Brad, you are correct in what you point out but don't forget HRV has for many years been the strongest State and clearly the model other States aimed to copy. They enjoy State Govt support. Over the years they have always lead the way in track development. Something is wrong and the worry is their strong base will be eroded. I have been told the deal with the TAB was not a smart one......somebody blinked to quickly in negotiations.
Hi Bailey, you guys obviously know more about what is going on in your backyard than I do.
Maybe this latest bit of news of Tabcorps successful appeal against Sportsbet might translate into more $$$'s

One way to ensure harness racing becomes a more attractive proposition to the punter who is lifeblood of the sport is to have profesinal drivers in Tab meetings.I know this wont happen as the owner trainer driver which makes up a big portion of the sport would have to give up the driving part and that wont happen.
Until it does the sport will stagnate
