lol

madji if the polytrack is up then two surfaces to chose from i would say just after that and another big cost is gone? why these be any diferent to what phumelela do before is good business no? hilton i agree with what you say so phumelela give half stake or kimberley stake races on polly and vaal sand on the monday meeting and there we go

Harry owners are toiling to get runs in every region, we need more tracks and races fir them to run in

hibs i agree but i ask again why will phumelela adjust the winning BUSINESS strategy? they have poly then they save millions closing facility and keep same numbers of races as before. these is reason the other tracks are sold so why be diferent now

yes by staging races for all horses even with lower stakes it keeps more owners in the game and they will keep going back to sales to buy horses ..the thrill of winning to the owner is just the same of winning a mr 60 or a mr 90 but if there horses cant compete then they become disillusioned and pack up owning...owning horses isnt just about raceday its also about going to the yard going to trackwork and also from a social aspect meeting people from different walks of life where in any normal situation you wouldnt

you only have to study the australian way of racing to see how it should be done where all horses are catered whether they are a superstar or a camel...

pirates the question i have and i dont now answer is are their more owner of kimberley horse in pwv or in kimberley?

Blue Mondays..............................., I'd rather have the Harness thank u.

Flash, let me phrase that differently.... when will the polytrack be ready for racing on ?????

The answer to this issue will depend on economic viability.................in the end it always does!

I agree with Pirates' posts above. My first winner was at Bloemfontein with Anton Marcus up. The prize money for 1st was R14 000. But it wasn't for the money. It is about the leading in the winner and the photo against the wall.
If we had to close the minor tracks, only Mr. Jooste et al, will be racing. Many people would lose interest and leave the game.
