    Some more good news. Apparently Bathurst HRC have their plans for a new 1000m track on the old Saleyards site about to go before Council.

    Fair dinkum nothing personal to anyone but if you read these forums over a period of time you'd go from suicidal to ecstatic and back and forth, over and over ..... and over...

    One minute harness is on deaths door next we're looking to the future with great optimism!

    If that is correct and prize money is going to rise from 22k to 50k it will be detrimental to all harness racing states except N.S.W. Sure, Vic & W.A. will raise their stakes but certainly not to that level and I certainly fear for Queensland S.A. & Tas. There will be trainers relocating to menangle from all states and the industry will be centred in N.S.W. Vic & W.A. will become the also rans and the rest wont exist. Racing Queensland would be looking at this and would be concluding why bother to prop up harness racing in Qld when they can all move down the road to menangle or thereabouts. As I said great for N.S.W. but the other states I'm not so sure.

    1) It was an April Fools Joke.
    2) HRNSW is its own business separate from RQLD, RWWA, HRV so if they wanted to put prize-money to $100,000 that's their decision. However, I do sympathize with other states being left behind.
    3) Other states will, I believe, get the same benefits eg their market share of race field fees. NSW isn't the only state to benefit from this.

    This action does not apply to Victoria I found out, they signed an agreement a year or so ago and went down a different path to NSW. I received an email today from Betfair saying that it will cost them six times more to put their product in NSW and will try to sought something out soon.

    Im pretty certain the current agreement in place in Victoria expires at the end of the season. Thats assuming they dont enact legislation prior to that finishing date
