In a recent interview with the press champion trainer charlie lister let off some steam lambasting the open race scene in the uk
"Tracks recieve hundreds and thousands of pounds for track updates and tractors etc..but the prize money remains desperately poor"
"Travelling all over the country for £100 opens is a joke in this day and age .I love the game but when you look at how unfair the industry is to trainers and owners,it leaves a sour taste in the mouth"
"If i were a younger man i would pack up and move to ireland at least those who provide the tracks with their runners are treated properly there"
How sad when a trainer of lister calibre feels so bitter about the whole uk racing scene
but the thing is its true i wonder when i hear of big money purchases from ireland going to race in the uk ..i scratch my head and say WHY do people fork out thousands to run for micky mouse money?
