I am for 1 looking now at shares in aussie trained , raced. The $$$ just don't stack up here for thoroughbred racing
-
Not that I agree with this forum, I read t a maybe setting up a base in aussie
-
If you go to the park Alan, you'll see kids cart races , up and coming juniors coming through, I don't see harness code importing drivers?
-
Very wrong!.
-
Why?
-
Doubt there would've been anyone more influential on nz racing than sir Patrick
-
And how many skilled trainers have got that right?
-
Also Alan, does picking out a yearling take skill or luck?
-
Skill? Define skill
-
Yes in part, but not all
-
Maybe it's not all skilled, but also lifestyle?
-
Satellite stable maybe?
-
It's not a bad drop hesi. Vailima I suppose your talking about?
-
That I understand, but as I've said, wrong management can ruin a business, and it's hard to bring it back. I think harness can survive but it needs total support from all involved, but outside help could be influential , if the proper business acumen got involved

I'm a harness supporter and always will be. My wife isn't a bug racing fan but happy to go the races, she prefers harness cause we can go hail, rain or shine. We can sit and eat comfortably , by Alex park, not crowded space, great view . I think to attract the next gen, technology has to play its part, not total gambling, but oncourse technology,to entice the new generation

Not sure of that Baz. Not in a critical way, but what the boards of some clubs have done by changing things around, which hasn't worked, can't be reversed. You put the wrong people In charge, and looked what's happened. Racing in nz is slowly dying, I for 1 , am looking at other codes to race , also looking at aussie because of the stakes. Add in cost of racing here, and it's in its own demise. Personally, we need to look outside the square, but as other gambling options are frowned upon we really are up a creek ?

Certainly 1 of the very best trainers ever
