However, my reason for my opening post about this is that right now the heats are barely betting propositions as horses do not need to win and possibly want to win enough.
Another solution would be to make the heats worth more
Yes it can but happen but better to happen from randomness than to happen from getting a leg up.

Tough luck LIR got beat by the draw. Racing isn't fair sometimes. LIR V Tough Tilly RD5 or whatever we are up to will be a good selling point too.

Agree the heats can sometimes be a yawn fest but it isn't a reason to bastardise the finals.

Agree there should be seedings.
