NSW racing in the spotlight, ATC $2.6m hit and calls for reform, plus Entain's $60m cut and Shane Dye buying horses
Welcome to this week's edition of Straight Talk with Bren O'Brien and Tim Rowe from The Straight, brought to you by our sponsors Inglis & Darley.
This episode covers unfolding turmoil in New South Wales racing, including the ATC’s $2.59 million deficit, its upcoming show cause talks with Racing NSW, the new reform group calling for governance change, and scrutiny on Peter V'landys.
We also run through state updates from WA, Tasmania and Victoria, major wagering developments — Entain's job cuts, PointsBet’s social-betting push, and a study estimating $135 million lost by the racing industry to illegal offshore betting — and end with breeding and bloodstock news featuring Shane Dye, Inglis and NZB catalogues, plus a tribute to John Jeffs.
