As long as your reduce points at the same time -
I wouldn't unless desperate with no other options. As Freda says with the current handicapping system and limited weight spread they would generally be no chance. -
No reason why they can't reduce stakes based on runners, surely 5 young ones running for 5 grand is better than trialing for nothing or simply staying at home. Plenty of times to race for more as numbers rise after winter. -
I would, but the compressed handicap system we have means the low rated horse can't really get a suitable pull in the weights. Also, your rider options are limited too. I had a one-winner that I had toyed with putting in the 75 2600 at Riccarton. But, she had to win at Ashburton to justify [in my mind] the start, and my preferred rider would have had to cut his legs off. -

The Valley honours former star Imperatriz with Cox Plate day race www.theaustralian.com.au The Moonee Valley Racing Club will honour a retired star with a race named in her honour on Cox Plate Day. The Imperatriz Sprint (1000m) will be run for the first time at October’s Cox Plate meeting, which will be the last at The Valley before the course’s demolition and redevelopment. Laurie Sainsbury - Last 28 Days • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet’s team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The race will replace the day’s existing 1000m open handicap but prizemoney will rise from $150,000 to $200,000. Imperatriz won her five starts at The Valley, a record that included four of her 10 Group 1 triumphs. The Mark Walker-trained mare won the last two editions of the William Reid Stakes as well as the Manikato Stakes and Moir Stakes in 2023. Imperatriz also won the Group 2 McEwen Stakes (1000m) at The Valley. Imperatriz won four Group 1 races at The Valley, including the last two editions of the William Reid Stakes. Picture: Racing Photos via Getty Images The mare also holds the 1000m course record at The Valley, clocking 56.47sec for the journey. Yulong Investments bought Imperatriz for $6.6m at a broodmare sale in Queensland. Imperatriz is in foal to Group 1-winning stallion Pierata. • No Kimochi but plenty of class in William Reid entries Meanwhile, Saturday’s meeting at The Valley will be an 11-race card after the addition of the postponed Yarra Valley Cup. Rain forced the postponement of the Yarra Valley Cup from last Sunday with the race to be run over 2040m at The Valley. The Yarra Valley Cup will be run as a Benchmark 100 Handicap and will carry $125,000 in prizemoney. Final acceptors for the original Yarra Valley Cup will receive preference in the ballot for Saturday’s race.
