Stipes Asking The Right Questions
Yup, owners and punters have been separated by stakes and the regulators. Stakes are not attractive, in fact stats are shocking. Regulators have to make this bad economics race fair,, lol, in your dreams. Owners and small to medium trainers are at a massive disadvantage because stakes do not cover 92% of horses sold, and winning status only covers that much enthusiasm. They also do not have proper support of stipes when jockeys ride poorly or do not follow instructions. The trainer whilst planning a program for a horse is overridden by jockeys doing as they please, no wonder consistency for the handicapper is mucked. We need stronger

Information – Should Be A Priority
Unfortunately racing is tarnished, until the rand strengthens on a global scale, the racing industry will continue to face, what's seems to be trivial issues between racing figures of old and merit ratings, which have being proven to be inaccurate continously, and corrupt and inept people, and I transgress, where there is massive amounts of money in SA there is corruption, need we remind all and sundry the money spin off of Grambling of horses, even with

Judge’s Decision Is Not Final!
It was my horse that ended up 3rd - correctly so but the process was very wrong. If judge can be overruled that quick , maybe stipes should always give go ahead before announcing placings

Good, then punters will return to horse racing again! How many horses that ran a PLACE in the Queens plate received HUGE merit rating increases without actually WINNING a race. How many of these horses are now doomed! The future will

The easy "way out", and most fruitless comment pre race is, "We are hoping for a good run". Really!!!!
Surely all owners and trainers are hoping for a good

I share Mr Howells sentiments,the way barrier trials are implemented currently is confusing and inconclusive to say the least ,a classic example is third race at scotsville yesterday ,the drier trained horse was beaten 5,5 lengths in a barrier trail and wins beating his barrier trial conqueror convincingly, obviously a horse comes on with work and gallops ,but is it enough to turn around ,5 lengths in a space of 2 weeks ??, trainers will never be transparent ,horseracing is a betting game these days and in most instances trainers want to make sure their "connections" get the best price available ,there is alot of indiscretions in racing ,especially once bookmakers started getting involved with race and trainer sponsoships
