the 3 books at newcastle

Same at Hove on a Wednesday afternoon, no one bets.  Their laptops all switched into Betfair.

Old guys

Still a ****...

Do they get paid by the track to attend

Paid

I was at Hove last year for an afternoon meeting, 3 books and they didn't take a ton between them all day. A fiver on the nanny goat made it an odds on shot!

I went Donny for big open night not too many moons ago and sure only had 2 books. Thought it a minimum of 3 to return sps?

Three of us after visiting our pup with a local trainer a few sundays back called into Doncaster track twenty years ago we were regular visitors went into the upstairs bar we were the only 3 in plus 1 barmaid reading a magazine watched 3 races and decided to leave as we left I spoke to a trainer from yesteryear who told me we were the only racegoers on the track that was not a trainer or with a trainer.i know the tracks receive tv money but what happens if this annual payment is pulled ho can the track survive

Do these bookmakers get paid for attending evening meetings.

I believe so...not so lucrative id say though.

Only Thursday nights on RPGTV and then Saturday.

Not much for them Thursday and Saturday is better I think...
