Flamingo Park races on

PHUMELELA MEDIA RELEASE
SUBJECT: Flamingo Park may not close as planned
DATE: Tuesday 17 September 2019
RELEASED BY: Phumelela Gaming


Phumelela Gaming and Leisure is delighted to announce that it is in negotiation with Gold Circle and other interested stakeholders to extend racing at Flamingo Park Racecourse in Kimberley beyond December this year.
Phumelela announced recently that it intended to cease holding race meetings at Flamingo Park after the 9 December fixture there, but potentially viable options to continue racing at the venue have surfaced since then.
Phumelela CEO John Stuart said these options were now being evaluated in conjunction with Gold Circle and other stakeholders, and that more details would be released soon.

That's some positive news , really not a fan of there racing but glad that those who make an honest living can stay on , those with cattle prodders etc need to be banned from there but hey thats just my opinion

This is good news whether you like racing from Flamingo or not.
The negative implications to the horses, trainer's, owners and overall community could be a disaster.
So all the best with negotiations.

Gold Circle to the rescue, I am sure.

GC, this is your opportunity to add PE racing to the negotiation table

Brilliant news !!!!!! Light at last at the end of the tunnel

Great news. I firmly believe there is a place for sand racing in South Africa.

What poor leadership from P.

Surely they should have initiated the negotiations and tried to find a solution instead of the "knee jerk reaction" of closing the venue!!!

Hope u can SOON start to sleep better Ziets

A meeting has just finished, and I believe it went well and they are very hopeful the track can stay open..
