explanation sydney racing lacks personality.
i suppose i meant BORING i hope that helps.
i know it is not kosher to knock things and i dont like knocking my major interest but i find sydney a let down.
recall the days when you had carnivals e.g. ryder stakes golden slipper over consecutive saturdays.
doncaster saturday and good monday meeting then following saturday sydney cup etc.
all condensed into super days now. due to what. lack of horses. lack of competetive stables .
stable dominance etc.
i believe that the brisbane races with their restricted classes and some elevated prizemoney offers pretty competitive racing sydney with $60,000 prizemoney races and i commend their attempt to lift the racing there but it still has a way to go.
even putting a listed race each week is a good initiative.
the last 3 races in sydney on saturday were the best races they've had for a while outside carnival time.
lets hope we see more of it and in more races.
anyone got any news on the tvn saga. i have heard nothing for a while.
