The questions arise about the future of individual meetings for rural communities as the country’s careers are canceled in Western Australia.
The races and bets of Western Australia (RWWA) have canceled two horse racing events in the western media cities in the last 12 months.
Meanwhile, races in other parts of the region have stopped due to applications to update the infrastructure.
The most recent cancellation was when Rwwa considered that Mingenew’s track “not suitable for the purpose” for its annual meeting in March.
A racing event in Dongara was also canceled last year and the Yalgoo Turf Club had to spend thousands of dollars to keep its track into operation.
Rwwa said in a statement that “the safety of participants and horses was a priority.”

Mingenew Shire president, Gary Cosgrove, said he had put a new rail to rectify the damage inflicted during the Cyclone Seroja in 2021.
But he said that the only changes that had been made on the track were to drive and sew the grass layer.
He said that the Turf Club had spent the grass of the grass last year to put the track at zero, but Rwwa noticed a slight inclination.
“Two administrators appeared from Perth and inspected the track and found an area of concern … to do with the color of the grass and where the track fell at a short distance,” Cosgrove said.
“The solution was to move the railroad in a meter … but in politics in Punto, the head of the head got one of his cohorts to contact Turf Club and cancel.”
He said the RWWA told him that the meeting could be rescheduled until May.
“But who wants to go to the races in the midst of planting”,
said.
A Rwwa spokesman said in a statement an inspection “noticed insufficient grass growth from 1000m to the 400 my mark near the crossing.”
Cosgrove said it was an arbitrary decision and that there had to be a more simplified communication to avoid cancellations “for a stupid reason in the last minute.”
“Racing Wa needs to establish standards for countries in countries and be really clear about it,” he said.

Racing in the country ‘dwindling’
The former jockey and coach retired Rhona Macphilomy said that she felt sad for the clubs and that there had been a clear decrease in the industry.
He said that despite having a weakening appetite for sport, he was still the heart and soul of regional cities.
“It’s a great atmosphere [and the] Field people who go there. It is where horses that cannot win in provincial careers can win and the owners fully enjoy, “he said.
Mrs. Macphilomy said she had concerns about changes in monitoring inspections and that better communication was needed.

She said it was worrying if the RWWA made decisions before consulting with runners or coaches.
“Because the country’s slopes are not as provincial, they are not green bowls, they are classified as land clues with a grass cover,” Macphilomy said.
“Have [RWWA] He approached the best leading field coach … or the riders who travel there, year and year?
“But if [RWWA] I just entered there and said ‘no, he can’t do that’, so that’s a bit sad in his name. “

Barriers
The executive president of Shire del Yalgooo, Ian Holland, said that the racing club in his region had faced “a couple of difficult years.”
“Control boys in Perth do not like how the clues are red land for some reason, although the races have been made for many years,” he said.
“We have had many suggestions to [fixing] The racing track for which I know other places have had exemptions.
“It is almost to choose and choose during a race a year what has to happen.”
Meanwhile, in Broome, more than 1,000 kilometers north of Yalgoo, the horse racing track is also Earth, that the Broome Turf Club website describes as the main attraction.

The Yalgoo Jockey Club has been asked to put plastic barriers, which would cost around $ 220,000, to administer its annual meeting.
Holland said the voluntary club did not have the money and that it would need to ask others for help, such as the region.
“It does not seem that the racing commission wishes to help,” he said.
“There should be a little more effort to evaluate the clues so that [last minute cancellations] Do not pass and do not ruin all other groups.
“The pattern [of country cancellations] It almost does the risk [of putting on an event] It is not worth taking.“
When he was asked to describe the process even more, a RWWA spokesman said that “there was nothing more to add”, but the horses and the reimbursed participants were a priority.
