    Correct. The fastest half. Best last 400 was 20.92. So, the course proper was even faster than the chute.

    Well, in the second race, the R65 1000, they ran the last 800 in 43 and change. That's surely a Firm 1? If not, how fast do they need to go for it to be so? That's cf. a reported Slow 5 that morning. This definitely deserves more than a slap on the hand from NZTR if they are serious about ensuring clubs meet track preparation requirements. It's a disgrace.

    Meeting Type Funding.
  4. curious
    It does not effect the stakes funding, just the supplementary meeting funding, which varies in accord with the level of meeting. Industry, feature, iconic etc. It's essentially a decent fine. They would still get there oncourse betting % as well.
  5. curious
    Clubs will also be required to meet the new Minimum Standards by Meeting Type, outlined in Appendix Five. If NZTR becomes aware that standards are not being met by clubs, future Meeting Type funding may be withheld Also, the current meeting compliance funding can be withheld.

    Agree, that's why he's won 99 G1's as I said. Not the greatest look for the social acceptability of the industry though.

    As I said, he's a serial offender Thommo. Sometinmes gets away with it, sometimes not. Here's the citation in case anyone thinks you made that up. https://www.racenet.com.au/news/opie-bosson-and-nash-rawiller-what-the-hell-were-you-thinking-20230324

    Certainly not that I could see. That's his bullying riding style. Has been for a long time and he risks it and takes the punishment. Might be part of why he has ridden 99 Group 1 winners. Take no prisoners approach.

    Another very good interview I thought with both Winifred and Jamie.

    Is that because there's less jobs available or less demand?
  12. curious
    Do you think this legislation will be in compliance with ANZCERTA?

    I asked Cameron George directly for clarification a while back and this is what he said: " Our data has total losses at $180 million offshore in the wagering (sports and race betting) only category . That number, again on our methodology) is significantly higher in the online casino category ($600m plus – again as a loss not turnover number)

    Punter losses on racing and sports betting is what was stated, so gross revenue.

    Correction. It is black type based on its previous Group standing. Auckland TR, Mufhasa Stakes, from G3 to R(L). This downgrade is more of a mechanical nature given that this race will turn into the high prizemoney slot-race, the NZB Kiwi over 1500m from 2024/25 onwards. Given the non- traditional restricted entry conditions, the NZPC was of the view that this race be accorded R(L) status

    The Pattern committee rules here say: Races for which entry is restricted to horses sold at a particular sale or sales are not eligible for group status. Furthermore, to be granted (R) Listed status, such a race must achieve a standard of quality equivalent to a group race.
  17. curious
    No idea. They really don't have any say in the matter do they?
  18. curious
    I think it's only races restricted by birth location or where sold etc. that are deemed restricted.
  19. curious
    Maybe not if current losses are really $180m p.a.
  20. curious
    Oh maybe that means the 25 years?

    How could this work? “Critically this will deliver an additional $1 billion to our stakeholders over the remaining term of our strategic partnership with Entain,” Roberts said.
  22. curious
    No. Anyone can enter can't they?
  23. curious
    Derby was below benchmark last year and if this weakens it further, its G1 status could come under threat I reckon.
  24. curious
    Restricted races races can't get group status. Listed max.
  25. curious
    They didn't? That's a requirement unless impracticable. Otherwise they should lose their meeting funding.
