Chief Stipe Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 If I'm reading the proposed changes correctly the racing industry ends up with yet another Board. RITA will be split into two organisations - Racing NZ and TAB NZ. Each will have a Board. Plus NZTR, HRNZ, GRNZ, RIU. Things just go from bad to worse..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Racing New Zealand could be a beast. It was originally legislated to be a "maybe" but in the dark hours between the 2nd and 3rd reading it became a must. "..establish Racing New Zealand as a consultative forum for the 3 racing codes;" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Interesting the new process of determining the distribution of TAB NZ profits. 1. A commercial agreement between TAB NZ and each code or all codes; 2. Or decided by Racing New Zealand; or if no agreement (the odds seems stacked against Harness and Dogs) - 3. Decided by the Minister! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Don't worry. Dr David Clark has now got some spare time. Perhaps he could help move things along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
