THE ERNIE (Sat 3 Sep) The racecourses want the Saturday crowds.
Its what happens when you have too much racing with no demand.
Most of Saturday's racecards could have been spread throughout the week.
The worse thing is there is a big race on Saturday (Group 1 for instance).
This race get's lost in the dregs of surrounding sellers at Thirsk and a class 6 handicap at Lingfield which goes off late and impacts on the days big race.
Racing fails to promote itself.
I hope I made sense.
