This is the problem with kiwi trainers/owners and others, they are whingeing before it has even started and in another country....total. Since when does anyone coming into another country have the right to complain about whats on offer?
Coming 2nd in races worth $120,000, whats the problem ? the horse is 3 y/o and won $260,000. Then coming over here and racing in the same class as horses who have raced against much lesser opposition here in Australia but will have won about the same prizemoney as it. This is where this system may fall down. A very good horse but trainers/owners still want the low hanging fruit not once but twice- in NZ and then over here.
If owners dont like the NSW system DM would be better off in WA with their new system being introduced where only wins are recognised regardless of who you raced against in NZ or NSW or any other place.
