Job of HRNZ. In a nut shell  Put on races for the participants . Have races for All class of horses that are in training in All the areas of NZ.    Allocate the Stake money available from all sources including Entain , Sponsors and about 8 other ways Funding is gathered . Including Sires Stakes programs , etc. Supply the officials and workers that enforce the rules, and Run the product around the country to make it an exciting and enticing,  and SAFE product for all the participants to have a go at.  Running the feature races such as The Betcha Race, Velocity, Derbies, Sire Stakes, harness Millions, Golden Gait  and many more)  are a SURE FIRE Way to attract Big time owners to Buy and Race and Breed Big time Horses and racing. This is Happening SO SUCCESSFULLY , that Aus owners Mick Boots, Dean Shannon , Mrs Fliess, Butterworth's and others regularly compete in NZ , and have horses trained there now. this is Excellent for the industry. Which is keeping good horses and owners racing.  HRNZ is Doing this Better than Ever. All these above items are running First Class and better horses and races than all history of over 100 years are being run . Thanks To ENORMOUS EFFORTS by a LOT of people at Entain and HRNZ. and yet BOAY turns on them with no appreciation and says replace the lot .??? or even get rid of the ATC because it is high end owners. hahahaha  using up your funding ??  What about the drivers and trainers lol.  Westport  and other Bush meetings (like on Sundays)  are put on as well. as part of the HRNZ funding program. for bigger stakes than they deserve too. because of the great job being done by the HRNZ Computer.  Brodie and others think they are better than a Financial Computer so good luck to ya fella's ( you're Not) Stakes are allocated on a annual basis. They adjust to suit the totals available in any one season. Logic . which is more obvious to some than others.  BOAY patrons however , SHow their  distain for the TAB Slot trot. ???  on this thread. That's Such a shame. Best Trotters on the planet assembled by some amazing folk that organize this stuff. To Show Case our sport for the World.   these events are Helping with our (NZ and OZ harness) reputation and Standing on the world Stage ( so we get BIG Time horse owners and breeders like Canadian Mike Tanev and breeder, yearling purchaser Dean Shannon, NZer Stockman , Mick Boots (who has 30 trainers doing horses for him)  etc supporting NZ harness mightily )  such an important thing for NZ harness,  but you can't see it for the doomsday opinion and constant ridicule of the amazing people at HRNZ that keep it all going.      

Yes of course Entain is a very large corporate gambling business and yes the amount put into NZ racing that was guaranteed is not a large amount for them! However they are here to make a large profit on their investment and the shareholders will want and need that! The thing is that at the end of the 5 year term they are going to be putting as little as they can into racing and relying on the growth of Sports betting and online gambling without doubt. Does anyone actually believe that this international gambling agency gives a rats about NZ Racing, as this is not their forte? Unfortunately this is reality and harness racing is heading for somewhere that should not have happened if it had been managed correctly. More than happy to be proven totally wrong.      

you've made the same comments previously gamma. i've pointed out before that you don't seem to understand where the money is coming from. for example,if i ibought your car and gave you $10000,then you went and spent the $10,000,your not going to get any more money from me,nor are you going to let me say what you should have spent the $10,000 on. in other words its your responsibilty for spending the $10,000 wisely. If you  don't it won't effect me one bit.Nor will anyone feel sorry for you, if you've spend it all at once and have nothing left when its time to pay your bills next year.You can only sell your car once.

Why bother @Newmarket.  Your past history regarding the analysis of "value" has had abysmal results. Perhaps you could give us a list of your "value" runners today?  I wouldn't worry about anyone punting on them and it would be to your advantage as your selections prices would lengthen!
