People in the Cape beware, you may think your race courses are safe, enter the racing houdini with his usual bag of tricks.

the last i heard no developement has taken place on the newmarket course...is it pure coincidence that 2 courses phukelela has sold to enrich themselves and certain individuals have had zero developement on them?

these pics should be made a sticky as a reminder of what can happen if you let Phumelela and its shareholders do as they like

I find it sadder to see it like that than if it had disappeared completely, like Gosforth Park. Let's face it, from those pics it doesn't look as if it would take a massive amount of work to get it raceable again, although we don't have any pics of the actual track.
