I've heard trainers also gripe about being away for long periods involved with the ID and effecting their stables back home, so what do they do? Look after the good horse and it effects their other owners horses?
We might have had 'Joe Janiack' type trainers in Harness in days gone by with a small team, but fundamentally one outstanding horse, however now it's big teams, big numbers, hence trying to find a format that works for all.
The ID format proposed by Menangle is a complete and utter joke - disgraceful.
