Maybe, if this site sponsored a greyhound race (obviously one that is televised) the membership would grow.

I have no Idea of what this would cost or even if its a good idea.

Brad from Team Bundy would know...I think at Lismore Tuesday Nights they do Charity nights where any tickets you sell in raffles and pre sold entry to the course you keep...but also race names sold for $50 per race goes to the charity as well. So for $500 you could name every race on the night.

Not really charity nights either......sportsclubs and all run them.

Thanks for the info, does anyone know what the price is for a race at one of the city tracks such as wentworth, meadows or sandown?

It will probably be a bit more expensive although would get more exposure.

Sorry Mate I have no idea

10 TAB races all named the RacingForum something

1. Racing Forum Punters Club Mdn
2. Racing Forum Classifieds Grade 5
3. racingforum.com.ay FFA
blah blah blah

in all racing papers...on all racing radios and Sky channel for $500 could work well

Id sponsor one of the races
boxonesyndications.com.au Gr5 stayers race

Im pretty sure the $50 per race figure is right

I'd use the site address mainly.
Racing forum unfortunately is a 'universal' term.

But derivatives as suggested could work but the .com part is essential.

Yeah i would definitely include Racingforum.com.au or else it wouldn't be very targeted.

What im not sure with is if its worth the money when i could use that $$ to buy ads on other websites.
