Hi Aussiebreno
Mare's served in n.z are correct in my former post as i was e-mailed the list of mare's served over the last 10yrs by a respected breeder who is high up in the breeding industry in n.z, i was over there in early april and was discussing this topic with them and then a month later i recieved the service chart.
Hi Aussiebreno
I just found the e-mail i was sent, as per certificate's lodged with HRNZ.
00/01 - 4296
01/02 - 4879
02/03 - 4856
03/04 - 4676
04/05 - 4226
05/06 - 4071
06/07 - 4057
07/08 - 4266
08/09 - 3867
09/10 - 4015
10/11 - 3500
There's been 46709 mare's served in 11yrs giving an average of 4246 mare's served per year.
Yeah mango, wasnt disputing. Is there a standout reason for just 3500 last season? That is a big drop.

[VVV] G'day Mightymo. Mate, I am so sick to death of that attitude...we program them but the races don't stand up so we don't program them. I am sick to death of these Bozos envoking the Chicken & Egg defence. I suggested the very same thing at the Panel meeting held at Menangle and I got the well worn, totally expected response from a couple of people I thought would be on side but were apparently not..."the TAB agreement prevents us from going with less than full fields".Quote:

I say $%&@ the TAB's. $%&@ them all right down to their potted Ficus & Happy Plants. $%&@ their views on full fields. The States need to grow some Cojones right here, right now and they need to stand up and do what we all know is the right thing to do...rather than allowing the Industry to remain little more than a Puppet of the short-sighted bean counting SOB's in offices somewhere in Ultimo. Card the God damned races people and then run them with whomever fronts up and drops their names into the box, regardless if they have full fields or not, and persist in doing so beyond a few weeks or a month or two. They'll get the noms & the full fields and they'll get them in very short order.
Was just talking to a mate of mine and he raised the point that it is mandated that Breeders Crown Heats throughout Australia are run with whomever noms, regardless of numbers.
Now why is it that, at least in the short term, something of a similar program could not be instituted so as to foster more fillies & mares only races? Surely it can't be that God damned difficult?
Its NZ and the drop in the last season is exaggerated to the prior 10 seasons. Hence my query to Mango; hope he has an answer. It probably has to be a dramatic change. Which now Lance has said below Govt stopped funding.Quote:

My figures show it isn't declining foal numbers rather horse retention.
VVV and others have put up great ideas to retain horses.

LOL - it must be play time at kinder. Do they let you you use the computers instead of playing in the sandpit??Quote:
