Chrome Prince,

It is similar to the insular thinking which still pervades racing particularly in Melbourne. Specifically, in 2YO races with the recent debate about non-trialling of 2YO's which would give the public some idea as to the abilities of particular runners. Some participants in racing still believe that the owner(s) is entitled to "the first go" with their horses. Sorry to inform those people that once their horse accepts to race it becomes "public property" and all it's training and tactics should be freely available to the betting public. If they are prepared to accept the very generous prizemoney provided by the betting public then they should be free and open with their runner's chances with the same public which provides many of them a very comfortable lifestyle. It is quite obvious that some of these "media darlings" forget this fact.
This thinking is like something out of the "dark ages" and the participants should seriously reassess their outlook.

Cheers.
