Slot races are not the answer. You need something that creates money not redistributes it. Slot races may be good marketing events but they do not increase wagering turnover or increase field sizes, especially if there is a Keayang Zahara in the field paying 1.04

That's a fair criticism to make. But even poor performance by both doesn't mean one is responsible for managing the other's finances. HRNZ is accountable for HRNZ's financial decisions, and Entain is accountable for delivering on its own commercial obligations. They're related, but they're not the same responsibility.

Locked wheels I spoke to Tim and you can see it on the video.

I just saw it finished 254m last

If there ever was a case for a late scratching it was Rahm at Alexandra Park tonight. Never seen in the score up never mentioned in the commentary and was like it had not even made it to the track. What happened to it?

Yes needs a big track to show its best. Get on next time at Winton, Wyndham or at Ashburton.

They should sell Cambridge and ATC and move somewhere in the area between the two. Build a new track with a big straight and future proof the area for years to come. If they had any nous they would have been pushing for this a long time ago. You can see how the fields have improved since there is only one meeting a week.

Well a handout from Govt would be the only way it survives or it wouldn't surprise me to see the new reform in place trying to use money from other jurisdictions blindly trying to keep it going.

Careful! Her indoors account might be next on the list 🤣

Yes these days they have no balls. They try to bury the fact they have no balls by calling it "risk management" but it still doesn't hide the fact they have no balls. $8 is hardly a business threatening position for Entain and I thought punters were promised a more competitive TAB under the Entain banner but increasingly we are being met with more restrictive limits, something I said would happen if a UK based bookmaker ever took charge of New Zealand wagering.

Welcome to the club. 🤣 And they wonder why turnover is down. 🤡

The next press release should complete the jargon bingo card: "Following extensive stakeholder engagement and a robust consultation process, a strategic roadmap has been developed to deliver sustainable outcomes through a future focused transformation framework." Corporate speak for "We don't have the answers yet, but we've got enough buzzwords to make it sound like we do."

Every update seems to contain lots of jargon like "working group", "engagement", "workshops" and "future planning". I wondered when they were going to throw an MOU in there and sure enough here it is.

They can race for free. No stakes needed just as long as the good old trainers Herlihy and Barry Purdon can still put on a good show for their multimillionaire owners, all will be good. Just ask Gamma he will vouch for that.
