Selfish cunts,will stuff a whole bread up their arses and won't give a slice to the starving
Fuck them all,they'll die chocking in their vomit

A big thank you to all the trainers,owners jockeys and everyone else for seeing the light,
You are the real hero's of racing

The owners own the horse and the information its as simple as that.

Exactly

They are privileged

Least soccer pools are booming

I have found over the years that the "inside" info has been wrong a lot more than its been right. I find my fancies in the form book and have only myself to blame. To many good things are anything but!

Very narrow view, all actions have consequences. Owners not thinking about long term sustainability but then again no one ever gives a continental about what happens in 20 years due to bad decisions now. Live in the present :whistle:

I am not an owner, can not afford it and even if I could would rather spend my money else where. To me it is simple. Owners can choose to divulge info if they want or they can keep stum. I have on more than one occasion seen owners get berated when their good thing gets beat. In every race there are more than one set of owners that have been told they will be winning the race.

I also think when trainers dont give info they use the owners as the excuse. Imagine having a hundred calls from people who contribute nothing to his stable every raceday.

Unless there is a huge rise in transparency the game will continue to die, it is as simple as that. Regular punters will continue to drift away and new blood will simply not be interested. There is no reason why there should not be total transparency... and for the 100th time, transparency is not about saying a horse will win or not.

The powers that be MUST start forcing the issue. It is suicide otherwise.

With so little racing in Bingo of late, transparency is absolutely crucial to punting, how else are punters expected to know the condition and fitness of the horses etc? As there is no transparency, I won't be having a bet today. And that is just an example of what I am talking about in my previous post. Fark em as others have said.

I agree Engels

They forget that in the other Major racing countries the tracks raise their own revenue

Musselburgh , don't get me wrong they get help with prizemoney , but they top it up theirselves .Imagine having to rely on the public to just go and spend R500 on entry and food and drink in SAF every meeting like happens in other countries

I think it's quite clear to see at the lack of movements in the bookies odds that not a lot of people are punting at this track compared with other courses. It's one of those courses where I listen to some of the guys on here and would rather be at the casino than bet on these races. Red or Black? :lol:
