After a three year old has won 2 races they automatically assessed as a 3C2 CO.and there are very limited races programmed for them. They have nowhere to go except into C0 races and C1 etc if they win further races. Many owners have complained about racing 3 year olds coming through but where do they go ? As a consequence 3 year olds are barred from many C0/ C1 races with the restriction ; 4 year old and older ; further adding to the angst and frustration of owners attempting to race their young horses. There was a comment earlier about Sheez All Rock racing in a C1 . She would have needed a hit out before the Oaks heats , again I ask where else would she go

Another one last night

http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...ic#BNC20041806

But I received an interesting email pointing out that this race with Higherthananeagle paying $1.04 and $1.01 fixed, $1.04 and $1.00 tote had the biggest Win and Place pools of the meet!

The poster wondered whether it could be because some preferred TAB customers (based on how much they punt) get different prices to the rest of us. Maybe 5% higher than us. So could that be the answer - they get a nice little 5% return on these races when the rest get nothing

ps Also heard that Lenny may have been going around last night but the noms fell over once he nominated

Are the pro's manipulating the system?
