If that`s the case,not a brilliant piece of planning as tweseldown is now part of the SE Area. NOT as if our area can accommodate two meetings per weekend let alone on one day like the huge devon cornwall area can.
Ihave two requetsts for the coming season, FIRSTLY CAN WE HAVE REALISTIC CAR PARKING PRICES ALTERNATIVES TO £25 and £35 must be available. Yes Iknow a meeting can cost in excess of £20k to put on but it is stil alot of money to park in a possibly muddy field. otherwise I may have to fork out for a medical and a jockeys license again which is going to be lot more difficult than you may think to gain entry to all the meetings. Secondly, Our local horse stars such as Bee and Bee, cape stormer and Carry on harry are a pleasure to watch they rarely contribute to competitive racing as most horses are moderate and/or past their best,Believe ME I Know about moderate horses I have owned them. Could secretaries be more inventive and adventurous regarding framing the conditions of races, for instance Kingston blount have a racethat the horse and jockey must have combined age of 50 I realise of course that david robinson could ride a tube of frozen stallion sperm and still be elligible.races for moderate horse who have not won for a number of yearsbut are not good enough for open racesface a cul de sac for their ownerswho enjoy running them even thoughthere is no realistic opportunity of their horse winning again. moderate horses does not necessarily mean moderate racing. has anyone else has ideas for an interesting framing of a race, or even a series of races.
