But we also have revenue from domestic wagering on overseas racing and sports. Just that domestic racing can no longer stand on its own feet from wagering revenue. The key point that the data reinforces though, is that spending more on high stakes races doesn't help the revenue returns. -

After announcing in December at the Global Symposium on Racing in Tuscon, Arizona that it would be taking steps to limit Computer Assisted Wagering (CAW play) within the coming months, NYRA announced Friday that the new rules will go into effect on Feb. 5. Calling the measures new “guardrails,” NYRA revealed at the Arizona symposium that all CAW play will eventually cease at one minute to post in all pools. CAW players can still bet after the one-minute time limit, but they will be restricted to six bets or less during that time frame. According to the NYRA press release, “CAW activity is defined by NYRA and its peer tracks according to the speed of wager execution. NYRA considers wagering to be CAW activity when that speed exceeds six bets per second.” NYRA, which has taken steps in the past to prevent large, last-second drops in the odds in the win pools, said this is another step that will benefit the retail horseplayer. “As such, NYRA will institute a comprehensive approach to the management of CAW activity for the benefit of horseplayers.” the statement read. “This policy reflects the importance of modernizing pari-mutuel wagering to address the technology-driven evolution of high-speed wagering,” said David O'Rourke, NYRA President & CEO. “Reducing odds volatility will increase pricing transparency and improve the wagering experience for horseplayers in New York and across the country.” O'Rourke signaled his intent to work on the CAW problem when he spoke in Arizona. “What I'm saying here is we draw a line now, we start measuring what's going on within that period of time, and then we start looking at other things,” he said at the time. NYRA owns a 20 percent stake in the Elite Turf Club, which includes some of the largest CAW players in the world as its customers. (The Stronach Group, which operates Santa Anita and Gulfstream, owns the other 80 percent). But that has not kept NYRA from taking steps to protect the everyday players, many of whom are believed to be disappearing because they cannot compete against the many advantages given to the CAW players. Since 2021, CAW teams have been prohibited from placing batch bets in the win pool within two minutes of the race start. That has dramatically cut down on the phenomenon of the odds of horses plummeting in the win pool after the start of the race. The current win-pool policy will remain in effect. CAW players have also been completely banned from the Late Pick Five and the Pick Six. NYRA also eliminated jackpot provisions in their Pick 6. As the carryovers build up in jackpot-style wagers, CAW teams often make huge bets into the pools and were often able to take home the bulk of a pool that built up as regular horseplayers were making losing bets that led to the large carryovers.

With the maintenance team scheduled for an annual track refresh Feb. 7-8, there will be no live racing at Los Alamitos Race Course on either day, the track announced via release. The maintenance project will begin following the conclusion of morning training Wednesday, Feb. 4. To provide the Los Alamitos staff with enough time to complete the comprehensive refresh of the one-mile dirt oval, the track will be closed for training Feb. 5-9. Training will resume Tuesday, Feb. 10, and live racing will return Saturday, Feb. 14. The annual procedure is an integral component of Los Alamitos' ongoing efforts to maintain the highest safety standards for both horses and riders. The project will be conducted under the guidance of Dennis Moore. For the 2026 racing season, Los Alamitos has further strengthened its Inclement Weather Policy and Track Maintenance Program. To ensure maximum protection of the surface during wet-weather conditions, the track will no longer open for morning joggers when the surface has been sealed and Los Alamitos is racing on that night. While live night racing is paused, Los Alamitos will remain open for daytime simulcasting. Please note there will be no night simulcasting from Feb. 6-8.

An extrapolated industry like this would probably see the demise of racing in NZ, with many packing up their bags (owners and trainers) and either moving to Aus or slanting their operation towards more Aus racing It is effectively a 50% reduction in stake money. We see the bleating that goes on, on social media with the current stakes level, so that would just amplify it. It would mean the end of Te Akau in NZ, and probably full stop, as they have not established their credentials enough in Aus -
