A total of 34 staff members are employed by the RIU in offices in Auckland (head office) and Christchurch, as well as regionally throughout New Zealand. In addition, the RIU also employs approximately 85 casual swabbing officials and race day typists. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never been more shocked or surprised that you SD unaware of these numbers which are highly visible on RIU website. Around 2010 research showed that lack or trust or integrity was a HUGE handbrake or negative in New Zealand racing. Integrity became a top priority...... ....ie policing the Industry. Hence it has grown into what it is today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big in US the racinos , kept racing going a bit there .To me if you need people plugged into a pokie machine to sustain animals running around a track it kind of gives the impression racing is nearer the end than beginning in society sadly in those countries .

Unfortunately Baz, called into a Chartered Club in Mt Maunganui about 20 years ago with my Dad, pretty quiet , Manager said without pokies they would be bust. Involved in a Tavern 7 or 8 years ago , sadly without the cut from the 12 gaming machines , doors would have been closed a long time ago. I used to empty the money out of the machines and shake my head , all of this money used to go to Racing , these people would never entertain the thought of betting with the TAB .

Huey 2,037 Report post Posted April 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Ohokaman said: Plenty have them Huey...Auckland TC have had them for years. and there is a reason for that, they are open 7 days a week, location perfect etc. how many other racing clubs could you involve. You need scale for these things to work and you also need plenty of other things to get punters in the door to use them.
