There's breeder's bonuses, cash bonuses that helps towards thing's like service fee's. You say this in turn make's for fuller fields, well isn't the kiwi horses helping out in this way.

its the ultimate goal thats important. My understanding is that the report tries to address the issue of falling breeding numbers and the fact that our racing population is dropping fast. yes,

i dont see any problem with incentivising breeders in order to attain that goal which then has significant benefits for the whole industry, but especially owners.

Once again, harping back to my yr 12 Economics studies. Sometimes you have to give a kick along to certain industries for the benfit of the country. Imagine where Aust would be now without the mining industry?

Im not looking for a free kick. i still pay my money.
