Gamma, there is not one person in NZ that would be doing shat Seymour is dong in Ozzie! There is no one that is enthusiastic enough to be putting in tens of millions to keep harness going in NZ, Instead of blowing the Entain money on bonuses and increased stakes straight off anyone with any business acumen wouldve invested the capital and received tens of millions per year for ever plus had the massive capital contribution as well if and when required!! They really are devoid of financial competence. -
Yeah it's the Bookies who try to do the Duping. They'll say anything to extract a buck out of their 'victims' I usually watch the Saturday Gallops on TV . a 24 hour/day racing station sponsored by SportsBet. there must be a thousand Sportsbet Ad's per day broadcast between races lol. All sorts of BS trying to Dupe stupid people. BUT the worse bit to me , Is right before they jump in a race , and are assembling behind the barrier , ALL this Stuff comes On that is SUCH BS . e.g . Like market movers , Big bet of 3000 just went on this runner blah blah, the Smart money is has come for blah blah .... is just horrendous. there's anything they can think of to extract a dollar from the viewer. trying to lure them onto limited hope runners sometimes. total Duping (it's like doping !😂) They don't know which horse is a mover, or which punter is smart , even try to Dupe you with PICK of the Yard and Best Roughie to confuse the case more , and just have Anyone , Betting on anything if they had their way. . I don't bet on just anything. Just the horse I think will win a race. And Trotters are WAY more reliable than Gallopers. So galloping folks get DUPED all the time lol. (not the right distance for horse, needed the run , wasn't his Grand final , so much bullshit like that you throw up after wasting your money on them. lol Duped. 🤣 Pacers better value . Always have been and always will. some horses give 100% Every start of their lives and a re easy to recognize. just get rid of the silly standing starts and the crazy 15 horse fields (make it 10) and Easy money. -
Old Mick loves talking…. Load of BS…..This lump sum money from Entain, will make stuff all difference. It will just go into their dwindling pot…. will be costing them heaps with ads etc, telling punters they can no longer bet overseas. Funny how the Tab is relying on youngsters increased gambling on basketball… to help fix gallops tracks, FFS what a sham. -
Exactly 🏆👍. Now you're talking !!! You are obviously excellent at saving for the future and budgeting what you need , well ahead of time. Running a Government , a HRNZ , and funding all the goings on , they just spend what they have , as they go. Even most people just Live week to week (50% of people these days apparently) with out saving for the future. Thank God for Superannuation being brought in the 90's to force us to save for the future . I'm amazed at what they can spend on racing Prizemoney. This July in Brisbane we are racing for 100's of thousands of dollars. I asked David Brick (the new QLD racing general manager , who was the Manager of QLD harness for 7 years prior ) where the hell does All the money come from , .When I applied to be Handicapper . He just said from all sorts of sources. YES the Prizemoney flutuates over the years to do With Sponsors and all sorts of things. You've seen it ? The NZ Cup goes up and down like a yo-yo . The Interdominion has varied greatly over the years. This year the winner (Probably 'Leap To Fame' ) will get $520,000 first prize. When I went to Tassie with his illustrious QLD predecessor 'Blacks A Fake' , Blackie got $1,000,000 first prize. It's all to do with Sponsorship and Interested parties at the time ( the years the racing is run) . Currently in NZ , Interest in Harness is high for a major interested Party > ENTAIN . so you (HRNZ ) can lap it up while the going is good. and spend it. And the Participants Get a quid for a while. Excellent stuff.!!!!! Brodie keeps saying it stops at 5 years , so if that's the case , someone else will step up to the plate. Even if the prizemoney for the NZ Cup has to Cut in half . so be it. Victoria has slashed prizemoney recent years from what it was as they are running broke. But press on anyway with out grizzling too much. still optimistic . someone like Seymour might step in . Seymour currently is bailing out the broke South Australia trotting board. What a legend he is !!! that's what you need mate. more legends 👍😉💰

so you do understand,as you say "when funding decreases so will your prizemoney.Just a normal progression" so really the difference with your view and my view is not related to how much money hrnz have to spend. its you see no problem with HRNZ spending up now,keeping prizemoney up now,then when they tapped their reserves, just decrease prizemoney.Thats what you said above anyway. So your thinking is similar to what those in charge at hrn appear to have. Only difference between you and them is some of those at hrnz will have an exit strategy when the funding decrease happens, whereas you will still be supporting harness racing.. in effect thats a strategy which limits negative impacts on harness racing people now,but substantially increases the negative impacts later. Whereas my opinion,and that of many others is,HRNZ shouldn't be diminishing their cash reserves at the rate they are,as there will come a point when stakes will have to be cut,and unfortunately they will need to be cut to levels, which will result in less particpation across the industry, which will send nz harness racing in to a steep decline from which they will never fully recover from. its like someone is leading a life where they have a job that pays ok and they can afford the costof living , and put aside some money in the bank.Then they find out they've been taken off contract and put on an hourly wage ,the effect of which is to cut their income where their outgoings excede their incoming $.That person has 2 main choices,cut out any excess spending and use the money in the bank to maintain the a reasonable tandard living,or the 2nd alternative of making no cuts to their spending,use discretion as to when they use some of the money they have in the bank, until it runs out. The person who kept spending,day of reckoning come far quicker that the person who didn't. Andlife is tough when it happens.
