ngakonui grass Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 According to the Waikato Times,this years Boxing Day races at Pirongia have been cancelled,or as the Pirongia boss says ''put to sleep''. Blames dwindling crowds,harness racing only,high compliance costs and those pesky Boxing Day sales. What a choice,a day in the hot sun at the races(with limited shelter) or a stroll around an air conditioned mall with many varieties of food and drink waiting to be sampled.

This so illustrates the reason why Racing has lapsed into oblivion, slowly but surely over the last 30 years........a total inability to compete with others for the leisure and entertainment dollar. If you can't compete, then FFS do something about it, so you can, don't just let it happen........there is heaps of money in racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryb Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Pure and simple, H&S buggered this when Harness only was allowed. Harness is bad enough and then when you can’t bet it has nothing going for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
