All of those horses racing tonight could have raced at Kellerberrin or Pinjarra with full fields and higher stakes.
Quality not quantity.

I think you mean the governing body the WAFC Marko not the WAFL which is the State Football League Competition, there is a stark difference.
Not to keen to go in for 5-10% and go on a Career long journey.
Sure there would be plenty of others in the same boat

Bottom line is under the current system they are just a memory and no longer viable.
If we were racing for 30.0k on a Friday night and 15.0k for a country race the floats coming from the east would be full and breeding would be worthwhile.
Trots or dogs can’t compete with racing, it’s not a level playing field. Stakes are driven by turnover but we are now in a situation where we simply can’t catch up and fall further behind every year as the funding is reduced due to a lack of performance.
It’s not a sound system (like introducing AFL to WAFL) and we all know what happened there.
Don’t see any RWWA racing ambassadors for the trots which makes me laugh.
Why is it always an attractive young girl and not a man?, bit out of line by today’s corporate standards.

1. The managing body that got the industry to the point it is today or when the handicapping system was changed.
2. The handicapping system itself.
If they listened to the participants (according to comments on this site) then they would revert to the national system.
Only problem is trots would still be operating under a body that’s run out of ideas and in my opinion only really wants one racing code.
