Would have qualified 4 separate times.
2 LR wins
Gp2 win
Gp1 win
Yep min LR / Gp win in last 12 months to nom, prize money for top half of field finish
No, I just think a minimum BM, say 100 for mature horses and 70-80 for 3yo’s. Too many variables to definitely have won a race. Is 3-4 G1 placings inferior to a Sale Cup win? No it isn’t.
Have no problem with prizemoney paid til last but maybe stagger it so last only receives about 10k or something so they can race for something. I dont really want more wildcards either as it defeats the purpose of the race.
I said it before and will say it again. have 3 more all "star" races and call them "all ordinary" over 1200 1600 and 2000 for a million dollars restriced to horses between 55 and 75 ratings. You will get horses nominated from all over Australia and heaps more entries cos they will avoid the big race and you will get the poor folk dream of winning a million dollar race. It will make the day huge.
truenah, too big a syndicates will dominate.
fwiw Azkadellia 4yo autumn mare would have been ineligible under the bm90 rules. that was the first horse i checked so im sure there will be more.
actually i lie she may have been re-rated to above in the Myer.
Thats a good ideaJust have people vote their top 10 instead of 1. That may I will also vote for Hartnell, Alizee, Happy Clapper etc so those good horses will still get plenty of votes rather than having to choose just one. The good horses will end up with 50,000+ votes while Balfs Choice, Urban Ruler etc will still be stuck on 9000 and even your Land of Plenties and Le Romain will end up on 20,000+ votes. You still maintain the concept that it is voted for by the public.

What I'd do next year.
1. Increase number of wildcards. Keep selected horses at 10 but increase wildcards to 6 making 16 horse race.
2. Restrict prizemoney down to 10th.
3. Increase rating to 90 for mature horses. Keep at 70 for 3yo.
Voting for 10 horses would be a pain in the ass and completely waters down your favourite
How about each voter gets awarded 365 points they can allocate to 70 horses with each horse attracting no more than 99 of those votes.
Too simple. Needs to be more complexHow about each voter gets awarded 365 points they can allocate to 70 horses with each horse attracting no more than 99 of those votes.
