someone has to be the 'backer' for funding Prizemoney events Mikey. The government (of any country) makes a lot of Money in Taxes each year , as 90% of GAMBLERS lose. They can't help but want to spend all their pension on the Machines or want to put $1000 plus on a horse , like a druggie, smoker or alcoholic addict the gambling is a Huge problem in western society. The Government makes a TON of money from these vices. So why Not back Entain to collect more of it , from all these losers? The government knows a good thing when they see it lol. And they are Supporting some Sports , that would otherwise Die out . like harness racing. here's a snippet on the nations efforts. (Hope the Brodster not getting involved too much lol 😎) > Current Gambling Market in New Zealand New Zealand has a population of approximately 5.2 million people, with high internet and smartphone penetration supporting its digital industries. Internet penetration sits at over 93%, and mobile phone ownership exceeds 90%, making it an ideal environment for online gambling growth. The gambling market (retail + online) in New Zealand is expected to generate US$3.11bn in revenue in 2025 and is forecasted to expand at a 3.21% CAGR between 2025 and 2029, leading to an anticipated market volume of US$3.53bn by 2029. -

By Jordyn Bublitz There was no catching St John Eight last night at Cambridge Raceway, with the Andre Poutama-trained runner taking out the TFS Horse Transport Mobile Pace—claiming his third win in seven starts and doing it in commanding fashion. From barrier five, the gelded son of Always B Miki burned early to take the lead, and Poutama said he knew he had the race won the moment he hit the top. “As soon as I got to the top, I knew I had them beat,” said the Pukekohe reinsman. “Whenever they come for him, he just always seems to find more and more.” And find more he did—facing early pressure for the lead and still having the grit to pull away from his rivals in the straight to score by a domineering three-length margin. Although he got things wrong last start at Alexandra Park, Poutama was confident in the gelding’s chances heading into last night’s race. “He galloped last start at Auckland, but he doesn’t really go right-handed, and he just got onto a knee on that last bend. I was hopeful for him heading into last night—I knew he’d be near enough.” Poutama is also looking forward to his sole runner lining up at Alexandra Park on Friday night—Eyeliner, who will contest the Magness Broadcast – End of an Era at Alex Park Mobile Pace (9:24 p.m.) The four-year-old daughter of Lazarus is having her second start back this campaign, and he’s positive she will have derived benefit from her fresh-up run at Cambridge Raceway. “She’d had no trials heading into her last start, and I was pretty happy with the way she went. She was always going to blow out fresh-up, and she’ll only improve,” he said. “We’ll probably drop straight onto the fence on Friday and hopefully trail the trip. If she finds the line well and we can get a bit of the money, I’ll be happy.” View the full article -

More than a fifth of the horses going under the hammer at Karaka on Thursday, June 26 will be Next Gen eligible. Harness Racing New Zealand’s ownership model premiered at this year’s NZB Standardbred National Yearling Sales at Karaka and Christchurch. It was a big success with 56 Next Gen-sired yearlings being sold. Off the back of that HRNZ extended the scheme to the NZB Standardbred National Weanling Sale as well. Of the 89 lots up for sale a total of 19 are from Next Gen stallions. The stallions and lot numbers are as follows : Dancinginginthedark M (Lot 1065) E L Titan (Lot 1040, 1088) King of the North – (Lots 1012, 1036, 1071) Pebble Beach – (Lots 1003, 1035, 1038) Perfect Sting – (Lots 1004, 1016, 1020, 1028 and 1032) Ride High – (1060) Face Time Bourbon (Lot 1085) Ecurie D – (Lots 1083, 1084 and 1087) One yearling (Lot 1082) will also be eligible as his sire Captain Crunch was Next Gen eligible at this year’s National Yearling Sales in February. It’s important to note though they you don’t have to buy one of the 19 horses to get involved in Next Gen. It is one of three criteria. The other two are : Buy any weanling/yearling from the sales and have an ownership group that comprises of at least four people, where the horse is owned 30% or more by people who are born after 1985 or have never previously been registered HRNZ owners. or Buy any weanling/yearling from the sales and have it trained by someone who has not trained a Group 1 winner (as of January 1, 2026) Weanlings/yearlings sold at that sale will be eligible for a range of two-year-old bonuses in 2027 as long as they met those Next Gen criteria. They will be eligible for the three Harness Million races – Colts and Geldings, Fillies and Trotters if paid into the series. A $50,000 bonus ($35,000 will go to the owner, $10,000 to the trainer and $5000 to the breeder) will be awarded to the first Next Gen eligible horse across the line in each of those three races. A $5000 2YO Second Start bonus ($4000 to the owner, $1000 to the trainer) will also be awarded to any Next Gen eligible horses that have two race day starts during their 2YO season. This will be capped at 90 horses, with a total payout of $450,000 per year. To see more about Next Gen click here : https://www.hrnz.co.nz/next-gen-2/ View the full article
