Laughable nonsense from you @Chief Stipe plenty of tracks with holes in them , slips , rail out etc etc and youre worried about a helicopter drying a track and supposed leaders bias. 

So basically you are agreeing 100% with me.  Many of our tracks are shyte and lack consistency which turns off punters and frustrated Trainers and Owners.

To say nothing of Entain.

Yes ENTAIN seems to be pissed off with NZ tracks too.

It has always surprised me, as it is Entain's money on the line, that they have not had a lot more 'insistence' about where money should be spent.

Or have they?

Isn't that your criticism of the "boring Ruakaka track"?

No way it played that bad

Well they've certainly laid it on the line now that if NZTR don't pull finger and get tracks and field sizes sorted, we won't make sustainable code payments at current levels at the end of the 5 year deal. 

That said, Entain don't need the racing codes to have a viable NZ business. As Vouris kept saying, our core business is selling bets. Plenty of other things to sell those on.

I wouldn't give much credence to BS's assessment of that either.

Well @Huey I'm sure there is a Club out there that needs your executive experience and insight.  Kumara needs you.
