Which Clubs have the funds to maintain them and which ones are on a regular basis? That is the fundamental question. -

Based on what evidence? If they do then yes they probably are on pay with Ellerslie in terms of what the punter perceives as a quality product. I note with 15 mins before the start of race 1 they have $4,500 in the W/P pools. -
In England the racing industry lobbied hard to persuade the exchequer not to increase taxes in the budget released over there this week. They are delighted they have succeeded, no increases but sports betting is going to get a 60% hit, going up from 15% to 25% from April 2027. Betting on horse racing has been declining in England year on year so this will help in 18 months time but what will they, their industry leaders, do in the meantime to improve 'the racing product'? I pose the same question to our industry leaders. An increase to the takeout on sports betting in NZ is not a case of if, rather when? Decent tracks, calendar/pattern and fields are critical to making our industry look attractive to the casual punter. -

Pretty funny how these clowns stay corrupt right to the end. I heard a certain someone couldn’t make the heats for the Spion Rose, so they tried shifting it to Christchurch. When that didn’t fly, they just slashed the stake money from 50k down to 30k without telling anyone when its been advertised as 50k from the start of the season. -
yes,i agree with that. but you haven't commented on what i said about the strength of harness racing, used to be the level of grass root particpation.(its not now) I'm not sure whether you've ignored that because it can't be argued with. but its obvious you simply believe prioritsing the elite over the grass root people is good policy. And everyone agrees the sport is in serious decline. so its simple,the current policies have contributed to the sports decline. Simple as that. and just as simple,is the point i keep making to you,which you have no answer to. that is,when hrnz have spent all the entain cash and forbury money and cash reserves,which they currently are doing,well what happens then . Because your argument is always the rich and the elite need to be financially rewarded and prioritised. so if we extrapolate out your argument,for me,the logical conclusion is you must believe, the rich leave the sport when the money runs out. your the one saying without all the big stakes and bonuses,the sport will lose them.I'm the one saying that won't happen,your the one saying it will. so where is the sport going to be in 10 years time,as hrnz will have spent that money well before then. Maybe what will happen in 10 years is hrnz can sell up auckland,sieze their assets,promise to keep the monet in the north then cunningly work around that to support the south island as that will be the only place which can generate a profirt to keep the sport going.Just saying,in 10 years time,i bet my botto9m $,that is what some peopkle will be pushing and the reason why the industry eneded up considering that will have been because of poor fiscal responsibilty in the now.
