Been reported by the 5rph boys that the downgrade rule starts in September.
That was a few weeks ago so I assume it will go ahead.
Downgrade rule is as follows.
If a horse has had 10 starts in a grade without winning it will get a downgrade to the next class down.
Seems to be a very logical practible ruling if it eventuates.
I think too many horses reach a class and stagnate there
Horses in good form get to grades like the C5/C6 races when at thier peak
Sometimes the horses never reproduce that peak form and are stuck in a grade
The downgrade system works very well at the Greyhounds
Dunno who instigated the downgrade system but its a goodun'
In my opinion the new trots downgrade is a good innovation.
TROTTERS V PACERS
Bayman has a golden rule
Always risk a trotter v the pacers
I declared one a while ago to beat the pacers and it went abyssMAL
Tonight we have R8-7 WrekcOgnize v the pacers
Has been placed v the pacers in the past
But gotta admit Bayman is right they are a risk
Wrekcognize is $5-50 in the press, I guess I would have to lay it on Betfair if below those odds
