Gamma, Cambridge Club is broke as!
Garrick Knight wrote an article on Cambridge and effectively they are totally in the shite if HRNZ doesnt but land from it!
They have a loan to HRNZ fir a million that they can not repay as they havent got the money as the cupboard is bare as they are losing money!
They owe 500k in tax that they can not pay.
Andrew Neal took over from David Branch who majorly stuffed up when he came back from Queensland sats things are dire, just as we knew!
The club put mega dollars into the Stupid Slot Races which was always unnecessary and without s bailout from HRNZ they will not be able to continue to race!
Auckland is just a cot case and they will eventually fold as they have not got the ability to trade out!
You are saying HRNZ are doing a great job, they actually are totally out of their depth unfortunately and need to go under control of people with business acumen.
It is a very sad state of affairs in the North island and sugar soaping the predicament thst it is in, just will not cut the mustard!
There is no one in NZ stupid enough to contribute mega millions to salvage racing once Entain stops contributing, unless Kevin Seymour or Boots are keen??
I assume horse may be competitive at Manawatu class racing, which if thats the case not interested. But wouldnt surprise me if mickey house snaps it up
Was Eric Percy doing the commentaries back in those days, he seemed to be around forever, I can recall going to a equaliser meeting at Murchison back in the day, think was a small all weather track, may have been close to the river, was many a year ago.
Riverton Races early 80s.all kids got a cardboard ticket with only the race number printed on it.Before each race you got to pick a horse then go&get your card stamped.If your horse won,you then raced off to get your chocolate bar.............absolute GOLD in those days!!!!!
