Indeed, perhaps getting rid of would have been more appropriate than selling.

Horses for courses...some horses love the tight Durbanville track.The actual track is in very good condition.Draws a problem.Anything in double figures and you literally have no chance.Trainers mindsets needs to change....P don't want races with 7 or 8 runners but you draw eider than 10 u are stuffed anyway...

South African racetracks need to run theirselves like they do in the UK and other parts of the world , if the oversees tracks relied on the punter losing as much as South African tracks do then they would be in big soapy bubble .

Maybe it's time to only race 4 times a week and put a bigger show on ?

Why put a pollytrack in cape town, trainers don't support racing in winter in CT, look at this year small fields, no meetings, cape trainers don't complain, its a normal thing in winter all the years. So why waist money. Someone must be on the take again,a nice back hander to a couple of the boys.
