I can definitely see where Dan is coming from as I am still to be convinced about Menangle and Melton

Maybe they could sell AP and just head to the beach

G'Day Pat,

Correct Pat, a lot of potential owners realise that the stake money in harness racing is a joke even greyhound races are worth more than harness races in Albion Park, Globe Derby and Tassy. It really is diabolical when you can make more money from greyhounds per capita than you can with harness racing unless you are fortunate enough to own an outstanding horse. How many 1 million dollar races in harness racing? answer 1 the ID final in Perth....what a joke. Stake money increase has lagged behind for years except for Menangle.

Harness racing in importance is now at the bottom behind thoroughbred and greyhounds and as more potential owners become less interested the more dire it will be for the racing code. I can see the demise of racing happening in Queensland and South Australia unless they can get immediate support from the states government and it's not looking very promising in the other states as well unless there is a substantial increase in stake money just to keep up with the greyhounds and to bring in new owners.

Another one.

All mares are for genuine sale to reasonable and realistic offers.


This isn’t a fire sale but vendor does have a strong desire to clear all his stock so it’s a great opportunity to buy a nice mare.


The only mares not listed for sale, that vendor owns, are mares not in foal and they will be put in foal next season and then be available for immediate purchase.


Please don’t hesitate to make an offer – All offers will be put to vendor - He wants all mares sold !!
