mal wrote:Its got to be one of the most controversial race meetings ever scheduled
Saturdays Gay and Lesbian race meeting this Saturdays Pink Diamond Day
Staff at the SAJC have copped it already, being abused
Trackside diners have cancelled bookings in protest
Complaints have been made via Email from members
One person abused staff and was alledgedly quoted as saying ""We shouldnt be supporting 'poofters' and things like this - that its not proper
An email sent, alledgedly suggests to promote the appearance of Apache Cat and not a bunch of ''pushers and others dressed in pink.""
SUMMARY
This is a courageous decision by the SACA , full marks for trying something different to get people thru the turnstyles
Indeed they may get a large crowd this weekend, and a short term boost to the club
But the long term ramifications ?
Will regular patrons boycott this meeting, and perhaps future meetings ?
Will this meeting be offputting for non gay/lesbians who attend this meeting
Whatever happens, this promises to be one of the most bizzare race meetings ever held on a SA racecourse meeting
As for me, it would not bother me if I was in attendance on the day
IT never bothered me in the late 70s going to the Buckingham Arms disco either.

Obviously the main issue here is crowds at the races...
I am a massive horse racing fan BUT I also play cricket.
There is nothing I would enjoy more than to go to more race day meetings, in fact with footy and cricket I barely get to any in a year.
Why do we not have more Sunday and Friday Night meetings? I know if they were held on these days/nights I would attend 10+ throughout the year and spend my hard earned. I always watch Cantebury and MV night races and think wow, if that was in Adelaide tonight I would love to be there.
I'm assuming betting turnover, etc, etc are the reasons but Saturday's are really not suitable for alot of people.
