I look at the Melton card tomorrow and cannot help but think the horses in the R6 and R8 heats are being used ie putting on the show/providing for the punter, for less than they should be
The races are for $4.5k to get into a $7k final
All of them raced in $7k or more races at their previous start, 3 of them winners and yet here they consent to go around for $4.5k
The harness industry is an accepting lot. I cannot imagine cricketers or footballers consenting to run around for half pay every 2nd week
