I have read where Entain is cutting costs like laying off many staff in Australasia,
Reality I dont believe has hit home at any stage with HRNZ that their woeful handling of the Entain cash splash is going to be a nail in the coffin of harness racing in many parts of NZ!
Just do not get it that these people on big salaries at the TAB and HRNZ are just not intelligent enough to acknowledge that they have stuffed up!
Anyway not happy that some of us are going to be proven right when Entain does pull the pin on all this funding as it will affect so many in the industry hugely.
Not sure it is a particularly financially sound idea to be breeding standardbreds this year, as by the time they are old enough to race they will be racing for significantly lower stakes unfortunately.
The Entain deal has been mishandled shockingly and we have been telling them this for a long time, but then we arent on the pay roll on big salaries and trying to make things look better than they actually are!
