Hi All, firstly i would like to state that this is only my opinion and i may be the only trainer who feels this way or perhaps there are a couple of others thinking along the same lines.
1... I believe that the mass breeding and horse creation is having a negative impact on the game. Reasons are that horses have absolutely no value anymore, because every week scores more are bred or created and the top 10% of these generally go past what was the leading horses. eg today i may have the best 2yo colt sprinter but next week 4 or 5 better horses may be bred or created that go past it.
I believe the easiest and fairest way to stop this mass proliferation in season is to only allow yearlings to be bred. Then all horses would be on a level playing field. I would also like to see mares only have 1 offspring per season. Will (imo) push values up significantly and gives all stables the chance of having the top horses. As it stands now if someone else has a top horse all the guy the biggest wallet needs to do is breed,create,breed,create until he gets one to go past it.
I know on face value this will not be too popular but if you take some time to consider it i think you will see the benefits
2....I would like to see divisional races in claimers as well as allowances. Too many times i see former champion geldings making their way back through the claiming grades and dominating at the expense of the genuine claiming horse who has only won 1 or 2 races. I would also like to see penalties apply in stakes races for wins in these races during the season
Thanks for reading and happy for admin or other trainers to comment,.
