G'day all,

If you're against this move like I am, suggest you get on the phone to your State Admin. and let them know your thoughts on the matter.
HRV have tried this on at National level on a number of occasions but it has been knocked back.
Now it seems they're shaping up to do an end run around the rest of the States and get fellow Victorian Andrew Kelly/HRA to do their dirty work.
Apparently they can't do anything about this until everyone meets in September but still, time is of the essence.
For mine, if the HRV Handicappers are incapable of adding a simple condition of 4yos+ to all of the C0-1-2-3-4 etc races that they are worried about the 2 x win 3yos dropping in and beating upon...then vacate the chair and give someone else a go who is capable of 4 simple strokes of their keyboard 4-y-o-+. It's not that difficult fellas, really. Give it a try.
