some interesting comments on prize money.

Thanks for posting that. Makes me sad in a way that we don't have anything here resembling that kind of journalism and interviewing skill, let alone the informed opinion and insight of the interviewee.

Yeah, sadly nothing approaching the above podcast. 

What insightful comment,  thanks from me too for putting that up.

An outstanding interview (take note Trackside!). Could listen to Freedman for hours. Glad he brought up that they had a heap in their stable in their prime, but he is right - the big trainers are too big. And its wrong because no one can give 500 plus horses the correct attention.

Same situation occurs here but obviously on a smaller scale. 

Strike rate trainers with huge teams(owners and the public misinterpreting the correlation between training,  culling and winning) , expensive yearlings winning 1 or 2 races , money floating upwards with a  few scraps thrown to the bottom (of which the big guys go and get anyway) .

Fan boys thinking this is good for the sport.
