After they sell the nest egg what do they do next time they run into trouble which is almost a certainty with the reduction in horses and trainers? How to stop the downward spiral to the bottom? They need punters but if the product is no good it is a vicious circle of death. My weekly spend on the North is 5% of what it used to be.

At least the grass tracks are still worth playing into.
