I experienced a similar issue at Turffontein recently. I was with my family (6 in total) and elected to go to the Elevation Room for the day. The cost was relayed to me as R350 per person excluding drinks. We entered and were seated and was then notified that my son could not be accepted as he had shorts on. What a load of crap. We left....with our cash to spend elsewhere. Absolutely great for business.

.....sorry but I have no praise for any facet of 4Q racing.....as they have so far failed in every department and are driving our racing off of a cliff....

.....the sooner MOD pull the plug on them and look for a much more capable arrangement to turn racing around... and the sooner the better.....:ohmy:

4Racing reorganises its business operations as it looks to the future

After completing its first financial year as horseracing operator, 4Racing has reviewed its operations and reorganised its business divisions to allow for a leaner, more performance-driven business.

Effective as of 1 March 2023, the company will be rearranged into the following three distinct business divisions:

- Racing Operations (to manage the racing business)
- Betting (which will include all revenues and costs relating to betting products, including retail)
- Content (which includes content, broadcast and rights distribution).

“As we have reached the end of the financial year (February 2023) and reflect on the past year’s considerable and insightful learnings, it is evident that 4Racing is ready for a new lease on life regarding how it operates from a revenue generation and expense management perspective. We are under no illusions about how difficult the horseracing and tote industry continues to be, which makes managing every cent and finding new business models crucial, as we look to support the sustainability and growth of the industry,” said 4Racing Chief Executive Officer, Fundi Sithebe, about the need to reorganise the business.

Sithebe said the process will realign certain job functions and business units, so as to improve operational efficiencies and lay strong operational foundations to provide a platform for sustained success.

“As we have said from the outset we want to ensure our 4Racing culture is accountable and transparent, hence we are also communicating these operational changes to the broader horseracing industry that 4Racing serves. We believe 4Racing is well positioned for success, and we need to ensure that our business is at the heart of everything we do, with a strong focus on execution and performance. We believe these changes will incentivise revenue growth and help us better manage and allocate costs, as we look to provide the platform for future growth,” added Sithebe.

.....who is responsible for the tote betting and the recent cock ups especially with labeling yesterdays Meydan Super Saturday meeting as the SAUDI CUP....as this is the worst f@ck @p I have ever seen with this lot ....and whoeva is responsible for this should be booted with immediate effect.....this sort of complacency is now endemic to 4Q racing and is putting the brakes on any chance of a recovery ...as it displays a total lack of any urgency to turn the most valuable of their income earner into a viable and profitable entity....:ohmy: .
