Group 1 placed following it and was a winner at listed and Group 3 level over there since, even The Cleaner went back there and has performed well.
Fuchsia Bandana another whose form has been good since the Railway and has hardly put a foot wrong but hey I'm the one who's being selective, now that's funny Damien,
Don't ever accuse me again of being selective in my journalism as you have zero idea about what you're talking about when it comes to my journalism and the research I put into it mate.

pretty sure it's a long time since the railway field met the requirements necessary to warrant the G1 tag.
i don't know how they keep it thus, as it must mean breaking the asian pattern rules.
it is not just wa that is kidding itself in this regard either.
I would have thought everyone knew that.

Unproven horses going to stud is robbing Australian racing of our future greats, funny how
racing on as an older horse didn't seem to do Lonhro any harm.

The example was to illustrate a wider distribution of stakes money, so that more WA Racing participants can profit from those increases. How about a $25,000 Maiden every fortnight to open each Saturday meeting ? Maximum fields and maximum distribution.
Half a million is enough for a race that is not a real Group 1, many Gr 1's around the nation are run at that level of stakes money as it is, and they are not class deficient.

Get the Welters Back

the welters when they were last held were the equivalent of 80+ ratings races.
then there was regular 86+ at 3kg stronger than the welters and the stakes races started at about 3 -3.5kg stronger than that at about the equivalent of 92+ or 93+ unscaled.
now the pg4's are struggling to get decent fields off a base rating of 90, and the next regularly run class is a 72+ a whopping 4 kg inferior to welter class and even the odd 78+ is inferior to welter class too.
no wonder your racing over there is fu..ed.
one day they(rwwa and their racing department) will wake up from their self inflicted coma, but it will be too late.

Take your breeders hat off for 5 seconds and it might help.
Its breeder who have systematically destroyed WA racing, we have no feature staying races during the winter which used to be a highlight of the winter racing programs so therefore no reward for owners who are actually patient and want to breed and or race a stayer rather than a quick return immature 2yo who is effectively finished by the end of their 3yo career, I have a bit of time for the long term welfare of horses, do you???
The current system is a joke there is absolutely nowhere to go for horses that are just open class and can no longer earn competing in that class ,and I wholeheartedly agree with someone who made an earlier statement that it was welters that used to cater for those horses and enable to remain a viable racing proposition.
As for no idea I predicted several weeks out that your ageing team wouldn't make the GF and explained exactly why and that's what occurred, so I suggest you go back to the drawing board.

remember the saying "he's a great old welter performer"?
use to be the last race...when in doubt back the top weight.
it would not take much effort to bring them back...and call then a bloody welter!!
note to mr. hunter...carey will give you a hand if you get stuck?
ps he probably does not know what a welter is.

he actually said that to me via twitter, fair dinkum what more evidence could one want that he is in hopelessly over his head.
just to put that in perspective the base weight for a male is 55, the base for a female is 53, but then he goes and puts a 54 limit thus ensuring the set weight he has for females will neve be carried, and they always have to meet the males 1kg worse off and 1kg more than the set weight.
and to make a mockery of that B U L L S H I T, the pretend listed 3yo 'stakes race' on saturday does not have that condition and the females actually do carry the 53, thus further proving how he has fu..ed the joint.
i know i should not make it personal, but he makes my blood boil, with his ineptness.

But its not restricted to us that was the worst Caulfield Guineas in years and apart from the winner and perhaps one or two others heading towards the Derby and the same goes for the Epsom apart from the winner Winx.
Everything else that is not SW or WFA is SW&P :-?
but the conditions of the set weight penalty races are farcical.
