I have been a loyal supporter of alan nightingale and his private training track and private trainer idea. I still think it is a very good idea.

Most of racehorses are out of race winning mares which have thrown race winners & or city winners.

Since the move from main stream horse trainers in the Newcastle area to the full private operation there has been a noticable lack of winners from the stable.

One can say heavy rain and washed out tracks are the cause but all other stables in the area have the same weather conditions to condend with.

The part owners in the horses have got to be wanting winners but the wins are not being currently notched up at the track, so how much longer can the operation maintain the current form as it costs just as much to feed a slow horse as it does a winner.
