The harness racing in QLD has always done it tough IMO nothing like a good kick to the head. Have you been following the Ontario cut back's? If they do take the slot's money away without replacing it from another avenue the now great racing/breeding industry in ONT will go backward's 20 years. Good bye OSS, NAC, they are saying that it could take effect as early as March 2013 with this announcement is it possible that breeder's in ONT do not breed their mares? I think that this has happened already and it will only get worse during this season and come 2013 it will very quiet around the stud farm's expecially with the lower quality stallions that will be left standing in ONT.
