Difficult to read , but it looks like Thoroughbred racing is down on LY ?

That being the case how could that be with Geoblocking ?

thanks for that! @curious
Some interesting stuff re things 'digital' in that!  ...still not enough for me to be stopping my plans around 'uncoupling from things racing',..  currently thinking of building a kitty and having a serious go at the punt on Champions Day,.. then punting side can head off into the sunset..   re photo stuff, still working on exit strategy, slowly getting it together!  still ponder options Racing Horse Book Collection!

Sports betting is flying, I presume most of the new customers are sports bettors

Look forward to this

In addition to transforming live race coverage, the new GPS-RTK system will deliver comprehensive post-race sectional and timing data, offering racing lovers unprecedented insight into race performance. This will soon be available through trackside.co.nz and other platforms as a powerful tool for form analysis and to enhance the overall racing experience.
 

 

Stay tuned over the summer months for the debut of Upon The Land We Stand, hosted by Kylie Bax. Kylie is travelling the length of New Zealand to uncover the stories, spirit, and people that make our racing community so special

Someone was complaining elsewhere about Michael Guerin interviewing Zac Purton and its relevance to NZ racing, and that they should be grassroot NZ racing people.  Well, there is your answer

@curious where did you derive the $13m in POCC lost income from?

Oops. That's a typo. Good catch. I have ~$4m.

Which is what was in the DIA options report.

Yes. The 13m was the estimate for the 4 year life of the POCCs.

It does raise the question (again) though. If that was the POCC takings based on 10% of racing and sports overseas spend, indicating maybe a $40m total spend, how on earth did they arrive at $200m when promoting the monopoly legislation.

Earlier this year, perhaps a year or so ago,  Chief Stipe and I were, in a non combative way, 'chewing the fat' as to why on earth would Entain have bothered to get involved with such a small market, small by international standards. My recollection was that we both agreed we (NZ) were being used as a test site and that the ultimate goal was sports betting, not horse racing.

NZ racing has three years to get its act together which based on all the lack of direction the industry is currently experiencing from its so called 'leaders' leaves me to say, optimistically, please make the most of the next 3 years...Enjoy.
