It really saddens me to see the demise of NZ racing
I have a bucket list of 15 things I want to tick off and on top of that list is an NZ racetrack crawl, not for the punting aspect more for the oasis of serenity amidst the beautiful scenery that NZ has to offer and faaaark me what do they plan on doing start closing some of the tracks down
I’m not sure what they can do, or whom can raise the titanic
Why don’t they take a leaf out of V’Landys new race the Everest slot holders had to commit to 3 years at a cost of 600k a slot (1.8 million)
NZ could try the same introduce offer 12 slots up for grabs at a cost of 333,333 (1 million) for 3 years 12 slots I’m sure the 12 slots would be picked up pronto, they would then have 12 million in the kitty self funded and could create their own race maybe call it “The Remarkable’s” or “Coronet Peak” right there you would have a race worth 4 million a year guaranteed for 3 years and imagine the publicity it would create
