slam dunk 1,317 Report post Posted June 6, 2018 At the end of 2014 NZLIVE LTD came into being owned by Roger Randle, Tony Parton & Ray Standidge to live broadcast Trackside TV from flash new offices in Parnell. Just where the cutoff between NZlive and Trackside seems a bit murky based on available information. Anyway the Racing Board provided about a $10 million funding facility during the Chris Bayliss regime. I queried this here on racecafe and specifically warned that this was an absurd deal as the Racing Board was taking all the risk whilst in a few years Parton, Randle etc would sell out and make millions. Well thats exactly whats happened. NZ Live have sold out to NEP Group who have no real presence in the racing industry in Australia. So the question is why didn't the NZ Racing Board invest in NZ Live like they did in Radio Pacific which reaped the Racing Board some $25 million almost 20 years ago. Few businesses in NZ make a fortune from trading, they make windfalls from deals. Expecting the racing industry to rely on betting revenue is optimistic. Its deals like the Radio Pacific deal that will make racing viable. So could someone answer. How much did Randle and Parton make?
