the tote win pool on the open class pace at cambridge last night was $4500 and of course they had no place pool. the thing about turnovers is hrnz can cherry pick whatever they like from them, to sell the narrative they want to sell. like the auckalnd cup meeting. They no doubt can say turnover was up,because they had 2 more races. And lets not forget they are comparing turnovers,to nz turnovers in 2024. since the geo blocking,turnovers have to have gone up because punters can't bet with overseas agents. You have to remember hrnz was receiving a % from each $ those overseas betting providers turned over from their nz customer base.So geo blocking will allow hrnz to say,turnovers are up but hrnz aren't also saying how much income has been reduced from the overseas betting providers.they should if they wanted to provide context. the whole turnover/profit generated thing sounds complicated but it could easily be simplified. turnovers are obviously a very important indication of punter participation,but of just as,if not of greater importance are the revenue generated(profit) from each race and each race meeting. like what the fella cmn refers to on the other channel. Like we've said before,ff betting can be good turnover wise,but at the same time bad income(profit) wise and vice versa.It all depends how well the bookies did with their ff on each race. to accurately gauge the importance of each sector,region and grade of racing, hrnz should be providing profit loss data in relation to the aforementioned. Also they should factor in dates structure so as to not unfairly use data to paint an unfair picture. they don't. They deliberately cherry pick,crow from the roof tops if they have any story that fits their narrative of how they prioritise industry funding,then they are silent when the facts don't. only when hrnz are transparent,which they cleary aren't,only then can people accurately gauge the importance of each sector,region,grade of horse,track type, to the overall industry. Hrnz are prioritising the loss making parts of the industry over the profit making parts,whether it be regions or grade of horses. And everyone knows that makes no sense and must undermine the future abilty of the industry to pay reasonable stakemoney,effectively undermining the overall future viabilty of the industry. -

For those punters that want accurate info to assist with their punting, we often do not get it! You look at the weather report online for the Nelson area and it is saying it is fine for many days. And yet if you go to HRNZ web site, it is going to be raining?? This happens quite often with them, so do they know something that the weather forecasters don’t? I appreciate that weather can change but better putting nothing than putting that it is going to rain when it isnt? Or are they putting this up to mislead punters?? -

A Florida senator pre-filed Thoroughbred decoupling legislation Friday that contains similar language to a bill that got introduced pre-session in that state's House of Representatives 17 days ago. This latest move was expected, according to a Jan. 9 post by the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners' Association (FTBOA) on the X social media platform. “The FTBOA built Florida's protective framework. A Senate companion is how these bills move, and we are prepared,” said Lonny Powell, the FTBOA's chief executive officer, in the X post. Like HB 881 from Rep. Adam Anderson Dec. 23, SB 1564 authored by Sen. Nick DiCeglie Jan. 9 would allow Gulfstream Park and Tampa Bay Downs to be able to cease live racing while retaining their gaming rights, provided they give notice of such suspension as of July 1, 2027. After that notice, there would be a stipulation that racing would be required to continue for at least three years before either Gulfstream or Tampa could pull the plug entirely on the sport. The Senate version contained differences from the House version related to the possible transference of racing permits inside and outside of counties and also to requirements for referendums. Strikethroughs and legalese, though, made key differences in the two provisions difficult to parse. “Regardless of the confounding provisions, this is decoupling,” Powell's quote on X continued. “Alongside our fellow horsemen, breeders, owners, trainers, and industry partners, we have defeated every decoupling attempt,” Powell said. “HB 881 and SB 1564 are the latest threats. They will not be the last. And like every threat before, we will oppose them,” Powell said. The House goes into session Monday, Jan 12, with the Senate following the next day.

Programming by many of the Clubs in NZ is very poor! Nelson deserves what it gets with having these mile races on the second day of their meetings nowadays! Lunacy that they think that mile standing starts on that track is going tonentice punters to wager! Miss away slightly and you might as well pull the horse up? Unfortunately we have got people with very limited business sense continuing to make decisions that are not in the best interests of harness racing! For those that are punting in those miles, all the best as there will be some upsets over that distance you would think?
