I believe this topic was brought up in an Interstate news paper a little while back ?
SA trotting is not a good revenue raiser ?
Sky and TABS are needing to revamp the situation ?
Twilight meetings ?[Not Stevie Wrights boys]

What will 24 races in days and not 3 days mean to me
1 less quaddie/treble/daliy double per week at the red hots
That = loss of wages for me [so dont do it pleasssssssssssssssssssssse]
And loss of turnover or increased turnover for the TABS ???

it or similar is going to happen shortly (negotiations on going) i believe mondays are gone because that sky/nswtab want to bet on hong kong races & it is more time committments & night racing (gallops) that they want fridays moved, well at least that's how i understand it
