It is quite simple Stables

You said "owners could get more of their costs back by not paying out huge amounts in transport fees"

That begs the question, why did they have to which is what you have been asked and finally answered, they didn't have to

What you are now doing is called semantics I think

Our trotters trained at Cambridge often started their careers in Taranaki even if they ended as solely 'Auckland'  and 'Cambridge' horses. Its tough for novice trotters to learn their craft when race after race they have experienced horses rushing past them from standing starts. The trip away and racing in weaker fields with the slower pace helped educate and build confidence. Throwing novice trotters in at the deep end works for some but for many owners and punters, their optimism is dashed in the 1st 200 m. We used to enjoy the picturesque drive down often staying several nights to enjoy what the region had to offer. All gone .....sigh.

Totally agree Nelli. Good on you, you chose to go, you didn't have to. Now you will have no choice
