I'll make a prediction. Mr. Steele will stick around, talking things up until just before the Entain deal runs out, then he will say what a wonderful job he has done and go back to Australia, to leave some other poor sods to handle the fallout from the house of cards he has help create.

No BGP this year i think

Don't worry. Exactly the same applies to NZTR, so we'll all be at the same soup kitchen.

Lol, Galah mustve been a politician at some stage? Really is that the best HRNZ can do, just a nothing interview ? Surely he should be able say how many mares had been bred so far without this other BS? Mentioned Taupo racing as a positive, but didnt mention the elephants in the room! said more punters effectively but the cost of living is affecting turnover?? Mr Steele it is not the cost of living that is affecting turnover any more than other times!! You allow the TAB Bookies to stop punters from wagering, you have allowed Entain/ TAB to make poor decisions in regards to several wagering decisions and Trackside production and yet you come out with this?? If they wanted turnover to be increased then it would be exceptionslly easy to do but they would rather restrict it and not encourage wagering! HRNZ and harness participants are going to get a rude awakening shortly, as too many in the industry are scared to speak up as they will be shown the door.    

Was actually talking  about HRNZ rather than Entain, but Entain  only wanted the TAB for sports and online gambling and we can see that clearly. Not talking about HRNZ back in their hey day, it is the current way that they have been operating for the last decade! Yes harness racing is a great product not denying that, unfortunately the best of it bas been and dramatic change is close. Gamma, in the next year or so, I would be betting my last cent that you will be coming on BOAY and saying that yes Brodie you were totally on the money. No way on earth can a business be run the way it has been over the past few years and succeed!!!!! I repeat that the only way the can pay the current level of stakes is thru the hundreds of millions that they have been gifted, when that dries up???????
