https://www.hrnz.co.nz/news/industry-update/ Industry Update | Resumption of Racing 30 April 2020 Resumption of Racing – Stakes Levels through to the end of the 2019-20 Season After receiving advice from RITA on funding levels, HRNZ has been able to confirm a stakes structure for the race meetings from May 29 through to the end of the season on July 31. This funding is ringfenced to fund stakes, and is not part of any bulk funding allocation, either to HRNZ or to clubs. HRNZ understands that there has been some frustration for owners and trainers awaiting an update on stakes levels and we are pleased to now be in a position to provide some certainty. The minimum stake at all meetings will be $7,000. NZMTC Friday meetings and all ATC meetings - Maidens and R50 and faster horses will race for a minimum of $8,500. There will be two races at $12,000 at these meetings. All clubs are facing financial hurdles, with income from their commercial ventures under pressure and unlikely to improve significantly for some time. After a period of supporting higher stakes levels, the ATC has confirmed that it is not in a position to top-up stakes at present, however they have signalled a clear desire to do so as their income streams improve. The stake levels in this transitional period reflects the significant challenges that all racing codes and RITA face due to the way wagering has been curtailed during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to compare the stakes to the same period last year, when our industry meetings are generally running at lower stakes levels, with no Premier or Feature racing (outside the Harness Jewels). HRNZ has had no indication from RITA on proposed funding levels for the 2020-21 season and the stakes levels for this period should in no way be taken as an indication on what next season’s stakes may look like. All meetings through to the end of the season will be largely run on an open nominations basis, with fields selected to maximise wagering outcomes. It is important to note that the RITA funding is contingent on harness racing running the total scheduled number of races. The aim is to maintain field sizes at pre COVID-19 levels. The information provided by trainers suggests there will be a sizeable pool of fit horses available at the resumption of racing, which may create opportunities for extra races to be run and/or extra meetings added to the schedule. It has been a real positive for the industry to be back into full scale training this week and we appreciate the effort from our participants to abide by the requirements of Alert Levels Four and Three as we work our way towards a resumption of racing during the weekend of May 29.

unsure but he was ordered to get back in his van and head back to christchurch and stay local no matter how worried he was about his deposit receipts

titan banner ?

surely a coincidence the guy that chained himself to the equinox restaurant, bar and tab is no longer there

a wink and a nod

thank you

and the 1200m races

are you still there ?

very unlikely more chance of tab's opening in level 3

they need some competition first especially on the bookmaking front any chance we could go totalisator only for racing

how much are they looking for and roughly what for ?

just for 34 more sleeps

you would cause dan carter to drop well below 50%

its a grim read happy given its return to the codes, what the racing board / rita costs is an absolute disgrace but this has been known for quite some time 557 full time and 38 part time employees (according to wage subsidy application) fook me is that 313k a week looks like a sinking ship giving the recent reduction on incomings surely if there was good news in the overdue half yearly report it would have been released on time

brodster said you have had the daylights scared out of you so i had to ask "do you know what is scaring the living daylights out of you at present" you know how it is

as always do you know what is scaring the living daylights out of you at present ?
