It might be a longshot especially when you consider that I retired 10yrs ago as longevity does not run in the family
I attended the 3 biggest nights at Melton last year but Breeders Semis night is my first this year
I have done a couple of counts - there is no more than 500 here, 200 are in the bistro for a variety of family gatherings and counting all in the cafe (60/70) as watching the races, I would estimate about 250 people are watching the races on this fairly important night

There is NOBODY in the SkyBox, NOBODY in either Legends function room
As a spectator/attendee sport, tonight suggests we are done
How long can a sport survive (have enough new owners and sponsorship) without spectators

As stated in the Breeders thread - entrants are down too

I don’t think I will outlive the trots but it is no longer 1000/1
NZ cup day impressed me so maybe somebody can fix Vic

I hate messaging on my phone so I will fix any mistakes after
