Strategy Analysis: TAH´s key strategic initiative in the next year will be directing capital and resources to maintaining the strong off-course and online retail wagering distribution network in Victoria and NSW. Further research, development and roll-out of the self service technology and application software will be implemented, which will assist in lowering operating costs. The company will also continue establishing the Tabcorp Gaming Solutions and Luxbet businesses.
