Poor coverage on 'electronic media'. No feed of trials, sale results, nothing. Go to publicised NSWHRC website http://www.nswhrc.com.au/triallingsale or http://www.nswhrc.com.au/triallingsa...onditions.html and see.... "Sorry, nothing to display. You are looking for an empty page. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Websites all appear when you Google them...click on the link..ta ta.
In this day and age??
Agreed Paul. I hear the website crashed. It might be back on again in the morning if that is any consolation!
The recent Puppy Auction at Richmond Greyhounds (NSW) was telecast on SKY and from what I hear was much more interesting/better managed than the GRV series in Victoria which lots of people still also raved about. A syndicate of 100 I was involved with bought 3 dogs through the GRV sale for $25,000 (100 x $250 shares) and shareholders received a cheque for $405 each at the wind-up which means $40,000 returned to owners including the on sale prices of the dogs, and minus the trainers 50/50 cut so they have probably earned about $60,000 between them.
Point is you can structure something for a large amount of people for a reasonable cost - and if they understand when going in that they might not see their money again - $250 is not a lot of $$ in today's environment.
Seems to me unless you are one of those in the industry who are actively breeding or looking to buy you don't hear much about these sales. Given the cost effectiveness of a syndicate buying into one at the sales I would have thought some mainstream media coverage/advertising would be critical elements of the budget for APG etc. I feel anyone reading Harness Racing Weekly would probably know when the sales are on for example.
It will be good if HRW does go online as suggested on HRNSW Media Centre Kyle. The days of people forking out for a paper that is 90% form guides is fast fading.
Well I heard the trotter I liked went for $61,000 a lot of money for a 2yo trotter
Nathan Jack said on twitter he is looking to syndicate one bought for $71,000
Does anyone know the results for this sale?
