Muhti,unless they cock-up badly , there is no reason why converting the inside track to Poly should have the Greyville effect ....Greyville ended up with 2 "half" tracks!
Turf has 2 full tracks.
Where else would you suggest they install "all weather" racing , bearing in mind it's needed during summer night racing,or don't you think it's required at all?
Mini is suggesting what I did ages ago .......you don't need facilities that nobody uses!!-but Turfontein already exists as an asset, so unless sold for huge profit and replaced elsewhere (with limited facilities ) they must use it optimally!
