can anyone answer this ?

[sickofit 1]

did racing use to own the tab?

if so when did they lose control of it??

looking thru incorp soc annual reports

for wanganui & manawatu dogs tab cost leaped from 208k in 2007 to 610k 2008

for wanganui

115k in 2007 to 473k 2008 for manawatu

these cost are for oncourse services which i led to believe is the trackside coverage.

in my line of business if i put my prices up

by 300% my customers would tell me to get f--ked

can anyone answer these point

cheers

for your interest

2007 racing season wanganui 83 days

2008 racing season wanganui 87 day

and wellingtons ?????

Wanganui went from 40 something (high 40's) to 80 something when Wellington's 30 odd dates were transferred there.

te 80 odd race meeting include the wellington meetings the club still holds that where run at hatrick

some wellington meetings where held at solway over this period

but the question remains why the huge jump in costs . there is no alternative

what happens if these cost keep rising could or can clubs sustain them
