How can it be good for Australia to have the NZers come and take all the prizemoney?

Be interesting to know factually how much Purdon and clients spent at the Melbourne yearling sales 2017

We have only had the Melbourne sale so far and I don't know who his clients are but as TC posted elsewhere, here are the results

The Males, the Strides, Five Arrows syndicate, Geoff Webster, Larry Eastman, and the Butterworths were some of the bigger spenders

HRNSW decided to take back $15k from Mark Purdon's booty

Need to punt that one to the Stewards Report thread, Kev.

$15K is some sort of whack! Another NZ contribution to NSW Harness Racing.

Back on topic, Vincent was a $130K purchase at the 2015 Sydney Australian Gold Sale. So nobody can begrudge this "NZ" horse grabbing back a lazy $246,000 in stakes from 5 NSW starts this season. Especially so when the money goes to his Victorian owners. What goes around comes around.

I would have put it in the Stewards thread but I did not want people to miss what is currently the last post in that thread

If the ownership is well spread it could be some consolation but I cannot see how it can be good for other trainers for one if the following domination continues

Like my trainer said to me last week, there is nowhere to hide now, you go to a country track as far away from the city as you can get and there is a kiwi horse purchased for $200,000 waiting for you in a $3500 race, sometimes two of them. Once upon a time the hobby trainer and owner could get a win on the board against similar opposition, not any more.
