NSW "Prizemoney!"

[Rob Nalder]

Following on from Sundays Owners meeting at Penrith Harness Racing Club, conducted by NSW Owners Association a big thank you is called for as it was without doubt the best run and most constructive forum I have attended. To Terry Neil well done in conducting a free flowing and very professional meeting. As an Owner/ Breeder I found it most constructive and extremely well attended. I wait now on seeing and reading all the findings placed before the Owners Ass on the day by the Participants in attendance. Also good to see and catch up with Old Frends. I should also acknowledge the fact that Rod Smith (Board member HRNSW) was taking everything in and taking heaps of notes. Hopefully with the way this Owners Association has conducted such a meeting we can have see it growing substantially in membership as we need a strong and effective body acting on our best interests. I'd like to get others feedback who also attended as I did see several faces from this Forum / Link.

With Metro races worth $22,260 in NSW and only $16,350 in VIC which equates to a whopping 36% difference and with weekday stakes due to increase to $8k is NSW leaving Vic behind

Over a year later and nothing has changed - an M0 in NSW is still worth 36% more (nearly $6k diff).

Givemeaspell won his M0 at Melton last Friday and collected $9,120
Mister Brazil won his M0 at Menangle last Saturday and collected $12,600

To match NSW, Vic would have to increase the winner's cheque by 38%

While I would never bag increases in prize money Kev, Victoria never had a Harold Park to sell and that difference is at very least partly made up by funding from the investments of Harold Park's sale price. It was a wonderful windfall for the game and with wise investment in the years to come will make some difference to the games future.

Can't have the city boys going poor

All a part of the master plan to get horses to the main trainers............in the city or regional areas.......they are slowly making it harder for the smaller trainers to survive in the country areas. I for one will not be sending any of my horses to a larger stable. I want to be involved in all aspects of this fine industry and be able to see my horses in close proximity to where i live. I am pleased the way my trainers look after my horses and I can see them anytime.
