    • I came across some NZ consumer market research 10-15 years ago, I wish I could find it again, but it does emphasize your point. In a nutshell it said that they did not bet because they had the perception they were at a disadvantage compared to people in the industry.  The only positive to come out, was that a day at the races was perceived very well.  The closest parallel to that is I guess, insider trading on the stock market As an example of what Racing were up against.  With Lotto, a certain percentage of every dollar spent by the public was automatically deducted to go into a marketing fund.  This allowed for major advertising on mainstream media that built the 'brand' Lotto to the extent it has become a major part of the NZ psyche. NZ Racing tried to copy it with Triple Trio, but it was a rank failure  
    • The 1% Club, a new fundraising initiative designed to unite consignors, breeders, and buyers in support of Racing Welfare, was launched on Wednesday. Through the scheme, consignors and breeders are invited to nominate one yearling from their draft at the upcoming Tattersalls October Yearling Sales, pledging 1% of its sale price to Racing Welfare. Participating horses will be highlighted in sales catalogues, signalling to buyers and the wider industry their valuable contribution to the welfare of racing's people. Chasemore Farm has nominated lot 1827, a bay filly by Pinatubo out of Parsnip (Zebedee), who will sell on Friday, October 17. Newsells Park Stud is also supporting the new initiative and they have nominated lot 608, a son of Palace Pier. Hillwood Stud has put forward lot 1599, a colt by A'Ali, as their nominee. To find out more about the 1% Club or join, please visit the Racing Welfare website. Dawn Goodfellow, chief executive of Racing Welfare, said: “Racing Welfare exists to care for the people who care for racing. As a charity which receives no government funding, we need to raise £3m each year to provide our vital support services to the people who keep British horseracing and Thoroughbred breeding running – 24/7, 365 days a year. We can only do this thanks to the generosity of our donors and the 1% Club is a simple yet powerful way of enabling people to show their support. A small pledge from individuals can have a transformational impact when combined and we are hugely grateful to those who have already shown their support and signed up.” The post Racing Welfare Launches 1% Club Ahead Of Tattersalls October appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • What Hawkesbury races Where Hawkesbury Race Club – 1 Racecourse Rd, Clarendon NSW 2756 When Thursday, September 25, 2025 First Race 1:05pm AEST Visit Dabble Provincial racing in New South Wales heads to Hawkesbury with a competitive eight-race meeting this Thursday. Perfect conditions above will mirror those on the track, with the Good 4 rating expected to hold through the program, while the rail is out +2m from the 1100m-450m and sticking true for the remainder. Below are our top betting tips for Hawkesbury races on September 25, with the action set to commence at 1:05pm AEST. Best Bet at Hawkesbury: Nepo Baby Fresh off a slick debut win at Scone over 1100m, Nepo Baby returns to the same trip and gets in light with the 2kg claim. From barrier five, expect Mollie Fitzgerald to use her natural pace to hold a prominent spot before letting the filly roll through the gears on the Good 4. With a cheap sectional, Nepo Baby should prove hard to catch again. Best Bet Race 7 – #9 Nepo Baby (5) 3yo Filly | T: Annabel & Rob Archibald | J: Mollie Fitzgerald (a2) (55.5kg) Next Best at Hawkesbury: Tambeloa Tambeloa was strong winning the a Super Maiden at Warwick Farm (1600m) and now dips into a Midway Class 1 over 1500m. He draws sweetly in gate five for Jay Ford and should land just off the speed, ideal for the Hawkesbury bend. The colt’s profile says he’ll be even better as the tempo builds late, and the step back in grade offsets the slight drop in trip. Next Best Race 2 – #3 Tambeloa (5) 3yo Colt | T: Kristen Buchanan | J: Jay Ford (59kg) Next Best Again at Hawkesbury: Exclusive Artist Exclusive Artist has been holding metro BM72 form and looks well placed, dropping to a provincial BM64 with blinkers on for the first time. From barrier three she can settle a pair closer, and the 2kg claim brings her down to a workable impost. Her record on Good tracks is solid, and stretching to 1800m may unlock a new peak given her closing splits at 1550–1600m. Exclusive Artist is a mare who can stalk, peel, pounce late and justify her short quote with horse racing bookmakers. Next Best Again Race 6 – #5 Exclusive Artist (3) 4yo Mare | T: Annabel & Rob Archibald | J: Mollie Fitzgerald (a2) (59kg) Thursday quaddie tips for Hawkesbury Hawkesbury quadrella selections September 25, 2025 1-2-4-5-6 5-9 1-9 1-2-3-5 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • Classic winner Scandinavia will not travel Down Under for a G1 Melbourne Cup engagement in November, trainer Aidan O'Brien revealed. The son of Justify, fresh off consecutive victories in the G1 Goodwood Cup and the G1 St Leger, will head to winter quarters instead with an eye to Royal Ascot's G1 Gold Cup in June. O'Brien told the PA news agency of the Coolmore partners' runner, “He's not going [to Australia], he's finished for the year and will be trained for the Gold Cup next year.” Placed twice from three starts as a juvenile, the son of Fabulous (Galileo) graduated in a Navan maiden in May and ran fifth in the G2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. He dominated the G3 Bahrain Trophy Stakes at Newmarket in July prior to his brace of top-level victories.

    • Haha , I ain't been on  any payroll for nearly 20 years . Born with little ,I soon worked out god gave us two ends , one to sit on and one to think with . If you do the form ,follow trials and race films and bet on trainers and jockeys/drivers ,not horses its EASY to make a good tax free living . And Ive always bet on NZTAB [forever] and always on the tote and don't worry about the gimmicks ! Aussie racing is great too ! Success depends on which end you use most ,Heads you win , tails you lose ! Racing never been better , so much info ,so many choices and more big meetings for a great day out ! So Exciting ! 😀😀
