Merging state racing industries
........... looking ahead, there is no separate future for racing in Queensland and South Australia.
It is not good policy for either state to be wasting, on redundant racing, the takeout from their residents punting mainly on races in Victoria and NSW.
Ideally, both these states would be looking to merge their racing operations with NSW and Victoria and hammering out a program of high-quality, metropolitan carnival racing to be run locally occasionally.
