IMO the prizemoney increases are a Godsend for the industry in NSW. The poor old trainer is on the job 26 hrs a day (if you include the sleepless nights) and deserves every cent plus more. I thought the announcement might have been premature but its out there now. No matter how much the prizemoney increases tho', there will always be someone after the quick or easy buck, sad part of human nature. But while the bigger bucks are available there will be more participants chasing them. Has there been any announcements on funding increases for swabbing?
