If you are going to change anything, this is the time to be doing it before the dates setting process gets under way in the new year. Once those are finalised in May, it's too late.

Entain love and encourage it because those races sell more bets, even though they are our worst performers on a wagering revenue to stakes basis. All good for them though as long as clubs, NZTR and the wider industry are funding it.

Yes. That's an improvement. Unfortunately, flank use is only still covered by the improper and inappropriate manner provisions but as far as I know has never been enforced.
Agree about GRNZ but his argument that racing is a dangerous sport where horses and humans get injured and die, while correct, has nothing to do with beating horses for entertainment. It is moot. Didn't really seem to have much else to offer.
