Kenny,
I've copied and stored the original thread from when I first posted it.

Grub,

Rules 1,2,4,5,7 are original [not put up as is]. For the first year, odds were open to $7PP. I changed that because the $7 runners weren't paying their way. The price rules control Class. $7 runners were [usually] up in class too much, although they get up now and then at up to SP $15.

I included cups, stakes and group races when I put the system up because it was the start of spring. I have a personal prejudice against these races and 1000m. events except as fun bets. I don't think they payed their way long term, but it was more interesting. They can be included if you like [there my prejudices only], but I ignore them as 5/1 the field races mostly as anything can get up, look what happened to Candy Vale. I also added Dead tracks.

.......................................NO BRAINER........................................... ....

1. All meetings [except WA] No Hurdles, Maidens, 2yr. old races, Cups,
... Stakes or Group races. No Fillies and Mares races [Mares only OK].
2. Distances 1100m to 2200m only.
3. Add placings last 4 starts. Total must be no more than 9 [X, 0 or S =10]
4. Last start must have been 18 days or less.
5. Good Track only
6. Max weight 57kg after any apprentice allowances.
7. PP odds $2.50 to $6.80 from: www.watabonline.com
8. If more than one contender, choose the lower odds and if odds the same, choose lower TAB No.

NOTE* Newspaper PP odds can also be used but stick to the same source.

Feather has refined these rules to suit himself and is doing OK I hear. God only knows what his rules are now. Good luck to him I say.

Cheers.
