From a punters perspective I would say the new system is working based on the amount of 10 to 1 plus pops that have been coming in over the past 8 to 10 weeks.
My only concern however is the absence of the Bond camp in this time (don't know why and none of my business) and now we are seeing the Hall team starting to dominate again maybe as a result. However most of their winners and placegetters are returning good odds at the moment.
As we all know good returns encourages punting which increases turnover which benefits everyone. So as both past trainer driver and owner I'm not too phased about what system is in place as long as it works for the benefit of the industry.
I have been a critic of RWWA inaction for the past few years, however they have at least made a change and hopefully proven me and a few others wrong.
Let's hope the long shots keep coming in.
Maras Ace Man they bet $9.50 and $2.40 - tiny $5 e/w bet - 1st up for Micky G - wins its 2nd race in 100 starts by a cricket pitch - comes home 56 and a bit - it led - greatly aided by the track down their
The Oaks - the winner 4 bag the pegs - got a miracle split . The 3rd horse Triple Brie 150-1 ( ran 2nd at Wagin Frid night ) 3 back the pegs - came to outside in the straight . The last race 9 1 8 leader bebind leader 3 pegs - thus if your betting their - you have to bet to that pattern- the last race you could have gone to sleep till the home turn
However for excitement ( re the spectacle ) give me - eg Glens of Tekoa flashing down the outside and wins in the last couple of strides - thats exciting - not this pegs rubbish - nonsense - which is Bunbury to a tee
Not talking out of my pocket - only had about $20 of bets their last night - just for an interest

If he goes to the inside and only sprints for 20 like you said the winner goes straight thru and only has to pull1 cart out and still wins so I think your been a bit harsh.
Also horses normally sprint better coming out when they hard on the leaders back because that’s what they taught to do from day dot

$1.50 fave never in doubt, Emily rolls into a place - that's good - might pay a few hundred, but the fave was very short, and it was a 2,1 combo, plus only eight runners, goodness gracious, it paid 2.5k!

Jay Jay - according to my figures which I have been keeping since January 11th there have been 27 HWOE LT $3000 races programmed of which 22 have been run and five deleted - there were a further 7 restricted to mares and four of those were deleted but on three of those four meetings where the mares was deleted there was a LT $3000 race conducted at that meeting
Like yourself I also don't know whether or not people are voting with their feet
I would also like to see more communication and hopefully that may happen now that RWWA are getting people into positions. It shouldn't be forgotten that shortly after the handicapping system introduction that RWWA retrenched staff including the handicapper and some time later the racing manager took leave which one would assume left too few doing too much
There appears to be more horses winning at value but don't have figures to back that up

Opening race $4.20 from gate 1 - led, rated and never going to lose.
Then Glens Of Takoa - got him into the perfect spot - each way odds again - good work SS.
Cut Above - better than each way odds - bingo - he's done it again!
All up tote odds on the three winners approaching 104/1.

The well backed second favourite going to the pegs and pocketed - that was handy!
The quiet no move on the odds on favourite from the one out one back - that's even better!
Interesting event that first race.
