Letter to Citizen

I am referring to a letter that appeared in The Citizen letters page
page 11

It is from some body called The Roelofsz
"MILLIONAIRS ARE ACTING LIKE BABIES"
If it wasn't so serious one could laugh about it
The letter is full of untruths and assumptions

so I was wandering if someone can somehow place the letter here
I am technologically disadvantaged otherwise I would have done it myself
I tried to get it from their site but couldn't find it

I was wondering if one of the members, who are good with words and writing can perhaps write an appropriate reply, writing is not my strong suit, as we as the racing community can't let such garbage go unanswered as non racing people will read it and believe it as the truth.

Not even sure it's worth a comment? Maybe one of the locals friends that can't get a gig these days

Just love the part that says the punters are the ones keeping the game going.
Shan Ip was diabolical as a commentator in Mauritius and well Alan Schoeman has been discussed at length on this forum.

Stan Elley brilliant alongside Nadine in PE so I have no qualms about that either.

.....this oke is obviously trapped in a time bubble in Marble Hall or has very selective memory .....the Shan Ip island commentaries and the Smiley Moosa matter were many, many moons ago.....yet the references to the father and son team are however more recent and were brought about because of Ali Cohen's sabbatical and Dumpy losing the plot on his home track and he has since been reinstated....this is what happens when the uninformed start guessing because they feel excluded and are not following the game properly..... :blush:

Thanks Bob for placing the letter

I just wonder how the Citizen that si the only paper in SA promoting racing can publish such a letter with so many wrong facts.
Does that mean that any Tom and Harry can write a letter and it will be published with out checking the facts in the letter?
The problem is people who don't know the game and are not up to date will believe the story and it will just tarnish the image of horse racing further.
I can assure you there are a perspective out there that horse racing is crooked.

....hey Blondie....dont get your nickers in a knot over this fool....he has sent many letters to various newspapers and magazines on mainly prehistoric political guff.....and his views are so far back in history...... so we must just be thankful he has not yet found the internet from his ox wagon..... :lol:
