Only so many ponies to go around in this industry T4eva and on February tracks as well.

But they've moved some of the big races and things are going great!

He is getting very brave also, he doesn't even postscript it with " Just my opinion " anymore.

"Turnovers = Top Secret "or at least that appears to be the case. I keep hearing the same about Turnovers , but I just can't get my head around them having increased at all, not the least significantly at the moment. Everything in this industry is giving the indication that little has changed apart from stakes (i.e. crowds) . The meetings I've attended recently seem to have the same number of patrons on course as they ever have, its just as easy to get a bet on (if you take into account how they have made it harder to for us older ones) but I don't see people betting more in fact it appears as if punters are being more careful with their hard earned. Apart from the World Pool , which is a "give me" . I can't see where this is occurring ... massive punting on peoples phones or sports betting?

Looks mowed

Keeping them honest Chief , great work!

I tried to , but no buyers they are all buying up shares in racehorses!

Not just the systems that need to go.

I missed this race , we're horses left in barrier again?

This year might be an exception with both of the horses looking like they have rare ability and both could have some luck and go on with it, i.e. wouldn't be beyond reason to see them both in a Cox Plate. Surely that has to create some much needed interest for the sport here, real interest not the fabricated type like KM or the NZ Kiwi.

I agree and I don't we can keep them here, look at Oaks & Derby favs both off to Aus never to be seen again on these shores after their respective goals.

I think the only stipulation is you have to be a TAB Account holder to be part of it.

The worst part is , we will record the aftermath of the race and show you after the next race from wah wah , thats really annoying!

Be lucky if he can achieve 2 out of 5 , main focus will be on 2 which will really put the dagger in the back of the sport. I always finding it amusing how the fools who write these articles and refer to Venue Rationalization as some kind of cost savings for the industry, I've never understood that .

You're in a racing club that owns the horses , you get benefits & no costs, regular updates etc. I don't care what anyone says you're not experiencing true ownership until you're paying the bills !

It all looks a bit embarrassing at the moment, I still can't work out how its supposed to benefit NZ racing.

I think the real question is , why lock in so early?

Surely it's too good of a deal with Rogerson to let go of.

Look around you, make your own conculsions.

Read the post & stop trying to be clever , you literally think they are going to set up Sha Tin exactly as it is?

Casino background to ensure he doesn't upset the Entain group?

Number of tracks has contributed to the drop in horses in training. The current state of NZ tracks you need all the tracks you can get. Entain think Ellerslie is going to be Sha Tin and that model will work over here, I'm not convinced are you?

How many tracks are screwed in this country? Why are we in a position to get rid of any of them , given the abandonment record across the spectrum in this country?

Rubbish ! It's a by product of not having enough venues to cope with the programmed racing.

They'll make it up.
