    Move the Perth Cup to April WFA 2000 M put a million up the best in Australasia will come

  • thefalconthefalcon    20,484 posts

    yeah...great idea, right in the middle of sydney's autumn carnival.... =))

    puntingtragic indeed....

  • PuntingTragicPuntingTragic    1,141 posts
    April is more than two days maye have it after Sydney at least it would get a better field than a bunch of goats

    Anything would be better than that disgrace Perth Cup more like Perth Schmucks

    Give the Sydney runners a shot at a million dollar consolation race in the west

    Move the Perth Cup to April WFA 2000 M put a million up the best in Australasia will come

    $1M for the Railway Stakes, no other Gr 1's on at that time, and they can't attract quality Gr 1 horses ! They have been doing that also for years, so what makes you think that money alone can change a mindset about coming to Perth ?

    Further reducing the 'Cup' down to 2000M only denigrates the already low standard of the race. To do so would further abandon all of the history of the event.

    Which probably means it is likely to happen.
  • TheDivaTheDiva    13,248 posts
    maybe moving back towards the Carnival / Railway would be smarter. Keep new years day for the party goers.

  • thefalconthefalcon    20,484 posts

    Mmmm, maybe but where would the million come from and the race would have no group status.

    agree about the cup being a non-event  BUT, its the best cattle we can produce.

    Perth Cup is one of the lowest GR races in Australasia

    I do t know the solution but they need to change something it's a dud race for the New Year's Day crowd as a racing event it's jumped the shark

    None of us can change it why can't we create a top WFA 2000 m race in its place its called been progressive no one rates the Perth Cup no one

    Some-one please define quality G1 horses :-? -
    what distance? -
    do they have to win a G1 to be classed as quality? -
    if so how many G1's to so be called quality? -
    do we pick each G1 field to pieces and make our own judgemnt to our perceived standard of quality in that particular race and then rate the horses? - so a placing in a so called quality G1 then gives that particular horse a rating as a "quality" galloper.
    That is of course after we have taken barrier draws, weather on the day, track condition , the colour of the winning hoops sisters best friends dress for the day,  luck in running etc into consideration

    And I assume that to get a field of 16 over 1200 then you would need at least 50 horses rated "quality" ( injury , spelling, interstate etc etc)

    and another 50 rated "quality" for 1600

    and another 50 rated "quality" for 1800 and above.

    Throw into the mix the different timings of each states carnivals then we would need a pool of approx 550-600 "quality" G1 horses to make each and every G1 run a "quality" race.

    Keep putting racing down here and wtf would anybody bother investing in the industry [-(

    What ever way you slice an dice it the Perth Cup
    has become a joke race re the lack of depth an quality

    Three quarters of the noms could not run 2400 down a well

    It's just a party day with a good prize money race with some ave horses going round in what really is a lottery

  • thefalconthefalcon    20,484 posts
    why would sydney horses come over, don't they have a christmas and summer cup that are worth tasty $s?
  • tonytony    2,436 posts
    Falcon
    They are worth a bit, Summer Cup I think is same as Villiers which is $175k.
    If money was the issue I would have thought $500k in Perth is worth looking at.
