    • Gamma, great that you can race in Queensland 2 or 3 times a week for at least $4k. They should never have closed the Parklands course to build those hideous coloured boxes! Thing is, when the funding from Entain finishes they may well be needing to race for stakes half of what they are currently racing  for here. If this is the case I highly suspect that the industry will crash big time as I reckon with the cost of having a horse trained will not justify racing one. Owners are getting older snd the young ones will not be entering into new ownerships! Problem currently is that HRNZ I personally believe are mismanaging things and this will probably come out once the committee does the due diligence on what is happening with the Entain cash splash wastage! More than happy to not be on the money on this one?
    • The thing is that I feel that the greyhound industry has not protested hard enough. Someone needed to take the bull by the horns and led the participants to actually fight for their industry! I reckon too many are just accepting of what they are told to do, apathy is rife in NZ it was shown during the Covid scam. Defies total logic when they say that greyhounds who chase without being forced to is cruel? What is more cruel is that this decision to cancel dog racing is going to make the greyhound extinct in NZ  within a few years! This is cruel and yet the greyhound people continue to race without significant protest? Once the industry is closed it is gone forever so they need to fight their cause!
    • If you call a five race meeting fun with none of the fields having more than 8 horses and one of those 5 races a five horse field, then good luck to you.  There is no way I am betting at that load of shite and I am willing to bet that is a losing meeting for funding with the turnover nowhere near covering the cost of running it. People may be having fun at their sport but I suppose the people on the Titanic were having fun at some stage too.
    • Can't see the government overturing the decision here.   
    • Brodie, you are on the money! This is more egregious than the treatment of restricted punters.
