    Do you think there would be any interest from people with horses for sale to work them between races or parade them in the home straight if they are not in work (or are competing in the next race)
    The semaphore board could post their details

    Would it create enough interest to fill the gap?

    (This thread is for tossing ideas around - don't be afraid to be wrong and if the majority think you are, just take it on the chin and go again)

    I did suggest about three years ago where all horses competing could have a sale price on if connections wish. Horses still run in races as programmed now and price amount or lack of price at all does not influence draw.

    In a T0 only trot three of the 10 runners are on the market. Interested persons can see the fields, review past replays online along with pedigree, then attend on raceday to view horse, watch prelim and purchase via current claiming process.

    A fixed percentage of the sale price is kept by the host club on the condition it is reinvested into stakes at that track.

    Just a thought, it has not progressed anywhere though
