I have raised this before, the participants and administrators can't see the wood for the trees.
No incentive to buy a yearling in Australia.
That is in itself the main problem but NZ 3yos can win open aged races as their penalty frees.
Imagine a thoroughbred getting through the system like this. Our handicapping or should I say non handicapping of juveniles is making our product unappealing from a wagering perspective but whatever you do don't remove our penalty free races.
And he is not going to hot in them either
Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
