Twilight funding and Reefton

[curious]

Do you think this announcement might have slightly upset @Reefton?

Meeting News
Waverley 28 January Stakes to $25,000

The Waverley twilight meeting on Wednesday 28 January will run for stakes of $25,000 for all eight races. This brings it in line with all twilight Wednesdays from mid-January through to the end of March.

So the ONLY Wednesday meeting this year that didn't get twilight funding was ???

And to make matters worse, Reefton on a weekday with industry funding did oncourse turnover of $132k.

The following Sunday, ATR (feature meeting at Ellerslie qith 460k stakes) just managed 100k.

The wording is beautiful, isn't it.  From mid-January ...

How is the disparity between stake money and on-course turnovers for the two clubs explained away?

any idea of the entrance  money and the catering profits?

Well done reefton, good turnover for very small fields and a week day,any idea of off course turnover, may have been a 5$ entry, time to spread those stakes around a bit more, I'm sure some smaller clubs with better turnover be grateful.

I'm not sure what your point is.  You aren't exactly comparing apples with apples. For a start:

Kumara had 9 races.

Ellerslie had 8 races.

My point was about Reefton.

Turnover per race was 311k Ellerslie (stakes 460k)

280k Kumara (stakes 240k)
