General consensus is to reduce the schedule down to at least 36 races, maybe even 30 races a week, by removing or merging races.
Trainers can offer opinions and ideas here for the organisers to see, before they make a final decision.

I think such a schedule is a bit tight, should it be reduced?

Bad news when you don't know if the last post was AI or a player.....

Really?
Ok not a fan of 0-70 hcps, lowest rating is 45 so 0-80 should be lowest hcp race. I don't know the numbers of declared runners in the races so my opinion is pretty irrelevant but losing Ascot festival races seems drastic.

Love the way everyone wants to rip the arse out of the handicaps.......

More trainers are in the handicap group than anywhere else, its not rocket science, Group trainers really have to come to terms that the game is for all and group races will have to go, the minority have to except that the majority should get the bigger proportion of races.

As we have all said, if more people want to volunteer, more races could be had.

I agree, winning a group race is a dream as is winning a 1st week maiden. Don't care what level of race it is we just want to win a race. I've won some nice group races somehow but I know my place and am just as happy to win a nice handicap or even a low level handicap with a bad horse. I love it when a new player wins a race, in fact it's better than winning it myself if they beat me because I know how it feels.

If someone has the time just remove the lesser entered races over the seasons including the feature races. Without deeper access to TOM it's difficult to do.

As for volunteering I would run races if dropbox or an alterative was really free. I couldn't afford it 2yo ago so no chance now!
