Dot I agree with you 100%.
And don't believe we have the 6 million until we actually get it , after all they were just politicians election promises !
I see nothing in that package to make me or anyone want to breed more horses. The big winner will be NZ as they will have to supply the extra horses .
None of the extra money is going to increasing the incentive to breed horses. Nothing is going to encouraging ownership through advertising etc.


Just more of the same solution that has been failing for the past 15+ years !
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result ! Draw your own conclusions with that !
Where will our future race horses come from if demand does increase ? Breed more you say ! With what ! The mares are all gone because nobody could afford to breed anymore ! The board needs to act now to ensure that foal numbers start to increase to cover the extra demand that they think they are encouraging. It takes 3+ years to create a 2yo racehorse from conception .
