As a general statement we don't have eliminations. However some races have heats/semis but horse not trying isnt a major problem. Only elimination type racing for Grand Circuit horses is in the Interdominion - our premier race in Australasia. Two (used to be three) rounds of heats and its based on a point system - so higher you finish the better. In the old three heats version if a horse won their first two heats then in the third heat they may have got a soft run but because there is only two rounds of heats nowadays you have to finish as close as you can so can't really give a horse an easy run. Plus our horses are tougher haha
