i think how each racing code have spent the entain money will decide whether its a dead cat bounce. as to the spreads the clubs put on back in the say. i remember my parents racing a horse or two back in the early 1970's. they would always get a couple of tickets each and then take a friend with them to a room where free afternoon tea was provided for owners.From memory they were allocated 2 or 3 cakes as well as a cup of tea. They still owned one that was in training or racing during the late 80's and 90's,i'm pretty sure the owners got no free afternoon tea by then,but i do recall my parents often commenting on how the local clubs would put on free drinks and food for friends of club members,who only went for the free food and booze and never showed any interest in anything racing. I remember one particular fella who was never a club member and had no interest at all in racing, but would always roll out drunk near the end of the local raceday. funny thing is,my wife and i raced harness horses for many years and the the only club to ever provide an afternoon tea type thing was forbury. Never once did we get an invite from any club,apart from the forbury club for food..if we won our local club would always invite us in for a drink and addington and forbury as well,but no one else did and we have won a race or two at most of the south island tracks. -

A few things stick out to me. Depending on what clubs or committee members are selling off or developing their land surrounding the racecourse dictates the asthetics and value of the dwellings. Ellerslie and Awapuni are vastly different to Riccarton, the latter being used for affordable housing. The Trustees managing the capital providing regular revenue, I assume through investment. Have any clubs built their own houses or commercial buildings as rentals, also a form of ongoing revenue? I question whether committees make the right decisions for the future of their clubs. As far as club constitutions are concerned, these come up for review on a regular basis usually discussed in detail at an SGM. I don't know why this important process is brushed off as insignificant by many. It's a bit late after the event trying to change what's been voted on. -

The Trough$ were at their fullest in the mid 80's! Racing then reflected the actual stakes to betting ratios! The spreads that were available to some on any race day were rather impressive! The Press Room would be restocked for Every Meeting! Then the big share market crash in Oct '87. It played out very much so in the Racing Industry. Since then their has been a continue decline.. will Entain prove to be a Dead Cat Bounce? or are they laying new foundation transformative progressive change into the future? We be watching that be played out in real time! -

The Shadai Race Horse Company, which owns Masquerade Ball (Duramente) and Jantar Mantar (Palace Malice), has confirmed that neither horse will travel from Japan to the Dubai World Cup meeting, citing the uncertainty surrounding the conflict in Iran and across the Middle East. According to a report on the Nikkan Sports website, the stakeholders of the racing club reached their decision “based on the ongoing uncertainty regarding the smooth transportation to Dubai and the difficulty of ensuring the safety of horses and riders due to the lack of a clear end to the conflict.” Masquerade Ball, who was last seen running a close second in the G1 Japan Cup, had been due for a rematch with the winner Calandagan in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic, while four-time Group 1-winning miler Janta Mantar was set to run in the G1 Dubai Turf. The four-year-old Masquerade Ball, who won last year's G1 Tenno Sho (Autumn) after finishing runner-up to Croix Du Nord in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby), is likely now to be rerouted to the G1 Osaka Hai at Hanshin on April 5. A trip to Hong Kong is under consideration for five-year-old Jantar Mantar, who holds an entry for the G1 Champions Mile at Sha Tin, Hong Kong on April 26. TDN's Bill Finley yesterday spoke to a number of American connections with runners planned to travel to Dubai, with most adopting a wait-and-see approach. Trainer Jose D'Angelo, who has Bentornato (Valiant Minister) entered for the GI Dubai Golden Shaheen, said, “We are still planning to go. Everything is set up to go. We have talked to the people in Dubai there and they say that everything is good to go. “Of course, I am worried about it. This is not normal. We see from here on television everything that is going on. But, hopefully, in two weeks the situation will be better.” Racing in Qatar has been postponed this week but, at the time of writing, the Dubai Racing Club was still planning to stage its meeting on Friday, while the Bahrain Turf Club's two-day King's Cup meeting is still intended to go ahead on Thursday and Friday.
