It is not about restricting the @Brodie 's it is about distribruting the revenue to where you get the most sustainable return. As a Railway Sleeper salesman you know @Brodie that is basic economics/business.
This Entain Edition comes to you hot off the back of the TAB Karaka Millions meeting at Ellerslie on Saturday, and what a meeting it proved to be.
There was the perfect blend of outcomes – ranging from Australian-trained horses Dream Roca and Jigsaw winning to ensure the meeting stays on the radar of our Australian cousins, Well Written’s stunning six-length $1.5m TAB Karaka Millions 3YO victory, or the brilliant surface prepared by Jason Fulford and his team despite more than 150 millimetres of rain in the week prior.
All those elements combined to contribute to a 5% increase in turnover through TAB and betcha on Saturday, compared to the 2025 TAB Karaka Millions. Notably, there were 35% more Australians betting on the meeting through Entain’s two Australian brands, as opposed to the 2025 meeting.
Sustainability comes first?
How can we have sustainability when We are currently being operated by a gifting of millions from Entain and being very poorly utilised?
Where do the owners and trainers stand when that money is stopped?
They will not be attracting new people into those ranks when the stakes are halved and that is decidedly probable.
There are many issues that need addressing including the encouragement for wagering from the loyal punters rather than restrictions!!
This needs prioritising well before bonuses being dished out to owners, aswithout the wagering there is no racing.
