When clubs raced for $5000 the extra 2k made it a race worth aiming for, now it becomes just another race like the rest of the 7k ones each week in my opinion.

Perhaps they should have been made 10k, though the argument would be that you might struggle to get a field at Horsham for 10k!

They still deserve a chance to run a good quality race though, like the other "smaller" clubs.
