I guess thats the dilemma us racing enthusiasts keep asking ourselves.

Tim and friends got a win and were there to enjoy it but with Trackside providing a great service and betting on line so convenient there is little reason to go ,other than those who enjoy seeing the horse in their flesh.

I note even folk with ownership interests often only pop out to see their horse race, and don't hang around. 

Ellerslie's public facilities are very good and considering the 40 mils of rain last week the track seemed OK by winter standards. No bog.

When the industry continues to treat is own supporters/battlers with disdain is it any wonder no one goes and interest continues to wane?
