Terrible for a lot of the punters but not a bad move for the trainers.

To be fair though, attendance at WP had been poor for years for anything outside of group racing.

Great, but it’s punters they need, and a couple of hundred hardened old veterans won’t save the industry.

For sure. The 280m Friday night party thing they tried a few years back at WP seemed like a good idea.

For mine, the industry is on borrowed time anyway.

For a long time the owners and trainers have had an opportunity to clean up their act and breed for temperament and longevity.

Instead they've kept breeding big numbers in the hope of getting a million dollar winner and stud dog, ending up needing to re-home a lot of dogs that aren't very suitable as pets.
