    HRNSW Conditioned Racing

    We are one month in to the new season. Is HRNSW's new conditioned racing working?
    No doubt that creating more competitive racing (and therefore less odds on favourites) should create better punting options and any method that can help do this deserves consideration. However does this work the opposite of what a trainer is paid to do - place each horse where it has the best chance of winning?
    Is there any middle ground that can help balance this out?
    Is it too early to tell?
    Does or has anyone got the stats to show if turnover is up and the average starting price of the favourite?

    Norm at this early stage it's hard to give any real answers to those questions...however....ANYTHING that assists in revitalising our game is good by me, and that includes excluding certain participants that bring the "game" into disrepute. Personally I despise people who think they are bigger than the game and should get preferential treatment....NOT a fan of elitists.

    Cheers,
    Dan.

    You would think that HRNSW would have an eye on the early figures. It would be good of they could publish them with a comparison for the same period for the last 1or 2 years.

    Thanks Adam, sounds like if we can hold our breath long enough they maybe perhaps might get the air hose connected again. Not sure about fields being full I keep getting text messages to say fields have been extended

    Would have been nice if Mark Reid had said that HRNSW are going to consult with stake holders to see if they have any suggestions.........

    I thought it might be interesting to see if the Condition racing was helping the hobby trainer. For this example I chose a nice guy, known to many, no superstar trainer or driver for that matter but loves the sport. Peter Clark from Menangle Park and his horse Village Rebel. Whilst still a maiden after 15 starts, the facts are interesting.
    In the last 2 months of last season (July.August) Village Rebel had 5 starts with earning of $620.00
    In the first 2 months of the new season with Conditional racing, Village Rebel has had 6 starts earning $2,850.00

    Every meeting in NSW this week had to extend nominations to get a meeting. Don't know anything about this horse but connections would be happy. Really need to have some idea of field class, mile rates and number of horses in races.

    Very poor metro meeting today at Goulburn.

    nearly none and you can guess why
    After listening to media centre in a recent thread the whole thing sounds wishy washy with no firm program as such. No system will be liked by all. I must have been reading the wrong papers if they thinks they have full fields OPSM for me.
    Still getting the fair share of odds on favourites. I hope to have a horse racing in December then it will be up to my trainer to find a race for him 4YO first starter.
