Wasn't this tiered system a trial ? When does it end because I think most would agree that it isn't working for anyone but the TAB and SKY.

Post 7 suggests it started somewhere around 18 months ago (Sep 2016).
I guess someone thinks its working or too frightened to suggest not.

Teecee,

Just another wholesome example of the numerous inept attempts by people of all sorts of questionable qualifications and ability to"help" harness racing. The game has just about been "helped" into it's bloody grave by a procession of well meaning morons and self serving industry advocates from my observations over the last 48 years.

Just read that article again. No way has it lead to more even racing and less odds on favorites ! We currently have the most uneven fields that I have ever seen. Especially with no standing start handicaps. And with the big stables raiding the cheap races I don't see many more battlers winning races.

I believe, here in Victoria, a couple of $ earnings handicapping proposals have been put forward.

All states are still working toward a national system?

Those odds aren’t my idea of fun

Does Vic have a general odds on problem or is it really just one stable?
