One thing i would like them to do at GP ( and they did try once before but to no avail ) but the 2100 metre start which is the majority of races - why cant they do somerthing about the start - i mean the number 1 has got a huge advantage at the start - ive never seen any other track with that advantage . At Wagga today ( 8 accross the front ) horses 5-8 were leading - there was none of this unbelievable bias to the horse drawn in gate 1
Maybe make the races 2160 metres or something so horses drawn out wide have a realistic shot for the lead

Can understand the arguments and valid points for the trots, but it's still a no vote from me.
The races totally 100% against the cutaway rail. Hoops just sitting back on roomy tracks waiting for it - even looks silly.
re to script if the drivers have to be following the right horse and takes them to the sprint lane more variables .think they are a no brainer big punters don't like them if the shepherd is in the breeze.

I might be wrong about rwwa employee but I reckon getthechange is rwwa affiliated as maybe a consultant as responses seem awfully familiar , I feel getthechange is here to try to swing a positive spin on the NBM ,to try to convince people that the NBM is ok which narrows the field down
You know me I told you who I am ,are you brave enough to do the same ,Brave enough to let everyone know an architect of the system is in the room

re curmudgeon - re horses 1-2-3
eligibility for C0 races is - winners of 2yo races - winners of two 3yo races - winners of R penalty races that haven't won a C0 - C0 races are not non winners races - eg yarra valley wed race 2
the MCR system has no race designated for non winners however for many years in WA we have been running conditioned R0 races ie R0 - restricted to non winners
just as your horses are ineligible for the non winners R0 race under the MCR system they are also ineligible for a non winners race under the new system because they aren't non winners
The new system doesn't have C0 races and there is no comparative level as it would depend on when a horse graduated from being C0 ie a horse winning a C0 at its first start would have graduated as $0 at the time of winning - a horse graduating from C0 that had won four country 2yo races and two 3yo races would have HWOE of approx. $11,000 at the time of winning
who am I - will divulge later today
Would rather your opinion on sprint lane at GP and why it has never been introduced or would RWWA consider it ???
Someone with many years experience in the handicapping system with a memory like an elephant.
AP by any chance ?
CS is one that comes into the field with experience and NBM support
It’s a pity rwwa didn’t have a Manager of Harness Racing to run extra education forums with actual results of how the NBM is tracking after 3 months in ,that is certainly long enough to gauge some results .More rumours come out or rwwa than actual facts lately ,there communication to the industry needs to improve still

re the marble ridge
The Marble Ridge has been deregistered and all horses that haven't raced under the new system and have been deregistered how their actual HWOE figure not the transition figure
eg Boo Hoo deregistered C2 - shows as $23,310 being C2 so would have transitioned as $22,500
Re who am I - yes involved in the new handicapping system and confident it will work well.
the decision to come on PTT was mine and mine alone and the opinions aren't propaganda for RWWA they are just how I see it
Initially I thought an alternative view was a good idea and would be welcomed but I don't need the stress so had pretty much decided to not do any more posts before Jeremy wanted to know who I was
attached are some figures I did from years ago
