The bit about if Holy wood stops funding refers....
Granted but does Holy Wood fund the Turnover Pools?
Not a single mention about the loyal client base, the Punter, the Patron, the Customer who ensures there is a Gross Pool to make the Turnover and ensure the 25% take out every single meeting.
Why not sell the pictures Overseas and let the Commingling partners make up the Pools.
The Racing public will take to other forms of wagering of which there are a few alternatives that are available.
Sports Betting, Lucky Numbers, Lotto, Virtual Racing, Greyhound Racing etc etc etc.
Sales of horses resulted in no local racing for a few days in March.
Sales of horses will also result in the loss of a few meetings in April also.
Jockeys lose money when they are given " Short time".
Rather cut your losses for the one meeting the strike affected and focus on ironing out the issues.
This can cause more Jockeys to look elsewhere for employment opportunities and result in a loss of enthusiasm amongst the youngsters who are thinking of becoming future Jockeys.
