Another programming cockup.

Winton Thursday, 2 2yo races scheduled, 2 noms in total, races canned, at least Wyndham have races with both sexes  combined programmed for next month, for what I'm seeing it's got worse since they changed the season to Jan 1 or is it just me thinking that ?

Add to that Winton have a 70000 2yo fillies race in April, for more than likely half a dozen runners if they are lucky, this ain't good business sense.

And of course one or two early birds will cream it, but as I've said before best to make hay while the sun shines, it can't be sustainable.

Addington had 2 noms for Friday’s meeting and was canned!

Going to take a helluva lot more than the Entain  bonuses to attract people to be breeding and racing 2 year olds.

Going to be a very interesting few seasons ahead for every sector of the industry without any doubt!

Better to spend on older horses, fix the handicapping and have better fields for rating 60 +

I think I'm correct in thinking nothing has actually changed regarding 2yo, shifting the seasons has only meant they turn 2 or 3 or 4 six months later than what it was, irrespective it seems numbers just ain'tthere probably the complete domination of some stables has put many off.
