Thomass Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 ...if NZTR introduced this new rule of Racing NSW....and Bill Saunders and all of those olde world Trainers definitely would have been... Its about H&S these days.... Racing NSW has introduced new rules restricting the frequency a horse can participate in a New South Wales thoroughbred race. Three rules have been implanted on Tuesday and will be enforced from July 1. HORSES are allowed to race no more than five times during a 30-day period; HORSES are permitted to contest two races that are two clear days or less apart just once within a 30-day period; and HORSES aged two years aren't allowed to race on consecutive days. Racing NSW have added a further clause which allows them discretionary powers to reject any nomination or entry when a horse has a frequency of starts which, in their opinion, is considered detrimental to the welfare of the horse.

Chief Stipe Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Only serves to weaken the breed. Geez I remember the day when horses raced TWICE in one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
