    • He's Victoria race for quite low prizemoney now. The stakes are being slashed constantly. There Big race of the year (to equal the NZ Cup ) is the Hunter Cup. Swayzee got $142,000 defeating Leap To Fame who got $37,000 2nd. That's just a disgrace for the best horse in the world. In nearly our Biggest race.  We race for about a half of the amount of your NZ races here in QLD ( except for the Constellations 4 week that just finished) we have 11 months of standard everyday 'boring' stuff now. which is annoying. But good for the participants.  Perhaps you race for too Much in one meeting ???  152 k  at Auckland on Friday seems a lot for a Mid Winter meeting ? Perhaps you should 'cut it in half' to meet the 'Turnover' needs some of you are desperately seeking.   Yes I just hate to think a Sport should collapse because of poor betting. NO other sport does . cricket still continues with no crowd and no Indian bookmakers lol😂😋
    • 3 more races at addington and addington have 4 winter rewards races that are a one off winter meeting. Addington don't run $35,000 races for mid grade horses like auckland do.
    • they changed that this week mikynz. so you drop a point if no extra srtake for 5th.
    • I think its very unrealsitic to think the sport will survive without betting. I know your ever the optimist,but thats  a strange one gammalite.. As to the betting product ,its all about the quality of it whether it generates betting. And i don't mean the quality of the horses/drivers trainers. its not over complicated. Actually very simple. Punters bet more on the races that they find appealing and auckland turnovers are poor because obviously,they aren't an appealing betting product. You've referenced the victorian model. Gee,if ever you wanted a blueprint of what hrnz is doing,being done in the past,just look at victoria. past unrealistic spending by adminstrators who seemed quite dumb and incompetent. They lkept putting money into stakes when generating losses (sound familiar)and ,gee,guess what,they've had to slash stakes significantly.  i really do think hrnz must have enough money in the bank to keep going paying the stakes they currently are,for the next 3-4 years as i feel the likes of mr steele will only jump ship before the shit hits the fan.And it will for sure,but mr steele won;'t be anywhere to be seen anymore. No one will get a bet on that happening as the tab would have it priced at 1.01 to happen.Actually how about they do that. come on entain,if you have any faith,put out a market on when mr steeles will go. Then we will see whether you believe what you say.Just joking,don't want to be censured.
