curious Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Oh dear. Just watched this. Does anyone else get the impression that the key thrust of NZTR policy is to continue to sit on their hands while they wait for the magical 3 pillars/levers/revenue streams (2 of which appear to be grossly over-estimated) to fall into place?

Hesi Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Yes, but isn't that the inherent flaw in the whole system. NZRB/TAB/RITA whatever, have accountability for generating the money. NZTR just sit back and wait for whatever it might be each year. They then put 90% of it into stakes and use the other 10% to run thoroughbred racing. The only thing they can do, is to use the money better, but they are pretty limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 They are limited alright! But not in the way I think you mean. Completely hopeless would be a better description. I think Saundry's best hopes were another $8-9m by 2021? That's if the TAB performance doesn't deteriorate in the meantime which again the strategy seems to be to sit and hope for. This was repeated several times. So, maybe a 10% increase in stakes in the next couple of years and 2 or 3 mil for other expenses. Sounds promising.
