Also, the pigeon shit everywhere! I was a member there for a long time, and the sports club! It was good, somewhere to go for a meal & drink, races next door.....perfect location if you are in harness racing, especially Ellis St where most of the trainers live, good support from Bankstown Council...........I don't know what's happened! Hopefully, someone can explain what has gone wrong........Now the Treuer downgrade, where is it headed??Originally Posted by djgood
The markets every Sunday, the trials Sunday morning 9.00 am sharp!... it was a good place to go......I remember there used to be over 100 bookies there at a meeting, some undercover and some not...............good grandstand, except the members get the finishing post pole position!
JE & "Tubba" ruled the roost! very sad!

The experienced trainer said the system was a disgrace and holds fears of the future of the industry with the current system.

Thanks for the details on Bankstown's woes Trish. Are we talking a competing Pokies joint here?

"There is no other racing game, that I know of, where you can't have a choice as a trainer or a owner for where you want your horse to race," Kahlefeldt said

I have to agree with him, we were told about 5 weeks ago we were put in the right eace by the handicapper because the horses form was weak, a 4000 dollar encouragenent so since he has won 1 and now its ok to be racing against a 3 year old that had won over 8000 in its previous 5 starts even though when we nominated it was no more than 1000 in last 4 and another 3yr pld that was a expensive purchase an trialed in 56.Thank god he wasnt well now its in the paddock!
Being a bit of a one-eyed Vic, I am only just starting to get the gist of what is going on up there. I would not race a horse if I did not have a say in where he raced. I can see that pretty soon the old pokies days referral to Vics as 'Mexicans' coming across the border will soon refer to Welshmen coming down to Vic to race their horses

Come on the system is working!!!!! full fields very competitve racing less odds on favourites . please give the system a go..............review quickly mr read and co. mr Kahlefeldt has got it right ..............Goullburn CO racing C4 c2 mare racing a C7 mare and only 6 horses in a 12K race yet they race for 4K at dubbo with bigger fields...........then $1500 races on melb cup day disgraceful! we are slipping backwards. Just send all your horses to Menangle Trainers and pay to watch them on TV. Fun Not !!! and for $1600 a month quoted by R.morris........price the hobbyist out of the business,
2 Restricted Races on the Shep program tonight - that is not a sport going forwards

Although Bling just won albeit he's a top horse ,this handicapping system is so wrong. Having to face M2,3,4 & 5's for your 1st start back from a break for an M0 stinks........I have spoken to many & not one is in favour of it..........
