All reference to the "New Business Model" from 2018 now appear to have been expunged from the website. replaced by programming directs and links to the National Ratings Handicapping along with all the templates ( for points gained/points lost according to stake of the race).
Early days (extremely early) but Concession drivers are getting far more opportunities, thanks in part to both the Busselton Club's very progressive promotion for their season, and trainers getting savvy on the concessional claim, which only works because of a substantial swing in programming to PBD, as it always should have been.
Short priced favourite betting data also showing a definite trend based on very limited data from just the 5 meetings completed: Starting Price data and "C" indicates Concession driver. Just 7 of 39 races won by an odds on favourite, just three under $1.50.

I think the opportunities given to concession drivers all stems from the system itself, much like the MCR system you can actually use a concession driver to draw a gate , using a concession driver in the HWOE system you drop back a class but draw terribly , I dont think one track should be given credit for any of it, I mean pinjarra have put on a concession drivers race Monday if anything that's most likely the biggest promotion for junior drivers we've had so far

like I said about qld and perhaps even sa , there's nothing wrong with having to cut the industry back in order to regrow it , if harness racing is to survive you need to entice new participants and like you stated before from the cost of living is only getting worse and worse making it harder and harder to get these people into the sport and to even keep existing participants involved.
