The prizemoney at both Gloucester Park & Melton was about $50k more than Menangle on the weekend for what that's worth.
To be fair Pat, Melton was only $40k more thanks to 2 extra races and 3 Gp3 races compared to Menangle's 1 Gp3
(GP had an extra race too)

Spot on Kev, but never be fair to a cockroach. I was only supplying some basic info to work with. I am sure Menangle prizemoney has dropped off as compared to say 6 months ago as per Trish's calculations. I am talking the average race meeting not meetings stacked with Group races etc. I recall reading an article not that long ago that said they were flying in NSW in regards to their investment.
NSW have released Race Programming and Handicapping Guidelines which will provide increased transparency for stakeholders
