Jedi Mind will turn 14 on January 1 and won't be eligible to start in anything. He has had 14 starts this year for 1 win, no placings, collecting $2,250 for his win. Hardly robbing the bank and not the reason that HRV is bankrupt.. Furthermore, you …

re NR - think that in the current format that it will prove unpopular with the fraternity mainly because of one key difference and that is horses starting on 50 when the minimum is 30differences - 2yos under hwoe receive 25% penalties - under NR th…

No, a decent question. Not entirely sure, will find out on Sunday but David Goulden, Brett Postans, Dennis Dale off the top of my head. Not sure how many train from Gloucester Park. Kellerberrin trainers with starters at Kellerberrin Dennis Dale -…

Some of the 'travel time" data presented as potential occupational health reasons to close some tracks is a bit mischievous, or maybe that's not the word, but taken with a grain of salt at least. I'd suggest the time for Barry Howlett or Aiden DeC…

Harness share of overall turnover around 10% and falling (Source: Industry Status reports), return on stakes paid versus revenue running at under 40 cents in the dollar (Source: Industry Outreach Forums 2023) (37.5 cents in the dollar for GP (metro …

See this is kind of the problem and human nature, when we had the old MCR everyone complained about that and wanted it changed, now it’s changed everyone wants to go back. If we then went back eventually everyone would complain about that again…

could have been entered for the L5/7 at Pinjarra where the L8+ horses couldnt start could have been entered for the L5$LT$8000 at GPC all of which have pref draws to even the fields up we got a ballot from two races last week at Northam after finis…

Is this one of those preference 40k races?If so every of the lower class horses will be classed as L10 and the barriers then will be rbd for all horses up to L10. Similar to country races in this respect when a horse competes in a race for high…

I agree that reducing meetings and as a result reducing the footprint of the industry will have and has had a negative impact it nevertheless seems a stretch to imply that the industry participants mentioned have stopped breeding or being involved b…

how times have changedmy father liked a bet and was a very good trainer - his saying was if he went out of his way to tell you to back his horse you would get the truth but if you asked you could be told a lie - he did get 12 months ith Oros Flash a…

question why does NR start on 50 and allow horses to drop to 30 when the following seems to be more logical starting at 30 and adding win points only until reaching 50 with 50 after that being the lowest to which a horse could drop 30 would be a m…

jay jay - you started with triroyale brigaade Sarge - foritudo both on 30 points and $100k earners lotakevi - my ultimate romeo - krafty boy all L10+ and on 39 points only 189 horses -would be interesting to know how many high earners are on …

aussieI agree that more protection is needed mostly as a result of 25% and 75% penalties under NR 3yo+ take 100% and 2yos effectively 50% penalties and I think they have that right two sets of rules for Lt$4k and LT$8k - think the logic behind this …

I mean Cam Brown, the current general manager I believe it is, did help create the NR system over there so was always a chance of happening, but if you talk to the people in the eastern states they hate the NR system as much as we hate the HWOE syst…

you want community meetings and country horses to go to GP but would you go to Albany if they were community meetings or would you race at Pin and GPM

murrihy sums up the NR problems well on pages 44-45-46 Yes, he does indeed...the 'pyramid' analogy is very good. And it applies to our HWOE system as well, with too many dropping back...the "drop back on steroids situation".....which has been evid…

3yo only get penalised 75% :)), should be zero 2yo only get penalised 25%, should be zero They did this to reduce the long odds on shots in 3CO and COs, they is more long odds on shots under HWOE and they get on their mark in record time. NR 3yos t…

adding to arapaholevel 9 is pretty much the equivalent of an M0A horse winning 8 races at Pinjarra would have HWOE of $36,000(level 8)A horse winning 13 races at Central would have HWOE of $38,987 (level 8) both still eligible for the L7/9 GPM on…

Can complain about the system as a casual observer, Northam $L5,4000 having horses the like of Euston Flyer 19 wins nearly $140k, The Lightning Strike 12 wins $112K (I think a good thing in the race) drawn inside multiple 2 and 3 career win horses. …
