In the spirit of the things that annoy you the most...the things I like the most are, in no particular order...
1. Family/friends participation
2. Foaling time/Breeding season
3. 2yo & 3yo racing
4. Yearling Sales
5. Watching the young horses (rising 2yrs) develop.
6. Winning a race, any race, anywhere.
7. Backing a winner
8. Harness Websites & Forums which afford the Industry & those in it unprecedented platforms of exposure and allow them the freedom to express their views & discuss the issues that concern them in real time, as it is happening or as it has just happened.
9. The positive changes that have occurred across the board here in NSW in terms of both the NSWHRC and HRNSW. It was not so long ago that both organisations left a Hell of a lot to be desired as far as their interaction with Industry Participants was concerned. The current forms of both are totally unrecogniseable as compared to their forebears and thank heavens for that.
10. The Breed.
