The Levy.

[Soary Stars]

The Levy's been going 50 years - does that coincide with the opening of LBOs in Britain?
Some kind of deal done back then?
Which of course brings us to <fanfare of trumpets> the loosening of restrictions on ... credit!

See, it all came from back then.

It's all too dirty .... wash my mouth out now. yeuch.

You'll maybe think I hate what effect easy money & loose credit has on us .....

In fact, the more I muse on it the more I'm thinking ...

The Levy & its consequences has ruined racing.

Have a tote & on-course pitches for 'turf accountants'.
Kick the rest into touch. LBOs, internet betting both can go.

Watch the field sizes dwindle then disappear at the lower end & the quality persisting elsewhere.

The result would be just quality.

Popular idea this'll be. :lol:

Soary Stars,

What are you on? Is it expensive? Where can it be got? Does it have any lasting side effects?

Planet Earth. Try it sometime.

Ah come on, try to see past the money!
Racing existed before the Levy.
If you want what you get nowadays, fine, carry on the way you're going & so will racing.

I'll get myself bored with this, too, soon enough.

There's a lot of faint hearts around!
