    • You can't help yourself @Huey .  I know this will wind you up hence I'm posting it.  I see Mark Walker (Te Akau) received an Award from Southside Racing (Cranbourne and Pakenham) for the "Best Strike Rate Trainer" for the last season!  Plus the South Island Trainers championship! If you think the black type racing is New Zealand is weak then I guess you haven't tried to win some!
    • Remember though, Entain's focus is on promoting wagering, not racing
    • I think there are some solid green shoots emerging (just not on renovated tracks) with ENTAIN efforts.  The 20 to 30 demographic are where the money is now.  I wouldn't spend a dollar on the perpetually cynical age group.
    • The only thing I would add is that the top class facilities should be focussed on the horses first!  
    • What specific demographic are you referring to?  The Corporate sponsors that held customer events at the races?  Well they are normally catered for at Hastings.  The family picnic group?  Yes Waipuk catered to them but they don't actually punt much!  You could just as easily catered for them on the lawn at Hastings.  In the rest of the country they are well catered for over the summer months. The Hawkes Bay hanger-on's and racing elite?   Which demographic? Misinformation - I've been to a few Grp 1's in the last 18 months and I assure you there was enough in attendance that I had to queue for a beer!  You're so out of touch. Yes I agree "ignoring the foundation of racing" will result in its demise.  But you and I disagree with what the foundation is.  My view of the foundation is providing good, safe and fair surfaces for horses to run on.  Also providing well maintained core racing infrastructure.  I'm sorry but a picnic meeting at Waipukurau or Kumara isn't the foundation of NZ Racing.
