[racinggreys]

I wonder just how many of our greyhound people/clubs , or even grnz are putting in a submission to the bill. NZTR are making it known to its people, are grnz?

It closes in a few days !

If past history is any guide, I would think not.

The racing bodies and clubs are yet to join the dots between punters equating to income, so the fact that small things like the changing of the constitution within the TAB to favor sports betting over racing is of little concern.

Sports are simply far more lucrative long term and more acceptable in today's society than racing is so its fully understandable as to why they are putting an emphasis on sports betting over racing

That maybe so, but I would expect those that represent racing, ie Clubs, NZGRA, NZTB, HRNZ, to be making submissions trying to get as much for racing as possible. Not sitting on their asses letting it all happen as seems to be happening.

So here is a copy of the select committee presentation by the three codes and RITA. Interesting to note who is not there.
