I have no idea of other peoples education levels but I know mine and am confident and proud not having to be ashamed therof but I also dont need to flaunt it by using language that is difficult to understand for the ordinary Joe Soap reader/poster... Especially when one wants to bring across or make a point that everyone can grasp and understand.
People often talk/write a lot without really saying

Frankie is streets ahead, George.
Recall those old black and white photo finishes from the Cape Hunt days.
They used to be collectors items - Rian Rix will recall remember well.
Will try and dig up one or two and publish

Mr Evans I agree wholeheartedly to whatever you said . How excited that groom must of been. Grooms are so important . A lot of the trainers make a fuss of their grooms , it’s so nice to see. Our head groom pass away but his wife leads in every winner we have . He has a Daughter that works in our family business Hyper Paint . Grooms make

The administrators were determined to penalise the connections but in so doing, penalise hundreds/thousands of punters. The sport is funded by punters who suffer significantly from such insane rules. The jockey was dislodged before the start, thus a non-runner irrespective of archaic

"and some punters requested that we publish the official photo, as we do below:"Mr.Ed this photo does not help the ballies at all unless we have Frankie's equipment that he uses
Let's see the line or wait for Frankie to set us straight
In the old days every photo finish was stuck in the box on course with the glass door.

Definitely not the starter to blame! The Starter has a very difficult job. It’s impossible for him to watch 15 horses. The rules are wrong . That horse should of been declared a non runner

Mr Marx that was a disgrace and a even bigger disgrace to say those are the rules . Just refund the punter.

I see nothing wrong with what Chris wrote. If you don’t understand a word just move on, you will eventually grasp what he is saying. Keep it up Chris. Don’t let anyone knock you for being educated. I wish I was

Sleepy Hollow – Bo’s One Horse Town Of Choice!
Slowly but surely the industry is evolving and transforming as new players enter the stage and start to make their mark! We applaud and support these pioneers as they make their way up the slippery slope.
These guys particularly deserve our respect as they started from nothing and although struggling and baby steps, they are going about their business. No silver spoon, no generational wealth or family connections, just hard work and perseverance. Messrs Ncgobo, Gila, Ruiters on the training front- Messrs Reynolds, Pooe and all the Indian owners starting to have winners and taking on the elitist, exclusive club and starting to find their feet. If we want this industry to thrive and grow, then new players on the owning and betting side need to be welcomed, encouraged and supported. The Cape has set the example by encouraging Mr Gila to set up shop and supported him with a good few runners. Now Gauteng has to do the same for Mr Ruiters and KZN with Mr Ncgobo. Not charity- support, like for the other marginal trainers across the country. There are/were hundreds of people of colour involved in bush racing and Cape Hunt back in the day; these folks can be encouraged to return to the sport of horses. Make the pie bigger, don't cut the slices

South Africa’s Racing Regulator – How And Why?
Mr Peter, I am sure you will do a fine job and that pools will grow if a few things are done differently. The big reason however is never addressed and until such time pools will bare witness to it. Nothing is being done to create a new market for racing. The reality is that a number of punters have died, many have left the tote and even racing and economic hardships have hit many. What part of getting new clients is not understood as without this the current scenario is not unusual and will continue to get worse. Could it be any clearer than in the figures and yet it's business as usual and no visible sign of anyone giving a
