Dazza not Bazza

It could be any course or group of courses but what I am saying would be beneficial for punters anywhere and everywhere and here is another idea ,what would/could happen if the clubs got control of the jackpots that they generate?What if they made them easier(concessions)terminate on the final race on the day ,or terminate on the season finale,I am sure there are other ways of injecting a bit of interest in jackpots that the clubs could do a better job of in a small way that might have a bigger payoff nationwide.I must say that I am against the current system of partial payouts (who wants to win LESS MONEY?)

Certainly it would be a difficult if not impossible task ,but most if not all club committees are composed of capable people with a vast knowledge of business inside and outside racing so if ANYONE could do it ,they could. IMO what they should do is something like this....Timaru and ashburton ,maybe rangiora team up and request a block of consecutive wednesdays in sept oct leading up to nz cup week,they would program lead up / qualifying races for the cup and other stakes races AND they could create a stand alone series of their own with grand finals at one of those tracks OR riccarton (it could strengthen the middle day considerably) I chose timaru because it fits perfectly but as we all know it is closing, but any club should be able to make a compelling case with a little help from other clubs.However some clubs must go !! and the ones that deserve to stay will have to fight to the bitter end but just moaning wont help,they need a plan and I think those business leaders who man the club committees can formulate one or two (or iron out the wrinkles in my idea)

I think the clubs should take matters into their own hands,as much as possible and be more proactive in the way that meetings are scheduled.If the smaller clubs banded together in the regions to form 'circuits'racing on the midweek days leading up towards major carnivals.This would have many benefits such as more consistent form for punters(nz AND overseas) reduced travelling costs if horses can be stabled in one spot for up to two months al la ruakaka,the possibility of a grand final day for all grades with incentives for owners AND punters.This would /should be led by the clubs as it will possibly be contrary to the messara plan for closures but it would give ANY club the chance to survive by teaming up with other clubs . More money is spent on nz racing by overseas punters than kiwis so we MUST give those punters a more consistent product if you want more turnover(every wed northern ,thu cd,fri sth island)with the same horses, same jockeys,racing on the same surface week after week it must be better for all and at the very least would be more cost effective for the same crap
