10 Point merit rate increase 1 Aug 2019

It has been agreed that the Domestic Merit Ratings of all horses domiciled in Gauteng, KwaZulu Natal and Western Cape

Horses domiciled in the Eastern Cape will have their Merit Ratings increased by 5 pounds.
An Eastern Cape horse will be defined, for the purposes of the adjustment, as any horse domiciled and trained in the Eastern Cape that has had two of its last three starts in Eastern Cape.Zulu-Natal and the Western Cape will be increased by 10 pounds.

The same definition of what constitutes domiciles will be applied to horses based in the Northern Cape and Zimbabwe, but no increase will be implemented in the Merit Ratings of horses in those regions.

I cant wait to see how they work thru all Tobie Spies' horses.

He is 100% correct.

If you have a decent 2 year old and it wins a feature race it gets hammered 100 + no questions asked. Cliffhanger is a perfect example of this. 

The only race you can win is a Graduation and then you are left trying to get the horse dropped to its correct figure.

Needs addressed urgently.

They lost a lot of knowledge when Matthew Lips passed away. I am sure if NHRA sat down with the Subject matter experts from each province and the various racing programs they could find a solution.

Sally Arundel wrote on the subject very eloquently and should be heard on the subject.

Small horse population/ Less races/ lower stakes - These need to all be considered.
