Well said Derek Brugman

Cape Town racing is shambolic. Maketing is non existant, but Stan Elley says we will enjoy the day anyway. I drove past Kenilworth racecourse on Thursday and they still have a huge advertising board highlighting the 2011 J&B Met 'larger than Life". Now with the 2012 version only 2 months away I was gobsmacked by the inefficiency of Gold Circle Western Cape.

True some cracking racing today not sure how many people at track?

i think mr brugmans comments are quite ironic considering he works for the biggest owner of horses in the country has won the award for owner of the year several times BUT NEVER SEEMS TO GET TO THE COURSE TO SEE HIS HORSES RUN EVEN IN BIG FEATURE racemeetings ...im sure the response will be he is a very busy man

Exactly, It annoys me when I have an opinion and somebody tells me shut up!

Harris - I interpreted the outburst very differently. Your main marketing source for any event is Tellytrack. There was very little on Cape Racing leading up to Sunday on T Track. He was having a full go at Tellytrack IMO.

Mr Brugmann, being from JHB (I think) should know that JHB is the centre of the racing universe. I fully support his views but I am not sure that he would have had such an outburst had he not been working as stable rep for Mr Jooste in the Cape. In other words, had he been interviewed at Turfontein on Summer Cup day, I do not believe that he would have had a go. Maybe I am wrong.

Whilst I applaud the efforts going into JHB racing, it will be at the cost of another centre inevitably.

flash read the previous posts and listen to what mr brugman said before making comments ...i have zero interest in what any owner does regarding their horses ..money certainly doesnt entitle you to respect you have to earn it not pay for it

Pirates - sorry i lost you? why must Mr Jooste go to the course. huh he is out the country most of the time and it is irrelevant to the marketing of the sport if he is on course or not. Are 30000 people going to go because he has gone to his box at Kenilworth? i dont think so. Derek was correctly referring to marketing . What part of that is confusing or am i missing something?

Stan always brushes people off that have a go at the establishment, i remember him doing it to H Adams not so long ago.

Iam not sure where to find the details but surely Jooste must me one of the biggest owners in the world.
