Pretty much agree...racing now seen as a televised sport and people now find a day at the races too boring and their time/money spent better elsewhere. Ellerslie does well on the 'big days' when much of the hospitality is sold out. Certainly more money made in the food and beverage than in the on course betting. PLus with 20 plus meetings a year , cant go back to the well every couple of weeks .Flemington makes most of its money in Cup week. The bigger crowds are generally around iconic meetings[ Kumara] and traditional holiday dates [Tauherenikau ].......give us your list and over next few weeks I'll take a peak at their key numbers. The Grand Tour numbers have been good , with the gate charge being paid by young folk for a day out at the races followed by well known musicians performing ! Certainly Grand Tour events I've witnessed have seemed successful , particularly NZ Cup day at Riccarton , a couple at Ellerslie and one at Pukekohe .. Christmas at the Races and Summer Racing are two successful promotions which seem to have stood the test of time ! Anyway ,please list the Clubs that attract the large crowds . -
bored,Married at first sight,that the wifes watching, just isn't doing it for me this year,so i had a look at the HRNZ website to fill in time. The lastest press release on the HRNZ website is from a grant jarrold,who is chair of the HRNZ board. its early days to form an opinion as yet on what level of competent decision making we can expect. The chair of the board,grant jarrold has a video clip with just a wee bit more deatail. I guess they are trying to be transparent,so thats a good thing i suppose,but we all know theres a difference between giving the impression your all about good governace and actually delivering good governance. So time will tell. I have to say,that in my opinion,the first vibe i get from the video is a positive one about the man,but still he said things that made me think,just wait and see. actually,while it has nothing to do with my thoughts,does anyone know what the first two words he used in the video were? i've played that bit over several times and my hearing says he using ,i guess maori words, that if you google, mean blood treatment or tatoo treatment. Now obviously i'm no expert on te reo,but somehow i don't think what i was hearing is the right interpetation of the words he used. Does anyone know what he said in maori? Anyways,there were some points which i think were areas of hope,but also many areas of concern. for example. 1)He sates in the video" we need to have high quality racing and content to ensure we can improve our wagering and increase the returns to all participants' Now,as i've pointed out so many times,anyone who says high quality racing will increase wagering ,does not have a real grip of the principle drivers of increased turnover. Yes,if you look at nz cup day,tyou would say that,but using a one off day as the barometer to gauge the yearly turnovers is in my opinion ignorant. As i've pointed out so many times,the main drivers of turnover are timeslots,pre race sky racing exposure and jackpotting pools.I have given endless figures to back up why i say that. 2)he staes HRNZ is on budget. Well anyone can say overall things are on budget,even if there are areas where things are terribly not on budget. So my point is,how about there be some transparency around the figures. For example ,lets have the breakdown of the profit /loss or budgeted for loss for specific regions and specific age group racing. How about being honest and telling participants exactly how much cross subsidising from profitable areas of the industry,is being poured into auckland racing and 2 year old racing. 3)he stated "wagering growth". now ,that comment may be true,but does he not realise anyone can work out that was always going to be the case when all the extra meetings were run. There needs to be precise data released if they are gping to be viewed as transparent. 4)He mentioned the on course success of the summer racing. Well yes,they have always been successful,as long as the weathers good. But,people aren't silly and they can see when they turn up at the races at every day meetings in the remaing 9 months of the year,on course attendance isn't good. Besides,i thought the clubs are always saying that their is no hrnz incentive for them to encourage people to attend on course. 5) next gen. he gave that a plug. And i agree ,it does seem to have had a positive effect on the sales. Of course i have also pointed out,that i believe its going to end up like one of those high flying stocks that list on the sharemarket,that its the hype that drives the share price up,not realsitic potential returns. And we all know,that if the hype doesn't match the reality,then i will sour people off future investment. My final thought would be,i hope this new board wakes up to HRNZ two biggest problems. That is decision making based on short sightedness and self interest. -

Odds Bookmakers News Field Past Winners Skyline Stakes Group Two Betting Guide Date: Saturday, March 1, 2025 Location: Randwick Racecourse – Sydney, New South Wales Prize Money: $300,000 Distance: 1200m The Skyline Stakes is a Group 2 race for two-year-old colts and geldings, run over 1200m under set weights. First held in 1979 by the Sydney Turf Club, the Skyline Stakes named after 1958 Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) and Group 1 AJC Derby (2400m) winner Skyline. Initially a Listed race in 1980, the Skyline Stakes was upgraded to Group 3 in 1987 and Group 2 in 2012. The Skyline Stakes grants ballot exemption for the Golden Slipper. Five horses have won both the Skyline and Golden Slipper, though none since Dance Hero in 2004. The 2024 Skyline Stakes, worth $300,000, was won by Storm Boy, defeating Prost and Duvana. 2025 Skyline Stakes betting odds Storm Boy justified his favouritism to claim the Group 2 Skyline Stakes. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Odds for the 2025 Skyline Stakes as of February 24 – Courtesy of Neds Shaggy Win $3.00 Place $1.40 Rivellino Win $4.50 Place $1.70 Comedy Win $6.00 Place $2.00 United States Win $6.00 Place $2.00 Skyhook Win $9.00 Place $2.60 Algorithmic Win $13.00 Place $3.40 Hillier Win $15.00 Place $3.80 Quietly Arrogant Win $15.00 Place $3.80 Chergui Win $17.00 Place $4.20 Good Hotspur Win $26.00 Place $6.00 Valedictorian Win $26.00 Place $6.00 Archimage Win $34.00 Place $7.60 Cobra Club Win $34.00 Place $7.60 Nielsen Park Win $51.00 Place $11.00 Peleus Win $51.00 Place $11.00 Banknote Hustler Win $101.00 Place $21.00 How to bet on the Skyline Stakes Australian horse racing bookmakers will have betting on the Skyline Stakes available. Many of them will open an early market so you can wager on the race a week or so in advance. Unlike many of the bigger races the acceptances are only done a few days before the Skyline Stakes so you won’t find a futures market weeks in advance, like major Group 1 races like the Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate. Aussie bookies like Dabble offer all of the usual bet types on the Skyline Stakes and you will have the option of using ‘boosted odds’ at some of them. This simply means you place your win bet and use the boosted odds option, which could send a $10 shot out to $15. This provides great value and is as good a reason as any to bet online for the Skyline Stakes. Neds Code GETON 1 Take It To The Neds Level Neds Only orange bookie!

The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained galloper was a little slow away from the barriers, but James McDonald gave the son of Justify a dig in the ribs, and he quickly found the front. Although he was sent around as odds-on favourite with online bookmakers, Storm Boy did more than enough to suggest that he will be at his peak in the Golden Slipper, when he will be second-up for the campaign. Making up ground from midfield was the stable mate Prost ($12.00), who ran home nicely into third place, while Duvana ($19.00) from the Waller stable stuck on well for third. However, as many expected, all the honours went to the winner, as he won by an official margin of 1.38 lengths on the line. 2023: Corniche overhauls rivals Godolphin unleashed Golden Slipper contender after Corniche proved too strong for his rivals in the Skyline Stakes at Randwick. The James Cummings-trained colt was given an exceptional ride by Brenton Avdulla, finding the one-one position throughout to stalk the moderate tempo over the 1200m contest. From there he was able to storm clear of the boys to score an impressive win by 1.5 lengths on the winning post. He was well found late in the market with online bookmakers as the Godolphin colt firmed into $7 with his form behind Blue Diamond hopeful, Barber, jumping off the page for punters. 2022: Promitto causes upset David Atkins’ unbeaten colt Promitto proved too strong at the end of the 2022 Group 2 Skyline Stakes at Randwick, defeating Rise Of The Masses and Jemeldi in fine style. The son of Divine Prophet romped in on debut at Newcastle over 900m, and that was enough for Atkins to have a throw at the stumps at Group 2 level. Starting a $15 chance, Promitto was given a brilliant ride by Christian Reith, before letting down strongly in the concluding stages to set out after the leaders strongly.

What 2025 Verry Elleegant Stakes Where Royal Randwick Racecourse – Sydney, NSW When Saturday, March 1, 2025 Prizemoney $1,000,000 Distance 1600m Conditions Group 1 | Weight For Age 2024 Winner Think It Over (2) | T: Kerry Parker | J: Nash Rawiller (59kg) Visit Dabble The time-honoured Group 1 Verry Elleegant Stakes (1600m) headlines the action at Randwick on Saturday afternoon, with a classy field of nine set to battle it out for the $1 million prize. Six of the nine runners engaged come through the Group 2 Apollo Stakes (1400m) where Fangirl prevailed over 1400m. Can the likes of Via Sistina and Ceolwulf turn the tables stepping out to the mile? Or is there an upset brewing elsewhere in the 2025 Verry Elleegant Stakes. 2025 Verry Elleegant Stakes odds The Verry Elleegant Stakes is a race in three according to horse racing bookmakers, with the Chris Waller-trained Via Sistina holding firm favouritism at $1.90 after an impressive return in the Apollo Stakes. Stable companion Fangirl is on the second line of betting at $3.20, while the Joseph Pride-trained Ceolwulf is the big drifter at $5.50 with Neds after drawing the widest gate (9). Lindermann ($13.00) appears to be the best of those in double figures, while it’s ‘write your own ticket’ for the rest, with the likes of Zarakem ($35.00) and Golden Path ($51.00) lacking any early support at the big odds. 2025 Verry Elleegant Stakes speed map Lindermann appears to be the sole leader of the weight-for-age feature, with Nash Rawiller likely to bowl across to the top from barrier seven. Expect Zarakem to press forward to sit on his outside from gate three, while Fangirl will attempt to position towards the one-one throughout from stall five. Via Sistina and Ceolwulf are likely to settle worse than midfield throughout the journey; however, expect the pair to get cover thanks to the staying pair of Arapaho and Golden Path. Continue reading for HorseBetting’s top selections and $100 betting strategy for the 2025 Verry Elleegant Stakes. Verry Elleegant Stakes 2025 preview & form It’s advantage Via Sistina stepping out to the 1600m after hitting the line well resuming in the Apollo Stakes. She had to push her way clear at a crucial stage and was doing her best work late to suggest she’s on song heading into this second-up assignment. James McDonald reuniting with the superstar mare is a major bonus, and provided she can be exposed with clear air at the top of the straight, Via Sistina must be considered the one to beat. The Ciaron Maher-trained Zarakem warrants a saver at the $35.00 with Dabble. He brings some elite European form into his Australian debut, and although he may want further than the 1600m moving forward, he can make some noise at the each-way price.
