things are dire mate. The Galah and others have often pointed out the declining numbers racing as a main issue. That to me is the thing we need to address with haste. No Participants = No Sport.  I do totally admire that you want to get a Bet on to help out (and line your pockets) great spirit of adventure. The bottom line is you need Participants first, Races 2nd and Revenue 3rd.  Queensland and Victoria operate at a Revenue Loss . Does anyone seriously bet on them ? no. I don't bet on them and I'm a big fan.  The thing is they still operate because we get Sponsor's, and PAtron's , and Stalwarts and Slot races and all sorts of inspired ideas to keep the SPORT going. It's a Sport , people want to play. Do you shut your local GOLF course when memberships drop off and no-one is 'Betting ' on the players ?? no . They get off their bums and get money from whatever source is available. ENtain helped harness no end and yet you hate it.  Brad Steele happy with it . and the participants.  All you blokes on these forums Counting runners and Revenue every 2nd week is No help at all. Race a Horse would help !!! like they do in Queensland. People here still racing a horse (or 3) and KEEPING the Game going. (for now)

i like your thinking gamma. whats that old quote"we cannot  solve our problems with the same thinking(or people) as when we created them".
