I have an uncle that breeds quarter horses - they are mainly used for cutting in rodeo shows.

Seems a waste that we have to limit punters to weak thoroughbred races midweek, unless they follow the red hots or dogs.

I enjoy the dogs and trots, however would be great if we had quarter horse races.

They could start by having 2 or 3 races each Wednesday and only have 5 thoroughbred races. Then build it from there.

They could also have a few on Thursday night - ********ed punters in pubtabs around the country would love it!!

Think about it? The Slipper is a sprint race for babies, yet it attracts millions of dollars and plenty of interest from punters.

Quarter horses are much faster than thoroughbreds over 400-600m.

More betting options - have doubles and trebles combining both quarter horse races and thoroughbreds.

Maybe they should dig up the Kensington track and use it as a dirt track for quarter horse races midweek.

Punters are sick and tired of the same old boring mid week races, time for something new.
