Be that as it may Zipper, it is still 3/4's of a million that we could use for other much more constructive purposes.
If they want to spend an extra 750 gorillas then flick it this way & let me take care of it. I'll get the job done for a heap less, much more effectively, and whatever's left over I'll put towards my retirement fund. I'll end up line balling with the weight of cash in Colonial Mutual's Super Funds before you know it.

I'm not disputing that it is money that may be better spent. I'm just saying that the article is typical propaganda to draw more attention to a particular issue.

Although given the current state of affairs a greater investment was going to be required regardless. As you say lets just hope what investment that is made delivers the greatest return!

How about some kind of breeding scheme? Mares who win races get that 3/4 of a million to use at stud later on in their career. Haha.

[VVV] Yeh, that's fair comment too. It's just that when I see ridiculous things like this being proposed I jump all over them for all I'm worth because they have a terrible habit of growing wings and flying. In this field, more money does not neccessarily = greater effectiveness. What equals greater effectiveness is better/tighter/honest process and the development of a smarter/more targetted/better aimed/better timed testing regime. That does not need 3/4's of a million to achieve. Money will need to be spent but not anywhere near that.

I think we are in violent agreement, you just know more than me about what it might cost to put such systems in place.
