would they look at having more meetings at oakbank ? (i know they have an extra meeting coming up this year) but i was thinking that maybe it along with other provincials that while the 2nd track at morphettville is being built that oakbank & others could serve a purpose so the main track at morphettville has time to recover between meetings

Racing in over.
It will never see the days of old.
There is far too much better to do....

The racing authorities never kept up....
Blame them....

i thought gawler and murray bridge were going to share the load of racing while we wait on morphettville, but not 100% sure, and you cant be certain with anything these days that the racing admin decide

you'll find (a.grub would know) that gawler is or about to have or is having renovations & a new track put in, so gawler is out of that equation

Murray Bridge is going to build a new track in the next few years isn't it? I think they want to sell where they are now and lease it back and race there until the new track is built. Does this mean Murray Bridge will get some Saturday meetings? I hope so can just go down the road.

is Morphettville going to put lights up, or has that been canned due to the on-going legal fees in the latest saga.........
Cheltenham would have been a better track for night racing
