This alleged news has been going around awhile, presume Balak cup and balak meetings to be moved to gawler...all strath meetings to MB...seems a shame when the only way of fixed problems in racings seem to be to close down clubs and sell racecourses.

I know little about horse racing but surely Balak is a better track than the 200m home straight of Gawler?

Balak is a much better track, Hayes takes many of his horses to balak as it is a good track for horses to learn racing and get experience on a decent track..... it comes down to how well each individual club is going financially I think and the local support.....
Will be a sad day if we lose the Balak Cup day......
Waikerie..... the Sha Tin of Australia..... werent they tossing up with Port Augusta as well......lol

Last year I filled the Grand Slam.
Adelaide Cup.
Oakbank.
Balaklava.
And the biggest of the big,like Wimbeldon,The Quorn Cup.The single greatest weekend in any married mans life.(Only 9 weeks to the next one).
If Balak's was taken from me,I would have to find another meeting to go too.
