Nominations for the 25th March they are struggling to fill 5 races at this stage.

The weather in the western cape has been amazing the entire month. Bit hot, but no reason to not go racing.
We have Bass, Snaith, Nel, Kotzen, Kannemeyer, Crawford rattling around the other provinces but Western Cape dont have runners to fill cape racing.

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark"
 

I see Gauteng meeting for the 21st March also in trouble . Cant find horses to fill fields in their peek season????
They listed 11 events. 4 look like not having enough runners or barely.

Amazing how all the loud mouths have disappeared since there was a new paymaster

Small mercies no open maidens

Sylvester u are correct, open maidens a scourge of racing.
These operators have a census?
There are enough horses but programs useless! And we haven't raced most Mondays and Tuesdays for months. Pay people hundreds of thousands to serve up this rubbish!
Where have the ideas gone??
