    • I would think Brodster means just should stop investing on that driver/jockey for a while, that they are not happy with?. Not drop everyone altogether. I definitely have a pattern of using particular drivers /jockeys as quite often the horses are quite equal ( except for barrier and weights sometimes) as they need to be 'Steered To Win' no matter who they are. even Leap To Fame. There are several drivers I never take on the ticket , (as just don't want to lose my money on them 😂😉) 
    • If you are talking the latest accounts you can't draw any conclusions because the revenue isn't related to profit from turnover.  Probably the only relevant Annual accounts is the 2019 Annual Report.  Sports Turnover was 26% of total turnover.  $10m was paid to Sporting Organisations based on a % of turnover and betting margin earned on their respective sports.  You are now saying that is $26m however we don't don't what the total turnover on fixed odds sports was.    I don't disagree that Racing is taking some of the Sports Cake.  Whether they are getting a fair share can only be speculated on as we don't know what the agreements are or the individual costs.  I'm sure each sporting organisation has the nous to negotiate a deal that is fair to themselves and there are avenues for addressing anything untoward. Don't forget Sporting Organisations have sources of funding that Racing doesn't have. As for "bowing to my superior knowledge" there is no need to play dumb around here.
    • if that happened ,who would be left?  its a bit like saying,if a  member of a sports team you follow makes a bad tactical play,you can't express an opinion to that effect and if you do, you should really stop following that sport. Are people that thin skinned they can't handle comments,irrespective of whether they are justified or not?   Besides,people can work out whether criticism is over the top or coming from someone who gets a bit carried away sometimes.  
    • Read the TAB accounts chief Racing got 225m sport got 26m so you are telling me that the TAB generated 225m from racing and 26m from sports, even blind freddy can join the dots on that one. And yes the point is the legislation does allow for what is happening as per the above distribution, but laws can and are regularly changed, and as i stated earlier more and more sports globally are generating cash from betting on their sport, and i will once again bow to your superior knowledge on the subject, but to me the split looks a bit like racing is taking some of sports cake, and maybe some sports administrators may begin to think the same.
    • So there is basically an advert in the weekend herald, trying to hock the land at Pukekohe. So that indicates that there is no buyer and the club is racking up somewhere between 500 and 600k a month in interest which is being added to the debt, and generally these types of deals have pretty long settlements if a buyer is found 6 to 12 months.
