Close the best track in the country? Would kill my interest instantly

Ziets i have competed but is it not pie in the sky

We have all witnessed the closure of tracks over the years and the ante racing vs casino etc

Also have all the overseas coverage from various tracks

My vote would be for a greyhound track in the middle of a casino area then it could work

Less space, run on time, any weather conditions, no jocks or big overheads, low cost for new owners to get interest

If we need something else? We should all go to the DOGS

We are struggling to get people from major centers to go to the track, so NW might be pushing it a bit :unsure:

I think the lack of people filling in the questionnaire is proof enough not to consider building any racecourse there

The negative will always look for something to be negative about.
That's life , but learned to just ignore them if you have a positive outlook in life and what makes you get out of bed every day.

If you want to change something , then my friend , pull your finger out your butt and make yourself count. Nobody is too big to talk to , nobody will just ignore you if you do it with a positive attitude and with the right intentions.

Went to the Vaal today and got about 80 surveys filled in by trainers , owners , punters and grooms , handlers , production team ..... All positive!!!!! Awesome.

Free State races track in Bloemfontein was closed, perhaps they can rebuild the race course in Bloemfontein.
