I'm not missing the point at all Jamie, connections obviously don't view the Menangle race as suitable for either their fillies or personal circumstances so they haven't nominated. I have indicated that amongst other reasons some owners may have avoided Menangle as they may consider the track unsuitable for their young fillies at this stage of their career. Where is the 2yo filly your paying for Jamie if you are so desperate to support these races?

I agree if they aren't supported then it is hard to justify programming them. If the message from connections is "not at menangle" then try programming elsewhere. Owners also need to be confident that there will be programming to suit these fillies beyond the 2CO stage, one win in a career doesn't go close to covering the costs of achieving it


As for Tamworth 15k is good prizemoney but only one horse wins the lions share. You are talking about a venue located on the edge of the harness racing envelope in this state which involves considerable travelling for many connections and they have excercised their right not to nominate. Obviously 4 saw it as a good deal for them.
