Did I hear correctly that last night's show was the last?

Not sure have not watched yet?
Maybe James can comment and hopefully not

Yes that is what James said "our final show "

"final sponsored by Mauritzfontein(?)"

However we cross to France to watch horses running with arse hair stuck together with no betting with any normal bookie
WTF

They have to keep the commingling partners happy by broadcasting it despite the low wagers from South Africa. Remember they also have other overseas interests in the Isle of Man who must be taking wagers from other countries who bet into PMU. Next month PMU during their winter will start betting into our pools. Million rands and over pools are reaching per race. Imagine their commission. Don't bite the hand that feeds you!!!!

....I think that the best way to keep co-mingling partners happy is to have an effective tote system that opens in time to accommodate us betting into the pools..... :whistle:

Tabcorp in Australia which Saftote commingles our pools into is open 24/7 and includes racing throughout the world. They can take a leaf out of their book. I understand your frustration yesterday for the Singapore and Hong Kong racing. I have the same displeasure when they choose which venue in the UK or other Foreign Centres to have their exotics.

....but Naresh they so often also stiff their Ozzie connections....I dont really gripe then..... because most of the time I may be up at sparrow farts having a real early morning cup of coffee and see racing on TT from some b@mf@ck back water track that makes our hole look like Santa Anita....I open my Racenet site to take a gander at which type of poor equine specimen lands up in these largely unknown places...see a ped I think can redeem and then try have a bet just for the sake of it (and this is why they are angling for the 20hr betting window to catch the few bob from the almost compulsive).....and the race is blank and not loaded.....or Fridays when Lloyd and Fradd are on something bad and nice place value for the exercise gallop.....and no fields loaded....so its not only choice venues not being prioritized but a general lack of follow through.... imagine how many businesses go out of business when they open at times they feel like opening ... .if you want to do something that counts.... don't do it half @rse..... :unsure:
