    I agree Dallas, it just seems absurd for it should be a given

    3 new trainers added to my VIC winners database tonight after Shep
    All from NSW - we might have to bring in a toll for South bound traffic on the Murray bridges
    (I think a trend is developing NSW admin)

    I think this trend may have a lot to do with the lack of prizemoney for C class races state wide. If you compare the average prizemoney level in Vic against NSW I think it will answer the question. Don't get me started on the handicaping system in NSW.

    It seems to me the trainers are leaving, the horses are leaving either to Queensland or Victoria, its time to wake up John Dumesny and the board of NSW Harness Racing.

    Yes, HRNSW have "let the team down"...........the MM was a disaster from a betting point of view, and betting is the ultimate reason racing exists!........with just over $550K held on the 3 main TAB's.......this is less than the $750,000 prizemoney for the MM...........they would have been better off thinking about the "whole team" of clubs, and keeping back say $50,000, and boosting the Treuer to $80,000 plus prizemoney, and we may not have lost Christen Me & Terror to Love to the Cranbourne Cup this week, and maybe Beau might have started also...........good on Cranbourne for "stealing" these supreme horses..............poor effort HRNSW in not having the foresight or conviction to support the Bankstown Club and maintain the Treuer Memorial! It just shows a hell bent determination to kick these other clubs when they are down for their own, 'I am the master position"............you may have got what you want!.......but the cost to the industry as a whole could be insurmountable! You need to rethink your "Master Plan" for the industry as a whole very quickly!

    Using the size of the tote pools for last weeks race in no means gives a true indication of the total amount wagered on the mile Steve. Across the board the figure would be near 10 fold the amount u mention.

    I do agree the Treuer is disappointing this year (I have no clue if hrnsw could/should have lended a helping hand) but the club are hopeful of returning it to a 100K race next season......here's certainly hoping.

    you can no longer use tote pools as an indication of wagering. The actual amount wagered on fixed odds with the TAB's and corps would be far greater...

    I don't like making assumptions or not having the relevant facts.............but there is an extreme disbelief that the MM was a profit maker for harness racing! These same horses that competed in the MM have rushed to VIC to race for $100K prizemoney pool!
    HRNSW enticed them here with big prizemoney for the MM, and perhaps could have kept them here a week longer! What a great thing for NSW!
    Maybe, HRNSW should just change the name of the $30K race at Menangle on a Saturday night, and call them the "Treuer", "J D Watts" or the "Renshaw Cup", and save these now almost defunct clubs from trying to survive in there own rights, and let them fizzle out, as they are almost now extinct anyway!

    My only comment would be don't confuse HRNSW with the NSWHRC they are very different beasts although it matters not. It is sad to see what has become of the Truer and despite what the club may think, Bankstown appears to be a relic of what looks to be a bygone era, I can't see them generating the funds to get back to where they need to be.
