As I assumed Akajak, the ridiculous restrictions of covid have turned a lot of people away for good. Obviously we have the added issue of inflation etc but I think most who go racing realise that the bigger tracks are doing little (if anything to address this). Annual members were down for certain and badges at 20% more than pre covid would explain that. It will be interesting this weekend, its a good Guineas (1000 as well) but it is diluted by a third day. The stupid idea that premier racing day will solve this is nonsense, all it will do is reduce attendance at the 2nd tier meetings. Complimentary badges for owners were reduced this season and may have had an impact. It seems a foolish move when gates are so low. To be very honest the Craven meeting was as unexciting as it could have been this year.

I know Akajak. Believe me I nearly didn't. They need to get a little more humble. It seems as long as they are keeping those parasites in the jockey club areas happy nothing else matters. They are a bad advertisement for people coming racing for the first time.
