Insider 3,943 Report post Posted March 29, 2020 Well the first thing NZTR could do, is announce right now that they cannot afford to sponsor the two Karaka races to the tune of 250k each. 500k will be a lot of money going forward.

Those types of decisions aren't going to be difficult to make. On the other hand someone must start coordination with clubs how assets can be used to assist the fight against the viruses. During the war years several racecourses were utilized as camps. Some could now be turned into isolation centres using caravans etc. Restaurants rather than closing used for supplying meals to these centres.

Crimson Star 2 Report post Posted March 29, 2020 Shouldn’t NZB fund the Karaka Millions? What happens to the 2ishk nom fee at time of purchase? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, at least 95% should be put up from NZB because at the end of the day they are nothing more than sweepstake races. $50,000 should be put up by NZTR because they are Listed Races and they are betting propositions. Anyone disagree? Leggy and Pam Robson 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Flash 2,132 Report post Posted March 29, 2020 Strange that he wasn't saying this when the Freedmans were dominating racing! No complaints then!
