Interviewees in video warn of job losses and horses being put down if the government does not allow racing to resume
Jane Fonda — still going strong at age 82 — had the star role in Sydney Pollack’s 1969 movieUnlike the grim picture painted by trainer Mike de Kock regarding racing’s current crisis, the movie’s title grabbed the attention of film fans.
De Kock said: “Jobs and horse welfare are on the line if the government says no [to racing resumption]. Loss of jobs and euthanasia is going to become a grim reality.”Commissioned by Drakenstein Stud, Bon has put together a YouTube video — it has already had 7,000 hits — which includes some of the major players in the sport. In no particular order, they are Sean Tarry, De Kock, Adrian Todd, Vee Moodley, Hazel Kayiya, Geoff Woodruff, Paul Peter, Michael Azzie and Dean Alexander.
It might be a good move for the NHRA to send this video to the relative ministers adding “please check out Hazel Kayiya’s comments”. Bon said: “This is the most indescribably difficult position horse racing has ever confronted. We hope, we pray. More I cannot say though I would love to explode. There are a total of 24 horses at present including well-known former racehorses Alimony, Snowdon and Varberg.
