PE twice a week

The bosses of Pe racing should consider racing twice a week .The polytrack is a huge positive and would cater for the vast overpopulation of horses based at this centre !

Great idea

Night racing like Wolverhampton in the UK ... Sorry Dorrie

It should be a MUST....PE will become the heaven of SA Racing

I doubt if Phumelela would have enough cash to pay stakes for so many extra meetings

The secret would be to follow Louis suggestion and grass the Sand course and make Turfs Inner a poly - That Vaal Sand is more like a Sand Dune at the Beach

Isn't the vaal leased??

Nobody seems to be able (or willing?) to answer the question about the future of the Vaal racecourse.

But if the Vaal is available for hosting meetings into the 'foreseeable future' , I would certainly NOT abandon the sand, especially not in favor of an additional meeting in PE - could be seen as a bit of a selfish attitude as I very seldom take any bet in PE - but one should also take into account all the horses in Gauteng that would not be earning any cheques for their owners were the sand just 'covered by grass'. I do however agree that IF a Polytrack were being considered for Gauteng (another issue that has gone very quiet), the Inner Turffontein track would be the ideal - seeing that we no longer have Gosforth Park

If the money is available, I would second the idea of the PE Poly hosting night meetings (but of course they would need lights :)

Once a week = One time too many
