Gamma, the thing is they should not be racing for the stake money they currently are!!! It should have been used far more wisely than they have and ultimately the buck stops with Brad Steele! The stakes they have put up they just can not afford, only being paid due to the Entain cash splash. There are going to be a helluva lot of owners and trainers give it away when they are racing for significantly what they are currently racing for. -
I guess that is the only thing going for the horse, by Almanzor which is known to leave a stayer or 3, Manzoice -

the more I watch it! it appeared as if Pinn's horse arched in! as they entered the straight, I thought the inside horse had the run down that path! when does the stipes report come out? -
yes , it's one of those things. You put races on they cost money. It's very hard to do Brodster. The Australian Turf Club in Sydney have been declared Bankrupt in December and will be lucky to survive having an administrator appointed. VICTORIA harness has about the same horse and personnel (participant ) numbers as New Zealand. they were over 66 million in the red , because of operating costs , and the cost of running harness racing meetings when not many bet on them anymore . But What do you do Mate ? A lot of people are employed in different areas of Victoria. Do you just go eeny meeny minee mo ? and close some of them ? Which ones ? In NZ you say close the North Island . At least you're making your mind up I spose 🤣😂. ( I quite like the North and wouldn't do it myself but everyone's different 😉 ) Anyway the state Government have bailed the HRV out of the hole ( for a land acquisition) for 100 million , and paying the stakes for this year and next . with the Low prizemoney they race for now. YES, just like NZ they will run out of money again , but the money is allocated for all the racing for the 20-30 clubs for the next 2 seasons. If ENTAIN refuse to support you after the 2 years (as you claim) then the stakes money will drop as you say unless they get great sponsors (like you and OZ have Garrards at the moment for example) who will prop it up a bit. Ladbrokes (an Entain sub-branch) still prop up QLD harness so can't see why Entain won't prop you with someone. It was a long contract they signed with NZ TAB. All will be good . they're invested mate . all good. They won't RUN DRY mate. Don't Panic too much. People are trying hard to put races on still . Slots help the participants contribute so that is a SURE FIRE way to keep BIG prize races going. there are other ways . I've had discussions with David Brick who did such a spectacular job keeping QLD harness racing going through COVID and very trying times financially ,And he has now been poached by the galloping code accordingly, and is now Racing Queensland General Manager . A very high position. He is full of great ideas that keep the sport going. We'll send him over to help The Galah get an answer out of Brad Steele? . 💪 the Brick rules the world. -
