I wish I was

Well, got the prelude to the commission changes today.
A warm fuzzy email with "we'll let you know"

Brace for the hike :P

Yes they will be planning something for sure.

Yep also read it.

Reading between the lines the commission will increase significantly on NSW races.

Give it a week or so.

Yes

--they will increase commission and there will be a commensurate decrease in turnover --

so "NSW" will be no better off anyway.

Can they pick and choose what and where they charge commission?
Lets hope they don't increase it across the board, and only stick to NSW, as that should be easy to navigate around, but as OS has stated the decrease in turnover only hurts NSW racing.
I am still a bit confused as to where all this will lead really.

jose,

They do have the ability to pick an choose commission rates per event. Just check the rules page for each event and it says what the commission is for the event.

We can't expect them to run markets at a loss. They are a business. So the only choice they have is to charge extra commission.

Fair enough UB.
It shouldn't be too hard to combat it then.

I will take bets it is an increase in all racing markets, why just get back to where you were when you have the opportunity to increase it.

They may also add extra for the carbon tax as there is no doubt that all that horse dung is polluting the atmosphere.
