Just wanted to throw an idea out there –

I currently don't bet on most NSW country meetings (Tatts race code 'CR') as, along with South Australia & some Queensland 'QR' meetings, I have never been able to generate positive returns out of any of the systems/methods I run which I have always put down to the lower class of these meetings - the saying 'pay peanuts, get monkeys' is how I look at it.

Now from July prizemoney increases for all NSW racing comes into effect & there has been plenty of talk around the traps that owners & trainers from other areas will look to take advantage & send their better horses to some of these NSW meetings.

So I am hypothesising that –

a) along with ‘NR’ meetings, we will see a spike in the quality of many 'CR' meetings &

b) a corresponding decrease in the quality of southern Queensland provincial/country meetings.


I am unsure of the effect on some Victorian meetings as I haven’t heard of any plans to increase prizemoney there yet, & until both QLD & VIC do so I suspect that results in these states might get a bit ‘wobbly’ for a while.

What I am hoping is that these 'CR' meetings will become viable prospect for my approaches & as such will be keeping a close watch on these meetings for the next 6 months or so, as well as closely monitoring results from the VIC & QLD meetings I currently bet on.

Thought?

Queensland cash in on NSW’s High Court win

Racing Queensland has announced their Race Information Fees for the 2012-13 racing season which will see most bookmakers paying a premium for turnover on the Queensland winter carnival next year.



Racing Queensland is also giving wagering operators the option to elect a gross revenue model.

If they are to take up that option they will pay 20 percent of their gross revenue. If a bookmaker takes up that option it would be a requirement that the fee payable is greater than the "Race Information Fees” paid, or would have been paid, in the previous financial year under the Net Assessable Turnover model

Cheers.
