it seems certain areas & people who run the sport want D&C to be taken down several pegs ot two; rather than working together they keep hitting this area with stupid changes (without consultation???) ie the last 2 meetings not counting/race changes which ban 10yo+ Veteran Races/small trainer races/grass roots.. it goes on - well they will may get there way - there is now talk of a big split in the sport. if you keep reducing the meetings the whole sport shrinks- and those meetings lost can not be conjured up if things have/might turn around... & no one wants 10 meetings at Larkhill & Chaddesley do they?.we will have fewer races than Ireland next season the way things are going (why buy the loose leath for 450 races? ) but plenty of Lydstep type meetings - seems Lower Machan went to return next season with two dates in May (thats seems almost inpossible with the new charges)..
