I think you have a great point ,yet I don't think it will ever happen Wattie .even I will be honest enough to admit if yb racing was cancelled for next year ,we just raced Old .the Old bird losses would mean stock at a minimum ,what to do then with perhaps only a few pairs left and having to wait another 12 months to race,i would probably shut up shop,and I think many would throw the towel in too. the feds , feed suppliers , studs and unions & feds especially small ones with a few clubs only could fold with lack of revenue .it could indeed bringer a faster ending to our hobby than the threat from above
