Propose Combine Would Cut Racing and Hurt Prize Money
The analysis rejects claims that the proposed race club combine would boost prize money or state revenue. It calculates losses from reduced racing days at Moorefield Warwick Park and Randwick, showing a net annual prize-money drop around £30,000 and questioning projected gains in state turnover from Victoria Park meetings. It contrasts total winnings with current outputs at Moorefield and Warwick and highlights a substantial overall financial shortfall asserted by opponents.

State View of Victoria Park Racing Revenue Impact
The article argues that increased betting tickets and maker fees during 14 Victoria Park race days would not offset losses from 116 meetings. It contends state profits rely on train and tram patronage for racegoers and questions patching up racing as a means to boost state revenue. It labels the proposed plan as bold yet unlikely to aid thousands who depend on racing for livelihoods.
