Pickel 45 Report post Posted April 22, 2020 I am told that on a Greyhound Facebook page there is a discussion regarding bringing back Nomination Fees. I am thinking that what they really want is for each trainer's first 10 or 20 noms per meeting to be Free, anything over that say $50 per nom. Surely this would get through an AGM with around 95% support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightman - you might still have a touch of concussion from your fall in the '84 Derby. There is a not-so-subtle point of difference here - 20 years ago everyone paid noms. The suggestion here is that a trainer's first say 12 noms at a meeting are free, and payment only required from number 13 onward. So it would be free noms for nearly everyone.

Galloping has just dropped them and also paying back to 14th We race for less money and people think we should pay nominations fees. That’s called sweepstake races.

It was more of a comment to freightman who seems to suggest that doing something that's been done in the past is a bad idea, which I didn't necessarily agree with, sometimes we need to look back and say what was going better, what were we doing better? Anyway...what was going better 20 years ago....hmm - the racing industry - obesity rates - air quality - the White House - the racing industry GOM 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
