned but i thought it was a marvelous meeting. 12 races and 12 winners and everyone had chances to enhance their P and L. Long live the All Stars, bloody great for the game IMHO. Spikecity and Steve Paul 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the major spoils go to the one stable, then the other stables owners miss out and will eventually say to hell with it, if we can’t win any big races we won’t bother breeding horses to race or owners won’t buy at the sales! Will be a very interesting sales series this year again won’t it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmH 40 Report post Posted January 1, 2018 I know I don't always with you Brodie but I agree with you in this instance. I went to my local meeting at Winton yesterday and the spoils were shared around in fact we even let the Cantabrians have a couple of wins!! The point I am making that everyone shared in the success from small time owners to bigger owners to syndicates. There was competitive racing and competitive betting and the crowd were happy. With this kind of "grass roots" racing every-one actually feels they have a chance unlike the inevitability of the big race meetings where you know you are prob only racing for a place at best. globederby12 and enteebee 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay - so you've told us you don't like the big cup meetings - fine. But you haven't told us what is the fix! Regardless of the size of the stake, these good horses will win, and win dominantly. The NZ, Auckland Cup, Easter Cup, Rowe Cup, Dominion etc. etc. etc. are a part of Harness history for well over 100 years, and now you want to scrap them? I'm sorry but I am sure if this did happen, thats the last we would ever see these champions and NZ Harness Racing would become as boring as a Dog Race with 7 "Good Time" starters!!

The fact is that you always want to denigrate others who have an opinion which is different from yours. its 2018 and those that support P and N deserve every success they get because they are paying for the best. The rest have to rise above not the best drop their standards and performance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
