Actually I was top of the class in mathematics and won an award once. My mother still has the certificate to prove it. Anyway I don't mind being proven wrong and enjoy learning new ways of thinking so if you could explain how 19 cents in the dollar off a dividend differs from 19% off, that would be great. -
A rocket that'll launch them just high enough to get to the top of the stand like previously 🤣 -

No. Where did I say that? Improving that is much more likely to be helpful than placing a levy on exports imo though I'm not sure I'm clear about what you are suggesting one has to do with the other.. -

So you think running around for the shyte we do now in the lower grades makes people want to jump in to the industry...you must be kidding. -
\For some reason, Trackside won't carry the cameras upstairs anymore and use the position on top of the stand. we now have to put up with the shot from the lowest level of the grandstand in the public area. Hawera , the same story. Someone needs to put a rocket up them for it. -

Yes. And you would be essentially be placing a levy on the costs of breeding or buying and developing the horse, not just on the profit. It might well cause the owners, trainers and traders in that business to say that instead of selling 6 horses a year, we now need to sell 10, thus having the opposite effect to that intended. The suggestion doesn't make an iota of sense to me from a business standpoint or for the good of NZ racing. -

I haven't submitted my entry yet. That was probably the only winner I'd have got 🤣

He sounds a bit dopey. Probably best to just ignore him. -

Top class Group 1 mare...she will be winning plenty more if she stays in one piece. -

I assume you mean speaking...the owners should be happy they have a decent horse...what did he do wrong today in your "expert" opinion. -

Raise low end stakes and stop over inflating the high end for no gain. If you can run in OZ for a AU$38k maiden then we need to get over $25k for the first two wins in a career. There is certainly no incentive to import OZ bred yearlings and long term that will diminish the NZ breed. So those distortions need to be removed. Putting essentially taxes on export horse sales won't achieve anything. Those that will be penalised most are the smaller breeders who need it most. -
Had her chance , got a great split at the top of the straight and just plodded on , found well the last 100 , as Blue says maybe the cup .

Well when you think of the numbers that are sold out of trials and early race performance , it would still be in the hundreds per year , so suppose we could keep 30/40 of those horses here , we would lose some to normal attrition , but if we could do that year on year on year after 5 years we could have 150+ horses that have proven they can gallop and could progress to better class racing . We won't be able to stop the high hundreds of thousands and million dollar sales , I'm talking those that could be between 100k and 250k . Even with those numbers our racing is better . I haven't got all the answers but get enough people thinking about a solve and some smart ideas will come from it . Doing nothing like we are and things stay the same .

First thing to understand PS is that Allstars, as we knew them are finished, done, kaput ! While the current team certainly have some ability in the area of horsemanship, the golden days of Mark & Natalie are now assigned to history and I'd bet we won't see performances like they produced for a looooonngg time, if ever. -
Arrogance is evil and assumptions are the mother of all F ups . I know who you are. And I am specking from the point of view of a fellow owner that loves following this game and have watch this mare from the beginning of her career. Knowing how hard the game is I commented from that point of view of an owner (not even of the horse in question don’t know the owners or any connections ) not the pocket chief -
I backed her. Just didn't seem good enough on the day (like nearly everything else I backed!). Not sure you could blame the ride.
-
Didn't back her but watching closely as I think the Cup is her main target. Just mho.
