I frankly have no idea. It should/could have come from the money that has been wasted on stakes the last two decades or so, especially since the Entain windfall. Where from now? What ideas do you have? I doubt the long-suffering taxpayer will want to chip in any more.

the fine was related to his use of the whip. so had nothing to do with whether he was clever or not tactically. Also,i just had a look at his drive the level of the fine and the suspension  borders on the ridiculous to me. I think the same about the L mccarthy drive in the cup as well.. Again,just so over the top for what they actually did.

Well you aren't exactly full of great ideas are you? You can throw brickbats all you want but I cut you some slack in that you obviously don't know how difficult it is to get these tracks renovated correctly.  Australia have had their problems as well.  Without exception the worst failures are with those tracks that have been left far too long to renovate and trying to get it done while only missing one spring/summer season of racing.  

@Huey I was just checking tickets for Waikato Cup Day - you can still get The Grand Tour tickets only $30 and good music.   Unfortunately every other are is sold out and I gather that The Grand Tour will be sold out within a week.   In the memory of @TAB For Ever "it's all happening!"  

On what basis?  Of course RACE is to blame for your home track Trentham's demise....NOT!
