DISASTER Averted Classicfamilies.net is NOT being taken off-line

http://classicfamilies.net/

Keep reading later posts and you will see that the Averted was added later

This is pretty much the greatest resource we have in the harness racing industry and the envy of the gallops world BUT we have at present lost it because they cannot find a sponsor

Come on Studs, Sales Companies, National and State bodies this cannot be allowed to happen

Do whatever it takes, drop the sponsorship of a race, band together, raid the piggy bank, .....

Could they sell subscriptions?

HELP! HELP! HELP!

I am devastated

I agree Kev, perhaps the studs and sales companies don’t want it, they’ve had plenty of time to step up, and well the site is perhaps best for dispelling the myths that both perpetuate. The governing bodies will say they have their own database, nowhere near as good of course, but try telling them that about anything.

So subscriptions or pop up adds it might have to be.

In the meantime I guess I may get some more chores done.......

I hope to get a response from Andrew Kelly at HRA and David Martin at HRV, whom I have both emailed
It has been suggested to me that ClassicFamilies is the type of resource that HRA should be providing so here is their chance

Wednesday July 10..7:36 pm
Classic Families Management is proud to announce that a sponsor has been secured for 12 months commencing August 1. The sponsor dovetails perfectly into what Classic Families offers to its users.

Good news Noel. I’d heard a whisper something would be announced this week. It’s a great relief I really have no fondness for chores.....

I've had withdrawal pains ! It's such a brilliant resource.
Had to locate my black stud books.

I was beginning to regret not having kept up my updates to Ian Daff's Little Black Book
(which is what I did until I discovered ClassicFamilies)

I’ve been going here:

Not the same but an addict has to get a fix somehow.

Well I was never afforded the courtesy of a reply from Andrew Kelly or David Martin so maybe they didn't want the news getting out it is them although with a start date of Aug1 you might think it is HRNZ

If you are needing Trotters Only...this Swedish website is brilliant. Anything with pacing blood in it ( like Maoris Idol) is not in the data base,
