Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

To clear up one issue, when I spoke about the strategic plan, that was in relation to RCE and was for greyhounds. It was not for horses. I do not know the process for determining prize money. Obviously, there are flagship races around the country that need high levels of prize money to attract runners who will attract media attention, crowds etc. However, I am not sure of the process to determine what each tracks gets. I imagine it would have to do with the quality of races etc. It is a legitimate question. The HRI has offered to publish more information on the distribution of prize money in its annual report in the future. At least there will be transparency around the distribution. Then, that might provoke another discussion. There may be tracks that still feel they are being disadvantaged. However, at least it will be transparent.
