COVID - 19 Daily Update Stats:

Read about the stats in USA. Apparently 70% of deaths are from Afro- American communities. And not only the elderly or people with underlying issues but fit individuals too.
And Afro-Americans constitute what, something like 15% of the population?:sick:

Any truth in news that the German Finance Minister Schaefer committed
suicide last week?

If not true will be one of the worst jokes we have had.

Correction...….not the Finance Minister of the country but a state Finance Minister...…………

Sorry Mike my pun was re: a german sausage "worst" rather than worst. 😢

Mike I also watched the afro/ American interview and it was put down to the social climate or less fortunate group being more vulnerable.

Address at 8pm

Lock-down extended by 2 weeks until the end of April, if i understood the message correctly

Another 14 days is a doddle 🙈

I have one bottle of brandy left, must be very valuable at the moment, could go on auction as one of the jockeys can do the delivery as they seam to have essential services permits.

Would be bearable if we could get some drinks and cigarettes to keep us sane

Won't be the end of lockdown come end of April, our shit will just begin to start then

phumelela wont survive this. unless

they need to come to all owners and ask that races be held for stakes that will only be paid over 18 instalments starting 3 months after actual race takes place.

they going to have to got to Jockeys and ask for reduction in riding fees.

they are going to have to shutter many TABS and other betting venues they control.

Even having said that field sizes will be decimated by small owners calling it quits across all jurisdiction.

small breeders gone

small yards gone

less popular jockeys gone.

And still phumelela NHRA and RA are silent. Edcon, EOH and others in a similar boat are publicly communicating with stakeholders. not Racing SA crowd
