Agree with most of whats been said, a few of my own.
# Blow up Ludlow racecourse and spend the insurance money on new stands and better prizemoney for Hereford. Their ground has been top class all season and they deserve better racing.
# Ban Betfair and up the subscription to RUK, and make ATR £100 a month.
Perhaps people will then actually go racing and support their local tracks.
# Stop all this still claiming at 30 business. If they werent good enough to ride out their claim they never will be, go learn to be a farrier and let a promising up and comer have the rides.
# Have all bumpers on the AW, perhaps on the end of flat cards. Nothing worse then seeing young horses being hammered on very soft or very hard ground. Some big flat trainers are actively seeking out AW maidens for their 2yos – they know its a better introduction, jumping will soon cop on. Pro jockeys wont fancy Lingfield for 1 ride, so make them all for amateurs/conditionals.
# Ban amateurs over 25 from riding against pros. They are taking the bread and butter from jockeys struggling to get a living. Stick to ammo races or buy a pointer, simple.
