I'll say it once again and I'll KEEP ON SAYING IT until those in the driver's seat tune in and understand.
In 2009/2010 season we produced just under 5,200 live foals here in Australia. Approximately 2,600 of those were fillies who will duly get a shot at 6.6% of the total races carded, all but ensuring that they're either not going to be tried or if they are then they'll be pushing shit up hill to be viable racing propositions.
Until such time as we make BETTER USE OF HALF OF THE FOALS WERE ARE ALREADY PRODUCING instead of trying to breed another 500-1000-1500 more foals than we are at present...and then NEGLECTING 250-500-750 OF THOSE IN THE VERY SAME FASHION AS WE CURRENTLY NEGLECT HALF OF THE FOALS WE PRODUCE...then any efforts to increase foal numbers is seemingly just for the sake of doing so. All we will effectively do is INCREASE THE APPALLING LEVEL OF WASTAGE/LACK OF RACING OPPORTUNITIES that we currently preside over.

As I said before...LET THE FILLIES THAT WE BREED NOW FILL THE FIELDS.
WRITE THE GOD DAMNED RACES FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
