As Kyle asked in another thread "...where have all the $10,000 races in the country gone?" From memory the split up under the tiered system saw 400 10K races proposed, obviously about 8 per week and was it mainly/only Friday and Saturday meetings, and yep, country meetings having most i.e. if Melton metro was Friday, the Saturday country meeting would be 10K and if Melton raced Saturday the country Friday meeting was 10K. Can see how that adds up to 400 races.
So, other than offering more opportunities with the Supp races, which I'm not against, the million $ deficit forecast is being clawed back by the Supps instead of 10K races?
