There is just something unexplainable about horse racing..............
Sports betting does nothing for me....... been there done that.........
Horse racing on the other hand is in my blood.
Unfortunately we do not have a racing culture in South Africa (anymore).
Where did we go wrong?
When I see the packed crowd at Champ de Mars in Mauritius weekend after weekend with the “rejected” RSA geldings and the racing fans jumping up and down with the horses passing the winning post, then I ask the question again:
What went wrong in RSA?
......failure to promote inclusiveness to the life blood of the industry .....the punters.....left them with a piss poor infrastructure in badly managed on and off course facilities and treated them with distaste..... all the better betting facilities in the JHB area have booted out the operator and are raking in on the open bet only because they offer a superior service to that a non service orientated (dis)organisation....they are only now trying to up their game but it is 2 decades too late...:oops:
