I just got back from sunny sa and i can see that most changes have been good. I did though go racing at the vaal on Tuesday and i can report the following:
1:There were more official people on the course than public
2: The big board in the middle of the course is no longer so dividends/will pays are at the mercy of telecrap
3: R85 for a braai provided by Kelvin was value for money
4: No HOT water for striker to shower is a disgrace
5: Sitting 2m from DACHARLS mate Chainsaw and not saying 1 word out of line was an acievement akin to that of Mother Theresa's ability to "be nice"
6: watching the "heavy roller" only rolling the inside of the course was like watching daylight robbery before my very eyes (have a look at the draws of the winners)
7: the days times compared to the old serface were very close
8: Knowing that my next visit is at least 130 years away is refreshing
9: looking at the bookmakers ring and seeing only 1 oke standing was eye opening
10: going racing in sa is DEAD
