    • seems like the same charges Chief. ENTAIN doing exactly what Star Entertainment did .  You Cannot take Bets from known Criminal organisations to 'Move their Proceeds of crime'  ENTAIN have had more than just our great trotting man Dean resign. there's a few.  This All sounds VERY serious. Sorry I didn't see what you discussed on Gallops thread . But here's something for the Trotting blokes to chew on. Brodster said ENTAIN would be the death of NZ racing . certainly they are sticking some dynamite around anyway.  here's a snippet from earlier in the year from the guardian The deputy chief executive officer of one of the biggest gambling companies in Australia, Entain, has resigned in the midst of a high-profile legal challenge by the nation’s financial intelligence agency. Lachlan Fitt has served as the chief financial officer of Entain Australia, which runs the Ladbrokes and Neds gambling brands in Australia, since 2018, and has driven the company’s mergers and acquisitions strategy.   The managing director of Entain NZ, Cameron Rodger, has also resigned, just one week after the global chief executive, Gavin Isaacs, left the company with immediate effect The resignations come at a delicate time for the global gambling giant, which was taken to the federal court by Australia’s financial intelligence agency (Austrac) in December. Austrac alleges Entain committed “serious and systemic non-compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws”. Austrac accused Entain of accepting $152m in bets from 17 high-risk customers who had “suspected criminal profiles and associations” despite being aware they may have been laundering money, federal court documents allege.
    • Yes that appears to be @Pitman 's business model and the strike rate of 10.7 reflects that. @Pitman has the same opportunities to adapt the same model as Te Akau to the South Island conditions.  Don't forget he has won two National Premierships from his South island base.  So not impossible. How is it "unfair"?  I've yet to see anyone post anything anywhere online that convinces me that it is unfair.  Riccarton and South Island racing in general would be all the poorer without Te Akau's significant investment in their Riccarton stables and other support services. I don't understand why everyone is so quick to knock Te Akau for any reason they can find.  Riccarton isn't a "satellite stable" whatever that really means.  It is a full time operation from which horses raced 305 times last season representing 37% of Te Akau's starts nationwide. Only Pitman and Carston had more. @Newmarket are you becoming NZ Racing's Prince of Darkness?  
    • BLACKOUT TIME, ELP, 8/2, 1 mile, 'TDN Rising Star' Beyer Speed Figure- 83 (c, 2, by Not This Time–Beauty Parlor, by Elusive Quality) O-Brookdale Racing and Lance Gasaway. B-Newstead Corp (Ky). T-Kenny McPeek. J-Brian Hernandez Jr. McPeek has another promising juvenile and he's already gone a mile. Blackout Time–out of a Joe Allen owned-and-bred graded turf winner – debuted with a strong 2nd behind Dazzle d'Oro at Churchill and Saturday he sped 9 3/4 lengths ahead of a full field of juveniles that included two Asmussens, two Coxes, two Casses and a Walsh. BUETANE, DMR, 8/3, 5 furlongs, 'TDN Rising Star' (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 83 (c, 2, by Tiz The Law–Taboo, by Forestry) O-Zedan Racing Stables. B-Merriebelle Stable (Ky). T-Bob Baffert. J-Juan Hernandez. Amr Zedan topped this list last week thanks to Brant's 101 Beyer. One month after shelling out an OBS record $3 million for Brant, Zedan took home Buetane for $1.15 million and now he has a nice one-two punch for upcoming Del Mar 2-year-old stakes. Buetane had 3 1/2 lengths on fellow Baffert firster Falcon Jet, who was 7 1/4 ahead of the others. ITS BOURBON THIRTY, ELP, 8/1, 5 1/2 furlongs (turf) Beyer Speed Figure- 84 (g, 4, by Outwork–Seattle Artist, by Stormy Atlantic) O-Howling Pigeon Farms. B-Paul King (Ky). T-Jeremiah O'Dwyer. J-Luan Machado. He started his career 0-for-5 in races on turf and Tapeta, all around two turns. But O'Dwyer cut him back from 9 furlongs to 5 1/2, added blinkers, and watched him lead from start to finish at 6-1 odds. Its Bourbon Thirty is a fitting name for a Kentucky-bred, and those who hit this $1,389 dime superfecta Friday were probably knocking back a few. GLORIOUS LIFE, DMR, 8/2, 5 furlongs (turf) (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 88 (g, 5, by Vronsky–Glorious Luck, by Lucky J.H.) O/B-Harris Farms (Cal). T-Carla Gaines. J-Kazushi Kimura. He's from one of the most productive female families nurtured by California breeding legend John Harris, who passed away July 2. The 5-year-old had only four previous races, hadn't started in 10 months and also had been gelded in the interim. Gaines had already hit the board three times at Del Mar with long-layoff runners and had this one primed for a lifetime best off the bench. DELIGHTFUL CLAIRE, SAR, 8/2, 7 furlongs, 'TDN Rising Star' (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 95 (f, 3, by Thousand Words–Izshelegal, by Maria's Mon) O-Rigney Racing.  B-Gmbracstables, Mr. and Mrs. Ramon Rangel and Mr. and Mrs. Zachary Mad (Ky). T-Phil Bauer. J-Joel Rosario. She was bet down to 8-5 in her June debut at Churchill but was done in by wickedly fast fractions and a talented Mott filly. Then she stepped up her game Saturday in a huge way, putting a 9 1/4-length bruising on a decent field strung out a quarter-mile behind her. Her half-brother Crazy Mason came from the clouds to win the Carter four months back, but she has plenty of speed.

    • I hope you're right Chief. BUT to go to Federal Court is Very Serious indeed. ENTAIN are charged with Serious and Systemic NON Compliance with anti- money laundering financing laws.   The Entain share price is heading Downwards mate. be like a car off a cliff shortly.  Dean Shannon is a TOP bloke that I knew racing harness horses. He would of been SCRAMBLING for the Door Chief , with all the Entain case about to happen. His involvement is unknown , but the CEO generally takes the Fall first when a company is on the ropes. He should just return to QLD and race his trotters I reckon. Take Seymour on 👍😎 and keep out of those Federal Courts.  
    • Doesn't a 50% cost subtracted from 100%, leave 50% gross in the Entain accounts?
