From the actions (or inactions) I have seen to date the only way that they can maintain stake levels is to reduce the number of races or borrow more or sell assets (that they don't have).

FFS Brent can you stop trolling.

Too busy hiding in bushes! FFS someone tried to suggest that they could do their job by sitting in a remote broadcast bunker! Can anyone explain what Godber actually does?

What about the $19m given to the Far North Holdings Ltd (RITA's Bill Birnie is a Director of that as well) to build business and innovation centre in Kaikohe!!!!!

Or the new collective - Racing NZ?

They still don't. The only assets they remotely have are intangible and they aren't worth the intangible paper they are written on. I would expect not for a number of reasons. Banks are not stupid - sustainable cash flow is important; RITA doesn't own the surplus assets at this point in time. Even the flawed legislation doesn't guarantee that. Banks don't really give much credit to might or maybe (excuse the pun); There aren't as many assets of any value that can be acquired under the new Act as we all might think (I must finish the analysis on that!); and so on... It is fairly simple really - if I was the Bank Manager I'd ask a simple question - Why does the Cambridge Jockey Club need a Government handout if they can't afford to fund their own track when they are the largest training operation in Australia and NZ by number of horses being trained?
