So when they Racing on 25th December??

Saw today that there is a day and a night meeting on the 6th April (Good Friday),
Seriously?? Who comes up with the scheduling of south african racing, who bright idea is it to have a day and night meeting when most ppl go away on holiday. not to mention the fact that its a regilious holiday as well... for shame.. So i guess its just a matter of time till there is a Day Night on Christmas day..


So glad i got out of working in racing long ago..

Yay, when I was young Good Friday was the most boring day of the year .... and then when I turned 12 things improved cos I discovered girls... and they did not cloth ...errrr, I mean close on Good Friday like the Yellow Canary cafe' where my favourite pinball machine was.... and then at 13 things got much better on Good Fridays cos then I had discovered sex... and Swazi Music Radio was around ... and they did not go off the air and the girls did still not cloth ... errr, I mean close on Good Fridays.....

Oh okay, I guess you guys can figure that I am bored and the pponies at Fairview are just too clever for me !!
