    • It is absolutely mind boggling at the moment with the stake money being offered when we know that they are losing money with the amount of wagering occurring. Invercargill has a minimum if 20k and other races are significantly more! Auckland tonight are racing for 50k minimum, Ashburton Sunday $60k minimum! Highly doubt any of these meetings actually cover stake money let alone the other costs of running the meetings! Entain is not currently tracing well at all and yet have to continue to chuck in a cool $250m to racing. Seriously this can not end well with this totally inflated stakes!! Still havent seen a single poster stating that they have confidence in the decision making of  HRNZ!
    • I think this is valid comment CS and something to cogitate over By all means challenge what posters are saying, it will challenge people to think about what they are saying, the logic and content, but tone down some of the 'anal' stuff As many will know, i have been through the throes with CS and returned to post on this site. Why? Because you cannot beat well researched, well thought out and intelligent comment, comment that is posted minus the conspiracy, agenda factor It is a quality sadly lacking on other social media sites.
    • WatchandWager.com has renewed agreements with Monarch Content Management Group and the New York Racing Association (NYRA) to accept wagers on their racetracks in 2026, according to a press release from the betting outfit on Thursday. The renewals with Monarch allow WatchandWager players to place bets at 19 racetracks, including Gulfstream and Santa Anita, while the NYRA deal gives those horseplayers access to 17 racetracks, which includes Saratoga. WatchandWager has obtained renewals of all of its state-by-state ADW licenses for 2026. Among those individual licenses are California, Colorado, Kentucky, New York and Washington. They also received a renewal of its multi-jurisdictional wagering license from the North Dakota Racing Commission for 2026.

    • I've asked you this before but you didn't answer. What do you think is "enough" for Levin to be paying?
    • What will racing look like in 10 years? We asked some of racing's best and brightest to give us their predictions. Want to submit an answer? Email suefinley@thetdn.com MATT SCULL, FOUNDER, PRESIDENT OF FIRST RODEO RACING The care for the horse comes before all. A greater emphasis is now placed on the competition rather than the business of breeding and sales. The wrinkles in HISA have been ironed out and it has allowed the proper framework for all states/track operators to pull the rope in the same direction, rather than continuing to fight for their piece of a shrinking pie. Regional breeding programs helped to reverse negative trends in the foal crop. Meaningful access to the horse are more readily available across the country. AI has taken over many parts of our lives, creating a larger need for connection to the animal/nature, horse racing capitalized on this. Tracks have successfully placed the proper emphasis on attracting new fans to the track and give them race-day experiences worthy of wanting to come back. Experiences like the Hill at Keeneland are the norm rather than the exception. Wagering menus are modernized and meet people where they are at. You can now add a horse to show on the Sunday card at Oaklawn to your NFL same-game parlay. Access to free data, that is more easily understood by the beginner is distributed widely. Rewards for horseplayers align greater with what is offered at brick and mortar casinos. Top players get comped tickets and a hotel room for the big racing days across the country. Handicapping races had it's “poker stars” moment. Contests are filmed and turned into mini-series on YouTube. Track think more critically regarding how to attract new owners to the sport and focus on the full experience. Rather than looking to attract horses to fill races with just purse strings, they create environments that encourage ownership participation. People begin to see horse ownership as much more than an investment. There is a revival in the interest of racing in the entire US, with new markets added in the Southeast and Midwest (Kansas, Georgia, etc). Momentum East helps California weather the storm and reverse its current trajectory. Horse racing has successfully became the conduit to re-connect more humans to horses.
