Port Elizabeth trainers have been lauded for their response to the unscheduled race meeting which will take place to-morrow at Fairview.“I am so impressed.
The response from trainers in Port Elizabeth has been absolutely phenomenal,” said Clyde Basel, Racing Executive of Phumelela Gaming and Leisure, yesterday.

“With their response, they have shown that the racing industry can indeed stand together in a time of need.
The PE trainers have come to the party when we needed them most.
For that, we say thank you.
The National Racing Bureau got their team together in a ma er of hours to pull this together.”
