New Stake rule

Recommended Posts

Just a quick question.

 

With the new stake rule that came out at the start of the month does anyone know if it affects the downgrading of the dog or not?

 

As of the 1st February any dog that comes 4th gets $50. To me that is a stake payment which to me would mean they don't downgrade meaning you would now have to come 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th to down grade or is it still if you don't come in the final 3 you still have the downgrade after how ever many misses it is.

 

A few trainers think it means you don't downgrade & a few of them think you still do.

A very easy question to answer, if the rules are adhered to.

58.1 Any Greyhound graded C2 and above which has competed three consecutive times in sprint/middle distance grade Races without receiving Prize Money for running 1st, 2nd or 3rd on one of these three occasions shall be downgraded one class.

Is that out of the new rule book or the old one? If it is out of the new one then it still wouldn't answer the question as the rule book would have been sent to the printers before they decided to make the new stake rule..

Rule 58.1 in the new & old rule books are identical.

New Rule Book = 58.1 Any Greyhound graded C2 and above which has competed three consecutive times in sprint/middle distance grade Races without receiving Prize Money for running 1st, 2nd or 3rd on one of these three occasions shall be downgraded one class.

 

How can that not answer the question. It clearly states 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

If you receive prize money for running in 4th, that is not winning prize money for running 1st, 2nd or 3rd, is it?
