IT HAS been good news for the Victorian racing industry this week, with Racing Victoria Ltd striking a five-year distribution deal with Tabcorp and ThoroughVision, known as TVN, to distribute $20 million in rights fees to shareholders. The RVL deal, which involves thoroughbred racing, harness racing and the greyhounds, is groundbreaking because the three codes had had their TAB distribution eroded by rights costs and vision fees.
