Probably only see Callan at busso, the other 2 get too many drives Friday nights at GP
The trifecta and first four massive of course.
Carryovers work wonders for pools, so why don't they do more guaranteed pool sizes?!! Say ok we guarantee 1k in the exacta pool - it's not a carryover or jackpot but if punters see 1k guaranteed or 8k guaranteed for trifecta or whatever - they start investing!
Don't worry Tabcorp - if done correctly you won't have to put a cent in, ( or very rarely ) it's not building a space ship - just commonsense.

Jackpots work. Guaranteed pool sizes - work.
Except for the time the Tab here guaranteed a certain amount for favourite numbers many years ago and it didn't get close and they had to foot the "bill". Apparently went down like a lead balloon on that occasion.
Decrease take out rates, get rid of rounding down and have guaranteed pool sizes, the tote would be going through the roof!
Or stay in the dark ages and let the corporate's take charge, whilst Tabcorp dabbles around with the new bet type of odds/even/split - maestros for thinking that one up. Although actually don't mind it haha. Takeout rate of just 6 or 7% - at least kudos for that.
The reason takeout has to be so small on that bet type is because there are only three possible results and a steeper takeout rate when there's less probabilities ( just like a three horse race ) means dividends are deplorable.

A trainer in the red and white colours, they battle away ok. Not bad away from the tapes either.

WA’s premier races for 2YO’s, the WestBred Classics, will be increased to $225,000 in the 2022/23 racing season.
RWWA made this announcement today to coincide with the start of the breeding season. Any WestBred colt, gelding or filly born in the 2020/21 season will be eligible to contest the $225,000 races.
WA’s WestBred Bonus Scheme supports and rewards the breeders and owners of Western Australian bred horses. A WestBred eligible horse is a horse foaled, notified, registered and branded in Western Australia.
For eligible horses a WestBred Owner and Breeder bonus is payable on any 2 or 3 year old race where the total advertised stake is less than $20,000 and where the horse is placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th.
A WestBred eligible horse sired by a stallion residing and standing in WA at the time of service will be eligible for the Double WestBred Bonus. A double WestBred eligible horse that wins a 2yo or 3yo race receives double the Owner and Breeder bonuses.
RWWA Harness Racing Manager, Kerry Hanks, said “The Westbred Classic 2YO Fillies and Westbred 2YO Colts & Geldings races were increased from $50,000 to $100,000 in 2013. This latest planned increase is part of RWWA’s WestBred Review.”
“Finer details and other outcomes of the Westbred Review will be released early next year.”
“The percentage split in stake money for the upgraded Westbred 2YO Classics will be varied to see 50% go to the winners of these races; the other 50% will be distributed to ensure a higher return for all placings, including those placed from 6th to last.”
“Breeders of the horses placed first to third will continue to receive the current Breeders Bonus of $5000, $3,000 and $2,000 respectively”
WA BOTRA President, Warren Robinson, commented he was pleased with the planned stakes increase and was hopeful the knowledge of the increased stakes would be an encouragement for people to consider breeding this season. He welcomed the change in stakes percentages.
WASBA President, Jeanine Diederich, also expressed support for the stakes increase and the change to the stakes percentages to runners in these races, which she believed would provide more encouragement to current owners and breeders, and anyone considering purchasing at the WA Yearling Sales. She commented it was a good initiative as part of the Westbred Review, with other changes from the Westbred Review also expected to be positive.

No idea where the race was likely to be funded from.

Pay's for the fish and chips that's for sure and a few fritters!
Nearly had a few bob a place Diamond Geezer ( Woodley ) but no, the 12 year old ran a cracker, and fell into third by an inch.
