What will happen if........

Markus Jooste , Chris van Niekerk, Marsh Shirtlif, Bryn Ressel, Bernard Kantor,
Mary Slack , Sheik Mo, Sabine Plattner , Dr Jacobs (best coffee) etc.....


Leave sa racing ? Who is waiting in the wings to keep the big trainers and
Breeders happy?

Sorry forgot to mention the tekkie town man, braam and mike azzies
Big spender and woodruffs mr khan

My man Oscar will run a monopoly!

Hurwitz, Gallo, Ellis, Podlas, and sadly now Oppenheimer are just some of the many names that have come and gone but racing will always survive.

The same thing that would happen if Sheik Mohammed left the UK or Coolmore Ireland

Breeders will have to race their own stock........................will be good for racing as it will be interesting to see the performance of their offsprings against rival studs opponents without the price tags attached.

Of course the breeders will be expected to lease out many of the animals and trainers could very well benefit from this,no impatient owners to keep happy & all stakes and betting coups come to the yard.

The great Sea Cottage was a lease horse from Birch Bros. & Syd Laird had much success with leased horses.

The other thing you could have asked would be what would happen if gambling was ever banned?

There, ll be alot more happy wives lol

Maybe then Racing would get its magic back and that the dreams of the small Trainer and Owner can occasionally be realised.

A horse doesnt know its price when sold,you have to buy the individual.....enough horses sold for every buyer to get one.Dont have to buy million rand horses to win races....if u want de kock to train u go there,if u want a small trainer with a yard of 10 u go there.What i do know with the big names out the game the overall industry would be in a big pile of crap.

for me with 40 year of be in the game i can say their is all ways the dominant owners. what is diferent now is dominant owner is dominant in raceing breeding and politics influence. if marcus jooste leave the game i give you the garentee the sun come up to morrow their is no one bigger than the game
