The big problem is TAB set up cost for one meeting in Thames etc Get a summer circuit organised or back to back meetings with a day in between then maybe grass tracks will work in NI . $40 k TAB set up for one meeting doesn’t work !

Some wanted the first day all trotters - which I would agree to as it would of meant a day I didn’t have to look at / worry about Kaikoura has been 2 days for a couple of years - because of cost .

Mikie 325 Report post Posted January 19, 2020 I was under the impression that each Club now gets charged their own setup costs Tim? Kaikoura would therefore pay theirs Mikie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john legend 735 Report post Posted January 19, 2020 40000 SET up what the .ya dreaming Jonesy !! (more like 10000)just an excuse to not bother. I should contract the set up if they want to pay 40000) The cake just keeps getting smaller. top drivers head for usa or Aus. even trainers see overseas better management therefore opportunities.Wake up HRNZ/etc before its too late.

Haven't heard from Spicer for a while - does that mean he is on a full time expenses paid holiday or doing everything behind closed and locked doors? john legend and Hunter the punter 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spicer is an example of why harness is poorly governed and thus fails to reach its potential. Greg Hunter the punter 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
