There was already money allocated in the budget for track infrastructure. I might add that $10m would barely fix one track. -

9th-Saratoga, $110,000, Alw (NW1$X)/Opt. Clm ($100,000), 8-7, 3yo, 1mT, 1:35.03, fm, 3/4 length. STARS AND STRIDES (c, 3, American Pharoah–Holiday Blues, by Ghostzapper) debuted a winner by a head over a sloppy track at the Spa June 7, then was well-beaten behind Rookie Card (Adios Charlie) when he caught a fast main in an allowance race upstate July 19. Trying turf and off as a 9-1 shot here, the colt was up on the pace in the early stages before being taken back into the second flight before the first turn. A trio of pacesetters pushed one another along as the field entered the backstretch, but Stars And Strides was patiently being handled in the meantime. Entering the far turn, jockey Junior Alvarado began to let out the throttle on his mount and the 3-year-old tipped to the two path off the rail. The bay went after the lone longshot leader Landing Craft (Omaha Beach) on the straight, but a misstep nearly derailed his run to the wire. Getting things sorted by the sixteenth pole, Stars And Strides found the right gear and reached the wire by 3/4 length to the good over a charging Griffin's Wharf (Constitution). The winner is a half-brother to Panther Island (Speightstown), SW, $254,120. Holiday Blues produced filly Jet Mist (Frosted) who is currently an unraced 2-year-old and a colt by Maxfield, now a yearling. This dam was a $210,000 buy for Maytime Bloodstock during the 2025 Keeneland January Sale, while an April filly by Arcangelo was in-utero. Holiday Blues was bred to McKinzie for 2026. As for Stars And Strides's grand dam, Canadian MSW Deputy Cures Blues (War Deputy), she is responsible for MSW Wine Police (Speightstown). This is an extended female family that includes Canadian SW Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk (Mutakddim). Sales History: $160,000 Wlg '22 KEENOV; $475,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0, $116,050.

NZTR Announces Strategic Restructure and Leadership Changes New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) has today announced a strategic restructure of its leadership team, following a comprehensive review of its management structure to better align with the strategic priorities for the 2025/26 season and beyond. Following this review, NZTR has disestablished the roles of Chief Operating Officer (Darin Balcombe), Chief Customer Officer (vacant), and Head of Marketing, Communications and Wagering Partnerships (Dan Smith). In their place, four new senior leadership roles have been created to reflect the evolving needs of the industry: · General Manager – Racing · General Manager – Welfare & Industry Capability · General Manager – Strategy & Transformation · General Manager – Brand Experience, Communications & Industry Promotion “These changes reflect feedback we have received from industry participants about the need to enhance our leadership capability and sharpen our focus on delivering better outcomes,” Ballesty said.” “Bold change is the theme of our strategic focus going forward and this restructure is a key part of enabling that.” Under the revised structure, NZTR is pleased to announce that Dan Smith, previously Head of Marketing, Communications and Wagering Partnerships, will move into the newly created position of General Manager – Strategy & Transformation, a role pivotal to driving implementation of the Strategic Plan with urgency, accountability, and focus. “Congratulations to Dan on this well-deserved appointment,” Ballesty said. “His leadership, industry insight and strategic experience make him the right person to lead this important area of work.” The organisation also acknowledged the longstanding contribution of Darin Balcombe, who will continue to serve as Chief Operating Officer until October while remaining Acting CEO of HBRI. “NZTR is working closely with Darin to explore a future role that harnesses his extensive experience and deep knowledge of the racing industry,” said Ballesty. “I would like to acknowledge Darin’s significant contribution to NZTR as COO and we will continue to work with him through this transition.” The remaining General Manager roles will be advertised at careers.loveracing.nz and shared through wider industry channels in the coming days. “These changes are about building the right leadership framework to deliver on our ambitions,” Ballesty added. “With several exciting initiatives already underway, I am confident that with the right people in the right roles, we are well-positioned to deliver for our participants and the wider industry in the years ahead.” Corporate Communications New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing nztrcommunications@nztr.co.nz

I see no ones answered this so i will give it a go. someone could correct me if its not entirely accurate,as at today,but this is how i understand the money generated from sports betting is distributed . The new zealand sports organisations,each have a signed agreement with the tab,giving the tab approval to operate sports betting on their individual sports and they have an agreement in how they are reimbursed by the tab from money bet. At one point the national sporting bodies,as a colllective,were pushing the tab to give them...a minimum of 23% net betting revenue to each relevant national sporting body plus 3% of net betting revenue to the wider sport sector via nz sport. that was just a minimum with individual nz sports organisations able to negotiate greater % with the tab. so as far as the sport betting goes the money flowws like this,the tab would deduct all the costs of providing the product,the sporting organisations get their share,enain get their share and nz racing their share.With greyhounds no longer there from next year then th likes of gallops are harness will get what would have been their share as well. so the geo blocking should be a major plus for nz racing because of the sports betting income boost,even if it doesn't help the racing income side. of course,sometimes sports betting revenue net profit varies whatever the turnover. E.g entains usa sports betting partner had a bad year last year because of all the favorites winning in the gridiron. but exactly how much,only time will tell . thats my take on how it works anyway.
