Hopefully they tweak the rules a bit for next year to prevent no-hopers highjacking the vote. They should impose a much higher minimum rating.

Let me put a case forward for you guys to vote for my horse Amphitrite.
Went from mdn to G1 in 4 starts last campaign and was desperately unluck in the g1 empire rose, the oaks was a step to far, williams pulled her up as a precaution.
She still had a massive amount of improvement to come, she has been at the beach building muscle, set to trial on tuesday.
The Autumn Sun Vs Amphitrite 13th Oct Guineas wins, TAS covered 1625m Vs Amph 1624m, TAS 1:35.58 Vs Amph 1:35.67, TAS On Speed Vs Amph Last, TAS 56.5Kg Vs Amph 55.5KG, TAS Eased losing a couple of metres in the run home Vs Amph SUBJECT TO A MID RACE SLOW DOWN. That would suggest there is not much between them.
In the same race the year before, off the back of the same pace for the first 1000m Amphitrite went home 4 lengths quicker.
People also worried about the field being garbage, i agree to a point but I would happily have 5 of the top 10 + 4 wildcards, dont be surprised if something out of the top 10 drops out to injury, it happens all the time.
For a free hit at $250k give Amph a vote.

Just saw on twitter that the 4 wildcards will be based on prizemoney and doesn't have to be nominated for the race. Would be funny if 4 average Hong Kong horses who have won millions decided they wanted to run.
Reliable source? Might be time to shop around for Happy Clapper's best available odds...

I think Heath has completely misunderstood this tweet - would suggest NOT JUST GOING OUT AND BACKING THE HIGHEST PRIZEMONEY EARNERS
Greg Carpenter tweet just says the Wildcard can come from anywhere - they don't have to be nominated. He isn't saying they are based on prizemoney.

Step 1. Trainers nominate
Step 2. People pick
Step 3. Top 10 decided
Step 4. If any top 10 pull out 11th, 12th etc take their spot
Step 5. Carpenter selects wildcards. Could be anybody and not necessarily from nominated horses eg Winx could be selected as long as they accept.
Step 6. Four emergencies are the four highest earning prizemoney from those originally nommed in Step 1 (as long as trainers still accepts)
Step 7. Race
Step 8. Grunt wins

no hes not
He is the one who implemented the weight penalties for the Caulfied/Melbourne Cup which were removed.. (in writing but i bet not practice given last years (non) penalty for best solution.
He has no grip on how good Australian horse racing is either. We have had good handicappers in the past, he is not one of them

au contraire. i am the only one who has a good grip. A good handicappers job is to try and make sure all horses go over the line at the same time. Carpenter panders to the overseas horses and rates ours too highly, hence we get the 2nd rate Euros dominating our staying races.

Not withstanding your posts on his handicapping prowess, or otherwise, he actually really knows his racing.
Whilst I have different views on some of his handicapping, his knowledge, is superior to most.
Actually three of greatest people in racing knowledge are Greg Carpenter, Jim Bowler, the late Kevin Ryan.
All chief handicappers for the VRC / Racing Victoria.
That’s my posts point, just on racing knowledge.
Not about weights given or otherwise.

I will give you Jim Bowler and Kevin Ryan, but a handicapper is supposed to make racing more even. Greg Carpenter does not do that. I know that the compression of weights does cause some of these issues but there are ways to fix this. Also i think the benchmark system is an abomination. It just causes all these problems with fixing races as you can run dead and go back in class whereas the previous system worked well for so many years. I am pretty sure he was the reason it was implemented
we did things so well in Australia up until 20 years ago, since then we have adopted world wide practices and made our racing worse, whereas Japan copied our racing systems and is thriving.
