What a MASSIVE WANK!

[dizzy]

C'mon Dot... That is a ridiculous statement. Sure the industry has seen better times but to say the end is in sight is a bit silly. I don't want to engage in a debate over this because it will just go round in circles but if you honestly think that of the industry maybe you should get out before your hand is forced!

No debate Mitch but you have proven previously that you are good with numbers, so perhaps you could look into some of the critical ones for the industry and decide for yourself just where we are positioned. Apart from afore mentioned turnover and field sizes, give consideration to the number of licensed participants, number of broodmares, stallion services, foal numbers, race meetings, races, yearling sale results, prizemoney increases with regard to inflation, positive articles in the press etc.

As to getting out-funny you should say that, I am actually deliberating on an exit strategy right now though I expect it will be around a 5 year plan. I look forward to racing the foals I have due this year and intend to repeat those matings this year, after those foals I expect I will be breeding TB's -spent an enjoyable day at the TB weanling sales just last week!
