Brady. I'm not sure where in my posts you read that I was against attracting new people to racing....my point of discussion is that hosting regular family days does not generate sufficient income to cover the additional promotional costs involved. …

Please Diva, call me love not mate...I'm a sheila. I'm not sayng ban children from race courses - I'm just saying to my mind there's more value in promoting the sport to adults. Have family race days, they're great events but not every race day ne…

Well Diva, from Carlosa's observations it would seem that couples with children in attendance do not punt or spend as much on hospitality as they would if they were there without the children. Anyway I will agree to disagree on this one.....my perf…

With all respect Brady....this initiative is not attracting new business....it is incurring additional overheads. There is no additional revenue to be gained from having families attend race meetings on a regular basis. The cost of hiring a bouncy…

Having families in attendance on race days does not generate income. Swelling the crowd by a few thousand as a result of a family day promotion will not increase turnover and will have a negligible effect on bar and food income. With respect to th…

You don't get it Damien. Sure the Club can go out and sell 8 sponsorship packages at $1,000 but the profits on that are tiny. It's the big sponsorships that generate profit and add vlaue through association. Naturally there is better value in a s…

All races that are conducted by Perth Racing that are named such as: 2YO Westspeed Hcp, perthracing.com, races named after special events for members such as 40th wedding anniversary etc, Italian Day this Sat, mid week roast etc etc, all of these ra…

I don't think you need to be a Trainer to get access to HarnesWeb. You can probably just request an account on the HarnessWeb home page and provide your details - obviously you won't be given full functionality if you're not a trainer/breeder but w…

Gilgamesh... It may be possible to join the Caducues Club which is a private club and has the best viewing and seating facilities on the course. The facility includes private Tote facilities and bar and it is possible to dine but not a prerequisit…

I like the fact that the Inters will have a 'home' - albeit for only 3 years at this stage. At present the Metropolitan Club in the host State spends a huge amount of money advertising and promotiing a terrific event that occurs and then diappears …

The reality is that the minimum attendance number at a GP Friday night meeting is in the vicinity of 1,000+. The size of the venue and the fact that the crowd disperse throughout the various function rooms and restaurants can lead to a feeling of '…

You'd think so but I can't find any information to confirm this. Maybe they're waiting for the penalty to be imposed prior to issuing an announcement? Does anyone know if the WA connections have been awarded the win?

The following media release appeared on the NZ Harness Racing website last week..... 15 June 2011 Press Release ? SMOKEN UP The Racing Integrity Unit has issued charges to licensed trainer Lance Justice alleging breaches of the Rules of Harness Rac…

The timely response from RWWA is to be commended.

You may be right. I can't see there being a great cost factor involved in delivering the handicapper's official rating to the RISA website but I don't understand the interface that allows CRIS to 'talk' to the RISA database. Perhaps a programming …

In my opinion, the most unfortunate aspect of a multi code/TAB authority is that its diversity in product (wagering, thoroughbreds, greyhounds and harness)hamstrings the development of each of the individual products. Were RWWA's focus solely tho…

For fast weight loss you can't go past the elliptical. Minimal stress on all joints and works upper and lower body at the same time. It's not easy but it's rewarding.

Be fair....the Big Breakfast Team are many things but mind readers they are not. From previous experience they are only too willing to consider guest suggestions from listeners.

The following news item appeared on HRNZ's website earlier this week.... Post Race Swab - Smoken Up The Racing Integrity Unit has been advised by the Racing Science Centre in Brisbane, Queensland that upon their analysis of the ?B? sample obtained …

Didn't think my comments were defeatist. I don't support race clubs throwing a lot of additional money regularly at on-course entertainment. I applaud Clubs putting their money into specific promotional events, e.g. cup days and other special prom…

Tivers, you're right. Practically running a three hour race meeting is impossible for a multitude of reasons but the point I was making was clubs throwing money at race day entertainment isn't the answer...people are time poor not starved for enter…

Radman" said: I'm for creating a carnival atmosphere at the races. How about a couple of magicians walking around performing card tricks, a DJ on the back lawn, 'trains' picking up people from the carparks and taking them to the gate, a big adventur…

Bobby D, it's a promoter's job to attract media attention and create hype to attract an increased local attendance and thus generate a higher return on food and beverage sales on-course. Also (and I don't know who you're talking about) but I would …
