Racing is boring when it is on repeat, eg Addington Friday and Sunday. No one wants to attend anything if there is no atmosphere. When the powers that be went through their stupid reviews and said these courses are closing and no TAB operators on course you are taking away what racing is meant to be - an event. Why do people go to Kaikoura? Food and views. Why do people go to Banks P / Coast over Xmas? Social occasion. Jewels? A big money occasion and place to be that weekend. I hope the bosses remember this. 2 Quote
