What I proposed to the captains was for the restricted races ONLY, we would allow full fields ie a maximum of 30 horses.

I also proposed that we not worry about even numbers for the restricted races as it would do the captains heads in otherwise :)

I can't imagine that we wouldn't get more than 5 runners from each team.

This would pretty much guarantee all trainers having some representation without the need for any administration - TOM would handle it all.

If it gets too complicated, we'll lose interest.

If it's too hot Tim, move to Wellington :)
