Without actually factually quoting he’s started favourite atleast 3 times in a metro race in the last couple of months but he’s going well below his best, also heard a very generous offer for him to the states was knocked back

My objective as a trainer is to maximise earnings for my owners if that means when they get to a high grade selling them on so be it good owners will re invest and replace that horse with atleast one other, no handicapping system will stop me selling horses ever. It’s a judgement to know when that time is to sell

- Scrap L5$ LT races bring it back to one system L (levels)
- Select fields at community and country tracks in ascending order to drive the higher FSP (field selection points) horses to Monday Pinjarra ,Tuesday Bunbury, Friday GP if balloted from Sat/Sunday
- Horses are Grouped in L(levels) formely HWOE or Aged Races the way the system is designed
- Use a mix of RBD ,PBD/ FSP to give both those with form or without an opportunity to draw well (maybe even a PBD NR could be used to combine the National ratings system )
- Simplify Descriptions of eligibility so the industry understands it (less is more)
- Balance out stake money so all maidens race for the same stakes (first win is critical and sometimes the only win for some ) and raise the bottom tier stakes there is no R (penalty free ) class racing anymore so we shouldn’t be racing for such low stakes no matter where we race in the country keep it more uniform country stakes and metro stakes and feature races
- Implement All of the Above to benefit the industry we have a good west bred series in place and epona breeding credits ,we have good stock of young drivers and trainers they will provide the horses and fantastic drives to entertain us
It seems pretty simple easy to implement and it will be effectiveRoyboy, VillageKid, Cant_Refuse, Arapaho, Gilgamesh likes this post.
So he can be heard.
Pretty sure JJ has tried the approach you are suggesting to no avail, just like numerous of us in the past have attempted.
If it’s a good suggestion maybe KH should approach JT and say thanks for your input at least.
That is all that is asked for.
The fact that this site is becoming a sounding board for decision makers is another matter.
PS my dealings with KH some years ago cannot complain, always willing to help clubs out.
May have been handed a basket case.

Couldn’t agree more about the $L5 races I think they’re brilliant and if you understand them and how to use them to your advantage they’re a great race to keep average horses earning, Thereugo is another that has played the $L5 races well
