BIG increases in NSW Prizemoney increases from July 1st.

[triplev123]

It seems to be slowly filtering through the Industry here in NSW and Rex and the NSWHRC Crew will put the exact figures on the July 1st prizemoney increases at a meeting set down for a date in March which escapes me at present...however for now suffice it to say the prizemoney soon to become available here in NSW will be the highest anywhere in Australia for both the Provincial Clubs as well as Menangle and in fact it will be the highest available anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere. How good is that? GO YOU GOOD THING!

my mail is suggesting $12,000 country fronts...

they are matching the WA levels to begin with and then increase it gradually as they are paid for HP

It's excellent news Mightymo, Buster. Excellent news. Finally both existing and most importantly aspiring Trainers & Drivers will be able to make a full-time go of it & finally it will become a genuinely financially viable proposition for the Owners. I can't wait. Bring on July 1st.

just wish i could afford a horse good enough to get some of that prizemoney lol

[triplev123]

You'll get one Buster. Just a matter of time. The buggers always come along when you least expect them to and often from the most unlikely of sources. It's like the day I met Mrs. Triple. I got home from work one afternoon & hey presto...there she was, standing in the neighbour's driveway. That was about 16yrs and two children ago.

Geeze, very touchy subject that Mango. If Mrs. Triple ever reads this site I'm stuffed.

Hay Tripple are you sure about the prizemoney i heard that is was only the Menangle meetings that were increasing why would Rex Horne and his club be giving away there money to other clubs that they have nothing to do with

G'day racehorse,
They're definately going to augment prizemoney available at Country Clubs. That comes directly from Rex. It's one of their main aims, not only to do it but to be seen to be doing it. They're acutely aware of the need for some of the money that comes from the sale of HP to assist the Country areas to prosper as well and there are many reasons for this, not the least of which is because they're all going to feeder tracks for Menangle. They realise that there's no point having great prizemoney at Menangle if the rest of the Clubs in NSW are racing for a ham sandwich and so the stronger the grass roots, the stronger the top end.
I don't know the nuts and bolts of it all however I believe that a large part of this will be achieved through an ongoing series of Heat & Final races, the format of which I assume would be something along the lines of augmented prizemoney Heats held at various Country venues and Finals raced at Menangle or some such approach. The Carnival of Cups & so on would tie into all that as well I suppose. Totally altruistic motives my friend. 4 & a bit months and counting.

I hope people read this and take notice and start buying at the Sydney sale's cause from here on in looks very promising it's just a shame i sold my yearling through the week lol.

Hi Buster
Get a syndicate together with your mates and hopefully you will be able to get some of that prize money.

Hi Triplev123
There was a whisper going around that you were trying to get the prize money increase announced before the sale's, it's a pitty that it won't happen but you get a A+ for effort.
