"There is no other racing game, that I know of, where you can't have a choice as a trainer or a owner for where you want your horse to race," Kahlefeldt said

I have to agree with him, we were told about 5 weeks ago we were put in the right eace by the handicapper because the horses form was weak, a 4000 dollar encouragenent so since he has won 1 and now its ok to be racing against a 3 year old that had won over 8000 in its previous 5 starts even though when we nominated it was no more than 1000 in last 4 and another 3yr pld that was a expensive purchase an trialed in 56.Thank god he wasnt well now its in the paddock!
Being a bit of a one-eyed Vic, I am only just starting to get the gist of what is going on up there. I would not race a horse if I did not have a say in where he raced. I can see that pretty soon the old pokies days referral to Vics as 'Mexicans' coming across the border will soon refer to Welshmen coming down to Vic to race their horses

The experienced trainer said the system was a disgrace and holds fears of the future of the industry with the current system.

Come on the system is working!!!!! full fields very competitve racing less odds on favourites . please give the system a go..............review quickly mr read and co. mr Kahlefeldt has got it right ..............Goullburn CO racing C4 c2 mare racing a C7 mare and only 6 horses in a 12K race yet they race for 4K at dubbo with bigger fields...........then $1500 races on melb cup day disgraceful! we are slipping backwards. Just send all your horses to Menangle Trainers and pay to watch them on TV. Fun Not !!! and for $1600 a month quoted by R.morris........price the hobbyist out of the business,

Although Bling just won albeit he's a top horse ,this handicapping system is so wrong. Having to face M2,3,4 & 5's for your 1st start back from a break for an M0 stinks........I have spoken to many & not one is in favour of it..........

C15. Third highest assessed horse at the meeting. Most prizemoney of any horse at the meeting. Fastest winning mile rate of any horse at the meeting. What handicapping system would he not have started in a race of similar strength? A system where we don't count 3yo wins so he gets to start against the C0s, where El Chango started $1.20 as it was.Although Bling just won albeit he's a top horse ,this handicapping system is so wrong.

Hi Brendan , I didn't even realize he is a C15, my mistake but regardless of who he is , how much he has won its a massive jump to metro class for a 4yo.
And the trainer has NO choice to what race he is in. That's my main point. And that stinks.
