    I think when you look at the money earned in Australia there's a need for somthing.........Take Ryan Moore for instance. He has amassed £45 million in prize money which is half of what New Zealand's James McDonald £90 million has in Australia and over a shorter perdiod of time.


    How they can do it is beyond me but if they don't start by increasing prize money across the boards the rest is irrelevant and things will only get worse.

    Strange how punters'minds work.
    Rather than pay a 2% levy on their bets, they'd rather have some form of Tote garner a considerably larger pound of flesh?

    Tote betting would kill ante post markets. Although with the way bookies have been strangling the prices in recent years they’ll probably end up doing that on their own.
