I think there should be more of a sliding scale for stakes. For a 35 - 45 rating race say $6k minimum. For up to rating 49 say $9k, and for 50 rating & above 12k min. We have plenty of horses in that lower bracket and if they were racing in Aussie or USA horses of that quality would be lucky to be racing for $5k. Let’s put more into the intermediate horses to encourage them to stay here & hopefully get better races & fuller fields in the grades where we are low on numbers. That’s my thoughts anyway.
