Menangle

Has Menangle moved? 42 of the 68 starters on Sat night have an NZ on the end of their name.

Don't fear Grant the $500 breeders bonus will rectify this situation.

Just wait for another 5 years and they will be all Australian bred.

If it wasnt for NZ bred horses in this country we wouldn't have an industry.

And if that doesn't work we can always create a tax on imports.

:cool:

I believe a tax would be a violation of free trade agreement between Aust and NZ. Its simply the administration costs being recovered.

Exactly right. The colts, fillies, geldings get spoilt with state of the art coloured printer ink and the latest and greatest range of Reflex paper for their documentation, while the poor mares only get a little bit of pencil and a stick it note to say they are now in Aust. Which is what explains the difference in the admin costs.

And the 4 yo mares get a big birthday cake from HRA when they turn 5yo. I am still waiting for the delivery, I check the mail every day.
