I have always thought that its getting harder and harder to beat some of the Interstate bred horses compared to local WA bred horses running in midweek and Saturday races in metro Perth, so from time to time I will update this list and see where it finishes at the end of the season. I was prompted by the first two races today being won by Bob Peters horses and of course none of his are bred here. Prior to today, there were just four meetings held due to weather cancellations.
After four meetings 14 winners have come from Interstate matings and 18 from WA matings. There were a further two making a total of 20, but those races did not have a single Interstate bred horse to contend with.

Usually that is a criteria for me as well but the Foxwedge I bought in February was a nice Colt. But this isn't just about buying Westspeed, because a lot of these Interstate sired winners actually have the standard Westspeed attached as they were bred by WA interests. What I'm suggesting by running these numbers is that throwing more incentives at WA bred horses to win Saturday races is a false flag, as a hell of a lot of Interstate bred horses win Saturday's regardless of bonus scheme or not.

maybe for another day, that's more work again looking at the three year olds and those maidens 4+ then 1800M +

That's the +1 as there were no Interstate bred horses in that field.
