    • you and Brodie forget the Major thing . Just like any Government or education funding or roads funding or medical funding ,with The Funding  , x-amount is allocated each season / year to use. this is common for most companies needing funding. they have an annual budget. They have to use the allocation per year for operational costs as part of the calculated set up of a season of racing. it doesn't carry over if you Don't Use/allocate it. normal business .  It is noble that you and Brodie worry about what is happening in the future years, at the end of the initial 5 year period where you're terrified ENTAIN are going to run off into the sunset . They won't IMO .  Of course the amount funded could be less , as what happens time to time , just like with company sponsorships. and the racing could well be for much LESS Prizemoney as you are predicting .It's  just the state of the sport these days. less interest in it than 20 years ago or even 10 years ago.  less interest over time=less money invested. normal business acumen again.  The Current decision making , whether be Ladbrokes (a ENTAIN subsidiary in QLD), or  ENTAIN in NZ you guys never stop OUT CRYING their performance is poor , when without them,  the Harness racing would be near FINISHED without their great support in recent years ? . We in fact have even better carnivals and racing recent times ,all around NZ for great prizemoney  I'll give you an example. Victoria Harness is running at a seasonal loss each season last few years. Harness racing is just not a popular sport anymore.  So they recently got Gov funding to keep going until the end of next year 2027 season. All the $44 million extra funding given will have to be used this year and next. it is to support the 2026 and the 2027 seasons.  there are a lot of tracks and racing in Victoria . more than NZ these days. but They can't keep it (the extra funding) for future times ). It doesn't work like that. funding , as always is for Specific Time Periods. normal business acumen. will be back at running a loss after 2027 , so new plans will be made prior.    Funding is seasonal. it's almost calculated to the dollar across however many race meetings there are in a year.  Enjoy the Great racing while you can then !! before all the changes and cuts.     
    • Who are the Otago/Southland reps?
    • I guess it is up to you to contact the elected reps for programming to give your views.  Maybe get the draft programme emailed to you by the Canterbury Secretary, Ainsley McLeod.
    • True though at the mo it seems to be a plethora of warnings.
    • That's total Entain revenue including sports.
