Win your first 3yo, you are a 3C1. Win your 2nd 3yo you are 3C2. Win your third 3yo you are now 3C3 and C1. First two 3yo wins don't affect age class.

Sorry your missing the difference between what it was to be a 3 year old when they were a 2:30 class, win your 1st 3 year old you were a 2:29 class, win your 2nd 3 year old you were a 2:28 class. Turn 4 years old you were classed as a beginner or a novice which was a 2:28 class horse which is the same as a C0 class horse today. But now a day if you won 1 or 2 C class races as a 3 year old you are not eligible for a C0 only class race. Under the old system that I'm talking about you were. Theoretically you could win 6 races as a 2 year old and 2 races as a 3 year old and when you turned 4 years old you were then in what is today a C0 only.

Is tonight's Newcastle Mile program supposed to be NSW's Metro meeting for this weekend? One $75k race but all the rest only $6k races.

No, normal country meeting at Newcastle. Pretty ordinary isn't it.

Said it in the other thread on the NM. Last year they ran heats of the Baby Bling ($22k) and Smoken Up ($22k) plus the Mile. All the rest were $6k that night.

I remember that now Rob but clearly I did not digest it - I'll blame it on my Victorian allegiance

The rest of NSW need to watch out or SA might go past them re: prize money (excluding Menangle).

Good money at Menangle tomorrow night.
Metro races are now $5k more than Melton ie 30% !!
(not sure about the last however - it cannot be a real M0)
and Career Class are $2k more ie 20%
