Thanks for your feedback.
Kevin - agreed re the process of nominating a horse into a race without knowing the conditions. Let's call it a "blind nomination". As you're aware, this "blind nomination" process has been created to workaround the problem of racehorse numbers. Until racehorse numbers incr then I'm expecting this to be the process. Agree that many hate it.
Wayne - excellent post #12. agree - forget about influencing punters into getting excited about exotics.
Phil - sounds like you've felt the pain of being at the back of the field in a 12 horse race with no chance. Can someone show me the data that shows the betting turnover difference over a 12 month period of 12 horse fields vs 10 horse fields?
