"will Racing Be Put On Hold Due To Corona Threat?"

By Smart-still-poor-punter | 10-Mar-2020

Hi Friends,

Finally it appears Coronavirus may come to the rescue of punters as many state governments are contemplating to ban festivals and large gatherings to thwart any possible spread of the killer virus.

If that be the case and if the sudden spurt in the number of people testing positive for Corona across India is also taken into account, it looks like many race-courses may soon be forced to think in terms of abandoning horse racing for the time-being.

BTC, RWITC and RCTC must already be pondering on this worthy idea, which can also help our punters to 'reorganise' themselves to launch a fresh attack (whose results are, of course, pre-destined?)

@ Ramesh

      That was an interesting query though.

      I want such punters who don't listen to me to 'reorganize' and see what's still in store for them. I don't try to implement my wishes on anyone, you must know.

     When you know that this gambling is not going to get you back anything and will suck as much as it can and leave you skinny soon, you still want to pretend as if I am a fool and you are the most intelligent.

     However, I have already made it clear in many of my other posts that my call to quit (if you can control your losses - no question of winning my friend) is only to those who languish in the middle-class and lower middle-class categories. If you are not there, please keep moving.

SSPP,

Why do you want the punters to reorganize ? Do you want them to continue racing or give up racing ?

Yes human lives are more  important. all sporting events have been cancelled in cluding Golf.

The same question was put by me to an AAP [ruling party in dlehi] member what about !  12to 15 lakhs commuters  travelling daily in Metro  in closed space He said ''politics  is an art of showing off more tnan its usage.''

Your letters every 2 days on the evil of racing shows it is like cancer spreading in you  with your old losses.  A pity allowing your self to be dragged in to an abyss of hatred

Form  a group of race haters and sit and crib   together

Hi Friends,

     So finally it happened ! At least now punters like 'Golden Viper' would have realized that human lives are more important than a group of people going and losing money in the race courses. One must learn to see things in the right perspective and that hardly happens with 'hardcore' punters? Given the trend, races may not be held in any centre for the entire month. Time to cool your heels in your respective houses guys. Get ready for the next round of battle with renewed vigour. All the best.

One you already quit racing need not worry about the future of racing, pl forget about racing and relax, concentrate on essay writing on other subjects.

SSPP,

File a case in Supreme Court regarding horse racing and call for a total ban. Entire punters community will be saved. 

Now it is Corona ! What else you have ?

when one is loser even years back  and cannot get over the loss he tries to pull down every one associated with it.His en dless letters show a man trapped ion his own doings .

Please come to delhi Metro in the morings and evenings , is jam packed like sardines in a can Infact at times metro marshals nhave to stop people getting in.So is the case with DTC  buses .mum  subern trains    are same in peak hours   should they be   banned.

COVID  does not spread in the open but only with physical contact.

It seems you are in need of help as day by day you are sinking to new lows'

God help you

One by one, schools, shops are being closed. At this rate they may stop racing also. But since the Banglore summer season is coming to an end in the next 3meetings, they may stop off coarse bettings.

It's High time for the Authorities to cancel all racing activities on immediate effect.

Health concern should be given the priorities..

And coronavirus strengthening it's position since it's arrival...

Hi

Corona is nothing but Glorified Common Cold. The Racing will go on. Its the media which is instilling fear in the minds of the public. No one will die due to Corona in India as our immunity is stronger than anyone in the other part of the world.

No body is pondering only your excellency is wishing and imagining that Race courses  t be closed down soon.

SSPP sir Racing itself a big virus affecting all and so we are immune to corona virus it will not dare to approach us - one virus will not attack another virus.

Why you are always thinking against Races. If you do not like it no problem be happy at home. If you think corona virus will attack us you are wrong it will attack you only. As you think it will happen.  Please do not turn back to Races. corona virus may catch you. Please take care. If you remove negative thoughts from your mind life will be much more pleasurable for you.

Best Regards

Now. It is height of negativity.  Even if the club are not thinking on these terms it seems you will remind them.  Sir, please stop such a propoganda.  Now you will say Race betting is worse than Corona Virus.
