Interesting topic. Until very recently i, like many of you, paid little or no attention to Adelaide even though i reside here. What is interesting were comments made by David Hayes on racing retro recently. When asked about the poor state of SA racing, he suggested that he was to busy with his 200+ horses to get involved. I found the comment to be in very poor taste and perhaps a little more diplomatic answer could have and should have been given. But in all fairness i suppose it sums the situation up perfectly. With all the larger prizemoney races being held in the eastern states, who cares about SA?

I know i'm hardly suggesting anything that isn't obviously apparent to one and all, LOL. However by the same token i find that should i be fortunate enough to be on the race winner, the colour of the cash i receive from the bookies is the same as that from other states. Unfortunately, for this punter and like others quoted, that's all i give a damn about too. In the end i'm sure the situation will be addressed. Perhaps a leaf from the book of Queensland racing could be taken.
