talk 308 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Most logical step. Te Akau very quite, but must be considering similar move. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if all Te Akau shares subscribed one would imagine many paid just a deposit. Both Australia and NZ there could be Bart Cummings type situations.

Blue 1,095 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Dont really see that Baz much as I might like to. Just have to bite the bullet on this one. Will change the shape of racing until the new season at least. Not enough fit horses to make up fields and any marginal performers will probably retire to Gavelhouse. I think we'll see growing numbers there imho. Gotta break eggs if you want to make an omelette.
