Could you tax NZ imports that have raced (excluding trotters) 20% of the purchase price and reinvest that money into races for WA bred horses, or races for hobby trainers?
Or enforce a 20% of WA bred horses in every professional stable rule?

7 of the 11? So it wasn’t a full field and no one received a ballot as their can be 12 so let’s say there was 4 noms that weren’t 3yo so that race would of fallen over had they of decided to run the 3yo race with 7 runners, struggling to see the problem here
100% serious. High priced NZ imports, while 1000000% in their right to be brought here, are killing the industry - both breeding and participant numbers wise. Talking about the 3yo races, Barry Hamilton mentioned the low numbers of 3yos for the reason there are no current 3yo races (though they will be scheduled later). Why are there no 3yos? Lower foal numbers. Why are people leaving the industry? too hard to get a win
Summer has always shown a decline in 3yos as alot are in the paddock. Yes local breeding numbers have dropped and RWWA need to address that. To TAX imported horses is a joke. Why NZ horses. Why not SA or NSW or VIC? The big stables have a buisness model that has proven successful, i know one of them has moved with the times and started breeding more or buying more at the sales. To Tax imports is a ridiculous idea and will deminish the product in WA.

Hey Jayjay not sure if you’re on twitter but I presume your not, Barry Hamilton tweeted today that the best turnover races are when there is a favourite ranging between $1.80-$2.20 which makes sense to me, I’m on the fence with the new system but can see a lot of positives that can come from it and a lot more if they tweak it a little

Yeah I’m in the same boat without writing a novel I can see the positives and negatives in the new system but also a believer that something had to change, the old system was outdated but if they want industry sustainability they need more than a better programming model they need to attract new trainers drivers stable hands etc

wins a $30k restricted mares race and yet only cops a $15k increase to
its HWOE yet the win stake was $18,135? Whereas Davinci Diamond cops the
whole whack of $10,881 for winning an $18k race, Our Max Phactor cops
the full whack of $12090 for winning a $20k race, Ana Malak cops $30k
for winning $75,563. Can someone explain to me how this even approaches
being fair? It so favours the high ability horse giving them free kicks
all over the place.

HWOE LT $25,000 (concessions HWOE LT $29,500 (so if you’ve earnt more than $2,250 in the last 5 starts and are under the $29,500 you need a novice driver) also eligible HWOE LT $40,000 with LT $2,250 L5 (which means if your HWOE is under the $40,000 but you haven’t won more than $2250 in the last 5 you don’t need a Concession and you can have the highest HWOE in the race with an experienced leading driver to steer it around

I think it can be best summed up - by the elderly lady with her 2 white poodles who use to frequent the Five Ways TAB in Sydney - she said - "Im breaking thje golden rule tonight - im breaking the golden rule " - i said to her - whats that - she said " Im having a bet on the Red Hots "
What are you on about???
