    Yes some interesting and pertinent comments from Anthony McDonald. With Casinos (pokies) being almost universally co located with racetracks in North America racing is linked inextricably with gambling in many people's minds there and that no doubt is a barrier to some attending races. I presuming fractional ownership is the same as syndication (?) which we already do here but there's is no doubt an opportunity to do it better then we have been.

    Unless I read it wrong I took Anthony's major message to be to get people involved in the ownership of horses which will then in turn boost racetrack attendances, which would seem to be the opposite of what many people have said here which is get people to the track which will then get them into ownership.

    It would seem to be what he is saying Dot, but I am firmly in the other camp - get them to the track first and then joining a syndicate could be on the cards. Unless he is talking about people who love horses and follow the sport on the media (where you place your syndication ads). If we had fantastic media cover it could be a possibility - I would liken it to a person who follows their footy team on TV and supports them by buying a membership even though they never go to any games
