    I just read a HRNSW release (via facebook so no link sorry) that Sushi Sushi has been given a special exemption because it was their intention to start.

    Now I'm all for Sushi starting to get the best possible field.

    But for this situation to occur shows it's just another muck up for the new format they want to call the Interdom. Just give up on this idea please.

    It maybe common sense but lets hope the "special exemption" is within the letter of the rules, which I freely confess I don't know in this case. Wouldn't want it to end up in court.

    .
    No matter how many times I read the series conditions I can find nothing concerning special exemptions. A wildcard entry is available determined by NSWHRC for a place in the final but the conditions relating to the heats are quite clear and no such exemption from the heats exists.
    My previous comment is from an update from NSWHRC to HRNZ with regards to the eligibility of horses who have changed stables and states since nominations closed..specifically Sushi Sushi and those horses trained by Tim Butt now based in Victoria. the update memorandum states that these horses are...quote.
    "eligible to compete in the NZ ht and possibly the NSW qualifying heat via the Hunter Cup...unquote...

    My understanding of that statement is contest the NZ qualifier or contest the Hunter Cup for a chance to get into the NSW supplementary heat. From the series conditions this heat is held open for entries from Queensland, SA and Tas where no home heats are being held. That ht will then be filled by those horses who contest the Hunter Cup....If Sushi doesn't contest the Hunter Cup he is at the mercy of those above in the order of entry. By not contesting the Hunter Cup he is effectively at the bottom of the list. s I say I can find nothing to meet any exemption from the ht conditions but feel free to point me to it. None of the links I have seen posted here point me there either.

    Tony you are correct as it stands but NSWHRC usually leaves a door open for themselves to change race conditions......happens all the time. Usually this gives them the chance to have the best compete in any race. Could be Wildcard or Directors invite etc. etc.

    Can't wait to see the official special exemption notice as Brendan posted. Then they will use rankings to get him in.

    Lucky that Sushi raced in NZ for a period or he may not have had a standing start in Vic and then there would be a problem.

    Said the intention of supplementary heat was to save NZ, Qld, WA horses not having to travel home if wanted to run in Hunter Cup. Not the horses or owners or trainers fault it got a cold when they wanted to run in Hunter Cup. Whats their alternative? Put the horse in Hunter Cup crook? HRNSW have applied the rule as per its intention I reckon. No dotting i's or crossing t's. Great job them.

    Interview about it here:

    HRNSW doing their bit to make sure the ID doesn't detract from the quality of the Hunter Cup field.
