I can definitely see where Dan is coming from as I am still to be convinced about Menangle and Melton
Maybe they could sell AP and just head to the beach
First the Seymour's sale and now this
https://www.harness.org.au/apps/tradingring/post/128625
Quite a few baling out now and not just in Queensland either.
Another one.
All mares are for genuine sale to reasonable and realistic offers.
This isn’t a fire sale but vendor does have a strong desire to clear all his stock so it’s a great opportunity to buy a nice mare.
The only mares not listed for sale, that vendor owns, are mares not in foal and they will be put in foal next season and then be available for immediate purchase.
Please don’t hesitate to make an offer – All offers will be put to vendor - He wants all mares sold !!

How many 1 million dollar races in harness racing? answer 1 the ID final in Perth....what a joke. Stake money increase has lagged behind for years except for Menangle.
Harness racing in importance is now at the bottom behind thoroughbred and greyhounds and as more potential owners become less interested the more dire it will be for the racing code. I can see the demise of racing happening in Queensland and South Australia unless they can get immediate support from the states government and it's not looking very promising in the other states as well unless there is a substantial increase in stake money just to keep up with the greyhounds and to bring in new owners.
They havent finished yet. Important thing about this task force is that they are investigating all three codes.

in the last season i know of many members who have vacated the sport up here
naturally they will not return. i blame the $1.00 tab for most of them leaving this sport when you back a horse you are guaranteed $1.00 dividend only How can you back a horse to get your money back as a divedend
Hi Chris, I would not be surprised if losing money when long odds on favourites get beat, could cost us followers but I am not convinced as to whether getting $1.05 as opposed to $1.00 when you 'make the mistake' of backing something SUPER short would be the reason for losing peopleQuote:

I feel for Commissioner Ross Barnett, you do however have to wonder whether the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission is an oxymoronQuote:

A long time coming but Stuart Hunter's trial starts in the Brisbane District Court today.
http://www.harnesslink.com/News/Quee...-fraud-charges
Stuart Hunter found not guilty of placing unfair bet
November 13, 2020
A jury has found a Queensland harness racing identity did not have inside knowledge when he placed a winning bet on a horse.
Stuart Henderson Hunter, an industry veteran of over 30 years, was on trial in the Brisbane District Court after being charged with using knowledge of match fixing to place a bet on a Globe Derby Park race in South Australia on July 15, 2017.
Crown prosecutor Noel Needham claimed Mr. Hunter, 72, had put money on Holme on the River after being told by a horse owner that the gelding was going to be given a performance enhancing injection on the day of the race.
Mr. Hunter, of Redcliffe, pleaded not guilty to the single charge and this afternoon after a short deliberation the jury acquitted him.
Obviously the judge didn't believe the prosecutor proved his case
It would be good to know more details of the trial
