@MCYeeehaaa@ChelmsfordCRC@arenaracingco In the short term sounds great but is a further monopoly on the aw programme what British racing needs? With no competition what will the prize money levels be like 2 years down the line?
@BenHaslamRacing Breeders premiums. Perhaps a high premium rate up to when they've earned 15-20k in such. Then there's an incentive to breed, and get these horses racing. Not dissimilar idea to gbb bonuses though they run out at 100k. Make an incentive to breed and get them racing.
@p2p_alex@quevega Particularly novice sellers/claimers. Give the smaller owner a chance of winning a race before being handicapped. If I was king for a day a whole raft of 30k ish tag novice claiming hurdles would be my first move. Let the Irish Point winners take each other on at Newbury instead.
@RacingPost If I was the @RacingPost I'd look at the lack of interaction with this post and realise that perhaps it's time to stop force feeding yet more retirement rubbish.
@Rhys_N_Williams Nearly like they knew their market that well they were exploiting the 1st Oct rule. I seem to remember that it used to be that they could have run in no other race over obstacles other than Junior NH hurdles. Perhaps a tweak
@HoskinsSam Firstly forget beginners, make them all novices. Why preclude some of the (small already) pool of horses from running?
Secondly, demand must be greater than supply. For instance in Ireland.
@alanjohnsy@thebedfordfox@RacingPost Google the name of the horse followed by "racingpost." Link straight away. I never use the search function. Tend to find the same name born in 1976
