By Venkat | 15-Aug-2020While the debate rages on this portal of whether racing will commence this month or very soon, I thought it would be a great idea to sart a thread on better practices that our racing clubs can adop---
1. We need to get rid of the primitive method of ascertaing the going. We need to consign the Longchamp method to the dustbin of history and adopt the going stick method of giving a better reading of surface conditions.The Stick is an electronuic equipment hat not only measures the surface condition but also the height of the grass round the course. Almost all clubs have up graded themselves except India and Lahore race club.
2. We need to adopt Hongkong racing's of having a minimum wins for all rainers during a season. In HK, a trainer must have a minimum of 15 winners during a season, failing which, his licence is withdrawn for the next season. This way, not only will trainers work owards winning of thir wards but it will also keep the shenanigans to the minimum and become punter friendly.
3. Have only tote in operation and I will not get tired of repeating that the on line system be maqde as robust as possible. Secondly, like UK, if bookies be allowed to operate, then they must sponsor a minimum number of races in the season. Thay have to become a part of the racing establishment.
Any views and suggestions please.
Cheers
