This was NOT in any way intended to be a wide ranging paper addressing the Australian Harness Racing Industry as a whole & a reading of the HRA Panel's brief confirms same.
Did you send in your own submission with your ideas for their consideration?
They received somewhere in the vicinity of 1500 replies I believe.
On the proposed charges, it's not only on colts, geldings & entires (5k) each. It is also on fillies, only not quite as much (1.5k).
