R6 at Mildura tonight has me baffled
The race conditions include:
Restricted to horses which have not won any race with advertised stakemoney of $15,000 or more which have had at least 5 race starts at Mildura, Ouyen and Swan Hill since 30 March 2020 inclusive.
Now l like the idea of rewarding horses that have patronized the region but why should this race be worth $15k?
We are 'granting' a $15k win to a horse that has not been good enough to earn it under normal circumstances
