A point being missed is also the number of horse's from NZ coming over isn't helping our breeding industry either but by christ it's helping the NZ breeder's a whole lot.
You can't blame people for doing it they can get one up and running and go to the races straight away rather than waiting to see if a yearling work's out or not.
I notice with the TAB no 1 and NSW trotting club syndicate they even buy NZ if your principal club wont support home grown why should anybody else.
Yes it's good to get new people into the game but at what cost to the breeding industry in NSW.
I don't know the answer's to the breeding problem but i believe we have got to stick with it and see what happen's and i totally agree with their not being enough fillies and mare's races .
Also a point why some people don't breed is the cost's associated with it ie agistment cost's .Some place's in my opinion charge way too much, i know grass cost's money but be realistic with the pricing and it may help.
I don't know.Also with some buyer's they really get shitty with buy back's ( fair enough if you haven't been offered what you think it's worth ) but some are only put in the Gold sale's to be eligible for the race's and have no intention of selling the horse anyway. Is that fair to the buyer's .
Just some thought's i was having and typing aloud.
