What's Our Future in NSW

[The Form Student]

Hi Greg
Don't look at this move by Sam and his team badly it is probably one of the best moves he's made. The 54 meetings removed will all be restricted meetings the lowest form of racing known to man.

For harness racing to move forward the sport needs to profesionalize removing the favored meetings of the weekend worrier trainer is a smart move to wipe them out. Just take a look at the last a bulli and you will know what I mean. People who can't count past four are not a good look.

That will do me...........that is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard!!!!!.......do this and you virtually kill the sport completely.......these "weekend warriors" are what keeps this game alive.........there are not a lot of people making a living out of harness racing.......Please have a look at the below post regarding the Blayney meeting held recently.........a lot of these tracks and meetings are looked after by volunteers and they are still going........some have dropped out, because financial support was not forthcoming..........!!!!!!!!!. your comment can't be serious!

Re mistaking the laps at Bulli, it won't be the first or the last.......your memory must be short because a little over 12 months ago, GARY HALL JR, MISTOOK THE LAPS.........HE IS DRIVING THE 1/1 FAVOURITE IN THIS WEEKS ID FINAL.

Looking Back

I think everyone left Blayney last Saturday feeling that the meeting had been a success.
Haven't seen the official figures but have been told that the Tote held over $12,000 on the day, the bookies held over $10,000. Gate was $1,300 and the canteen took in $2,100 running out of everything just prior to the last.
Heard some comments during the day that there were more people at Blayney than at Menangle the previous night and that the crowd was bigger than most Wednesdays at Bathurst. The racing was a bit rough and ready which is to be expected with the grade of horses competing, but a few good ones showed everyone how it should be done
Everyone is now excited about the upcoming Carnival of Cups meeting where the increased prizemoney will see better horses making the journey to Blayney.
