New Market Race Course Cock up

I try to see the lite side of life as to short to go through it unhappy. But i happen to own two business properties in Alberton area where newmarket is situated. One i have had for a long time used to be my Head Office.

Never had a break in or shit ever.

Now the Track has been abandoned pretty much a squatter camp waiting to happen.

The offices have burgles twice this year and now one of the company cars stolen in front of the office broad day lite.

Property value of New Market now ZIP mine heading the same way.

Cant rent out and not worth selling.

P you guys suck and i hope you get your roasting one day.

Deserved.

PS what happen to the Trechikoff painting is it still an asset or has that also disappeared.

Shocking Shayne sure many feel the same, thought it was bought to put up a big development?

It's the perfect spot for an all-weather racing facility......yeah. I know, dream on.

The closure of Newmarket (including the 'lights' saga) must rate right up there as the biggest cock-up Phumelela ever achieved; and not a single person in the 'establishment' has come out and taken repsonsibility for it - but hey we now got lights and Turffies - I wonder how many night meetings are going to be scheduled this season and how many people will brave the dangers of Little Nigeria at night to attend?

wait the closure of clairwood will eclipse it

It would cost a bloody fortune and then you'd need to persuade one of the Operators to actually race there. It's a pipe dream, I fear.

On that same subject what happened to the fun days at Randjies??

About 2 years ago the bull dozers arrived flattened half the grand stand stripped all the fitting including rails and light polls. anything they could carry.

Then everything stopped.

The pretty signs are falling over that advertise opening 2011. I am guessing they hope the end of the world comes in 2012 so they dont have to build anything cause shit will beready by 2011.

In the mean time the local natives are slowly carrying away the precast walling. Barnie Barnard would have loved to quote to replace if he were still alive.

The underground tunnel to the old training facilities and the inside track/Driving range are now under water tunnels i guess they plan scuba diving.

When i last walked around i had to wake the security and show him fagrants sleeping in the building and stripping the old toilet fittings/pipes etc.

So would be cheaper to buy Zaki or leisher farm and make that an all weather track than this mess.
