Default 3kg Apprentices on topweights

Since I posted my last article, have you noticed that in the four Saturday metropolitan venues that this category of rider has resulted in the following:
0-17, - did you get that!
Quite a few of these were favourites and I noticed that some form "experts" continually select this category of runner in their "tips."
I am only attempting to point out to serious punters that this category of rider should be eliminated in their form study or should be viewed warily.
The only exception I make is when a topweight is ridden by these 3kg boys when the runner has a history of jumping to the front at the start and leading.

Cheers.
