Most of what Craig Foss has stated is blah, blah, blah. Nothing that we haven't heard from previous racing ministers over many years. The exception being Winston Peters.
The most relevent and perhaps the most interesting comment was: "A reputable racing statutory body operating gaming machines on racing premises for racing purposes could potentially address the public concern surrounding pub and club gaming machine profits funding racing stakes"
Maybe, just maybe, the new minister IS listening to Harness Racing. But no one should be holding their breath.......................
