Regardless of how LM is winning his races . Is this domination good for harness racing ? LM is attracting most of the biggest owners in NSW and elsewhere . His buisness is flourishing . These are not new owners , to the industry , so it is having an unsustainable impact on the incomes of many participants as they loose their best horses and owners as well as driving fees and percentages . These people were already struggling and , if it continues , will most certainly reaccess their participation in this sport . As participants leave so do punters as most harness racing punters have a direct link to the sport . I know 3 people who have committed to leaving the industry this week . HRNSW has probably done those people they have stood down a favour . At least they won't hang around going broke . Every aspect of the industry is affected . I believe even yearling sale figures will cop a hiding this year as people loose interest . Such domination is called a monopoly and would spell an end for most buisnesses . This could be the straw that broke the camels back and , IMO , this industry will implode even quicker than it already is . Good luck to LM but please turn off the lights at Menangle Park when you leave .
