mikeynz Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Ok now the gallops are paying stakes just for turning up,it might be a couple of hundy for the also rans so what happens if they don't get a full field,does the money go to the rest or goes elsewhere.

Huey Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Don't they get put back into the winners distribution? The best thing they are currently doing at NZTR is paying out to 14th, probably the reason the field sizes have remained strong in volume. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a completely positive move and undermined it by taking it out of the winners prize , brain dead decision . Suppose it was too much to expect them to get something completely right .

Add to the stake or just have a pool for paying starters , it's robbing Peter to pay Paul FFS . We are supposed to be incentivizing people to keep racing horses , and the positive was paying a starters incentive , OH but we are going to pay you less for winning . If ever we needed proof of how empty our coffers are this is it . While the starters payment is something i have wanted for years , there is no point doing it if you can't afford it , better off staying with status quo . Maybe if they had taken 10% off the top end races we would have had a pool to help make these payments to some of the battlers that are looking for a reason to stay in the game . But no , they start making starters payments but basically say it has to fund itself . Pointless exercise . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
