neigh wrote: T, why are we the only two (owners) vocal about this ? I know of many that arent happy but just accept it. The end result will be that they just disappear out of racing or move to a different centre. Very short-sighted of GC, the poly should be an alternative not the alpha and omega of racing which it is now. The turf courses need to be maintained properly and raced on.......not just for show.....and the season. How does a Natal trainer prep his better horses to be competitive during the season ? or are GC happy just to hand over the purse to the raiders and collect the take-out ? Bugger their loyal owners....... :evil:
because a few owners view the punting side as messy and for the great unwashed. so they probably aren't even on this site to begin with. you guys seem to be more ethical and down to earth than most from the upper echelons of this industry, from what i've observed on my time on this site anyway.
it's people protecting their own interests above EVERYTHING (everything cloak and dagger, no transparency)and not thinking of group interests and the sustainability of the industry. that's my largely uninformed opinion anyway - I do have an owner (not shares) in the family though.
