Did the CEO walk before he was asked to leave? 

This must been seen as to how bad a situation, financially , the club are in

Robert Dunn joins the Board - does he not have a history of bad betting debts and owing 100's of thousands of dollars when he run a TAB outlet , as well as many positive swabs.

Jamie McKinnon races his horses out of the Dunn Barn and races them in the South Island,  and very close friends with Dunn

The ATC are doomed

The latest is that some senior management and directors have given themselves large bonuses/consultancy fees since the end of their last financial year?  How could this be true when they've just admitted to an ever increasing $100 million debt !

You like to think that could not possibly be true.

If it is true, I hope we see the end of the ATC as quickly as possible.

Shock reshuffle at helm of Auckland Trotting Club

https://harnesslink.com/new-zealand/shock-reshuffle-at-helm-of-auckland-trotting-club/

 

Maybe they need to bring back Robert Death if he's still around and not otherwise too busy

You are kidding Meomy, you have never worked with him obviously.

Or recall the reason why he left the ATC either……🙄

With a half hour or so till the first of the late quaddie a pool of less than $2500, despite being a big meeting seems no promotion from the TAB at all, is it a saturday night thing, too many short priced favourites or just dont give a shit?

I can't get over the poor numbers.. not good at all, $75,000 3yo trot with 3 runners 😂

Interesting the poor fields the 3yo sales trots have had in recent years. One has to go back to 2014 to get into double figures. I suspect having to front up with the full entry fee a couple of weeks after the sales eliminates quite a few from the Harness Millions, especially if the buyer was looking for a ~$10k yearling

Not sure on that, but the other fields were light also

How do you suggest the TAB promotes a night of $1.10 favs? Especially when some get beaten.

Probably by at least doing something, better than doing NOTHING, surely could have thought of some other betting options etc, otherwise what's the point ? .. agree to some extent though as the tiny fields would have turned so many off. I nearly forgot they were on, that's how well promoted it was. It is glaringly obvious that the racing industry is up against it, but never see anyone involved in the industry stand up and take it by the scruff of the neck, all these reports and investigations are B.S, and our government and previous govts dont give a rat's arse.

Just thinking - wonder what the result would have been if TAB bookies had not set fixed odds prices on the meeting.    Tote divvy usually not much different from their quotes so perhaps they are a dominant factor.       And of course if there is a big bet on a horse their quote is very quickly adjusted accordingly!

Simple fact is harness racing in NZ is dead in the water as far as Saturday nights go, rugby and league on tv takes precedence, Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays  and Saturday and Friday afternoons seems to be about it, that meeting at Auckland was on trackside 2 so pushed aside for the Aussie gallops, it has its time but Saturday night no longer.

Dont see what channel it was on had much to do with it - same result regardless.     Not being a frequent watcher of trackside (rater be on course and get the live atmosphere) surely you turn it on and there is the meeting for the night!

There was no rugby OR league on the night of the meeting in discussion though.

Anything else we need to know ?

Another week looms at Auckland with small fields and no doubt microscopic divvies.     Most of those that start will be fodder (as usual) for All Stars.

 

Too many feature races on the one night damaging to the tote.     Auckland need to either prune their number of big races they run or spread them more evenly over the season.
