But it's ok to say "Hooray" to 100s of people (even fellow clansman) facing the prospect of financial ruin???

That post was either not well thought through, or indicative of something much much worse...

A friend of yours or somebody too important not to have a go at even though taking pleasure in seeing the demise of a community.

You have lost me ?

Mac I am in sure ziets will assist us. When we go. Fuck the rest

I agree with Bob, keep it civil.

I understand that this is a huge emotional issue for many and I have voiced my opinion on the subject.

I am not sure who "Debi" is and bob probably does.

I certainly know who " Debbie" is and we have been friends for many years and she will always been a loss to SA racing.

Good Punting

I have on many occasions listed why I dislike Flamingo, my views remain. It has nothing to do with individuals, its all about abuses of horses, of which Flamingo is the undisputed champion in this regard. Flamingo is not unique in its closure. Where was the outcry when Bloem closed, and other tracks where individuals were massively affected? Of course I have sympathy for people that will now be unemployed, I am not a monster. I will never however waiver in my belief that in terms of horse welfare, this is something that should have happened a long time ago.

Maybe ABC should ask this guy what this means. Sounds like a death threat to me.

I’m sure Ziets was just meaning the hard work goes on for the Kimberley contingent

Blood, sweat and tears is a very famous saying

My interpretation is that they are not going down without a fight and may have a few action plans up their sleeves ?
Interesting next few months ahead.

Bob, Dave, you need to address this, it's not "water under the bridge".

He posts under his own name why is it now a death threat ... Kimberley racing community will not go down without a fight as so much is at stake with this decision.

I believe my interpretation is correct
